Hire an AI Implementation Engineer, UK

An AI implementation engineer wires AI — coding agents, LLM tooling, automation — into the systems and workflows a company already runs, so it reaches production rather than staying a demo. I do this as contract or fractional work, available immediately, inside or outside IR35.

What you get

An audit of your current stack and workflows to find where agentic AI or LLM tooling actually earns its keep — and where it's theatre.
Hands-on implementation: wiring coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Kimi-class tools) into existing engineering workflows, with review and proof-of-work gates so output is trustworthy, not just fast.
A provider-agnostic setup — a multi-engine router and credential/quota broker pattern, so the team isn't locked to one vendor.
Adversarial cross-engine review built into the delivery process from day one — one model builds, a different model attacks the diff — catching production-class defects (SSRF, IDOR, auth gaps, races) that single-engine review misses.

Who it's for

Engineering teams that already have a codebase, CI and a review culture, and want AI implemented properly inside it.
Leaders who've watched a coding-agent pilot produce plausible-looking but unverified output, and want the guardrails rather than another demo.
Regulated or security-sensitive teams — fintech, payments — where "the agent said it worked" isn't evidence.

Who it's NOT for

Teams wanting an AI-strategy slide deck with no implementation attached — that's a different engagement.
A single canned tool install with no change to how work gets reviewed — that doesn't fix the reliability problem.
A full-time in-house hire — this is contract or fractional engineering, not a day-to-day staff seat.

How it runs

Starts with a scoped audit of the current stack and where agent-driven work would land.
Runs as a contract engagement, or a fractional arrangement for ongoing work — cadence agreed per engagement.
Delivered directly through Appaya Ltd, my own company — not resold through an agency.
Remote or London hybrid.
