AI Strategy & Roadmap
Cut through the hype. I help founders identify where AI creates real value in their product—and build a practical path to get there.
AI Architect & Consultant
I help startups and scale-ups move from AI ambition to production reality—with systems that are fast, reliable, and built to last.

Services
Cut through the hype. I help founders identify where AI creates real value in their product—and build a practical path to get there.
Validate ideas fast. From transformer-based NLP to custom deep learning architectures, I build working prototypes that prove (or disprove) your hypothesis before you over-invest.
Move beyond the notebook. I design low-latency inference systems and ML pipelines that handle real-world traffic without breaking.
Build trust with users, investors, and regulators. I establish AI governance frameworks and interpretability practices that make your systems auditable and defensible.
Empower your team with AI agents that work alongside them. I design and implement agentic workflows—from tool-using assistants to multi-agent systems—that automate complex tasks while keeping humans in the loop.
About
I'm Sekhar Banarjee—an independent AI consultant with 8+ years of experience building intelligent systems across 6+ startups and enterprises.
Previously, I led the Responsible Generative AI team at Mea (UK), designing ethical AI solutions at scale. I've built NLP systems, custom transformer architectures, and ML platforms across fintech, conversational AI, and enterprise software—from early-stage startups to established companies.
I've published research on deep learning and distributed computing. I hold certifications in TensorFlow, Spark, and high-performance computing. And I write production code in Rust when milliseconds matter.
Now I help founders and teams who want technical depth without enterprise bloat—clear thinking, honest assessments, and systems that ship.
