Work

A selection of engagements, products and ventures that reflect the experience behind AKS.

Stealth construction AI venture

Building an AI-native operating layer for construction manufacturing.

Construction runs on people — crews, foremen, planners — and on knowledge that rarely makes it into any system. The product is being built alongside them, starting from how the work actually happens.

AI takes on the tracking and coordination, so people can focus on judgment, craft and safety. More to share when we come out of stealth.
