AI strategy for organizations drowning in their own documents

I work with organizations that need to retrieve, understand, or act on knowledge buried inside large, specialized document collections — patents, technical literature, or internal archives.

Services

Where I can help

STRATEGY

AI Strategy & Advisory

Helping teams decide where AI and retrieval actually fit their problem, what to build versus buy, and how to scope a realistic first project.

RAG

Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Designing RAG pipelines for domain-specific document collections — chunking strategy, embedding choice, and evaluation that goes beyond a demo that only works once.

SEARCH

Semantic & Enterprise Search

Moving internal search beyond keyword matching, so people searching a knowledge base actually find what they mean, not just what they typed.

CORE EXPERTISE

Patent Intelligence & Prior-Art Search

Building and improving prior-art search, patent classification, and novelty-detection systems — the domain I've spent my PhD specializing in.

MODELS

Domain-Specific Language Models

Fine-tuning and adapting embeddings and LLMs to specialized vocabularies — legal, technical, medical, or patent language that general-purpose models handle poorly.

DISCOVERY

Knowledge Management & Discovery

Applying topic modeling and text mining to structure large unstructured collections, so organizations can see what they actually know.

Who I Work With

Organizations sitting on hard-to-search knowledge

  • Patent offices & IP law firms
  • R&D-heavy manufacturers
  • Healthcare & health-tech organizations
  • Research institutions & universities
  • Enterprise teams with large internal document collections

How It Works

A simple, low-risk way to start

  1. 1

    A short discovery call to understand your document collection, current search pain points, and goals.

  2. 2

    A scoped assessment or pilot — usually a small, bounded project that proves out an approach before any larger commitment.

  3. 3

    Implementation support or an ongoing advisory relationship, depending on what the pilot tells us.

Speaking & Workshops

Talks and hands-on sessions for teams and conferences

I'm available for talks, internal workshops, and conference sessions on AI, retrieval, and patent intelligence — pitched for either a technical team or a mixed technical/business audience, depending on what you need.
