Applied AI prototypes and production systems—built fast, delivered clean.

I help teams turn messy information into reliable tools: multilingual narrative monitoring, document intelligence, audience-adaptive content pipelines, and speech analytics for real-world workflows.

I take on a small number of engagements at a time to stay hands-on through delivery.

Trusted foundations. Practical delivery.

What I build

Multilingual narrative monitoring

Track themes, framing shifts, and emergent narratives across languages and channels—so teams can understand what's moving and respond with clarity.

Document intelligence (RAG/search)

Turn internal docs into a searchable, citation-grounded assistant: policy, research, contracts, SOPs, knowledge bases—built with evaluation and guardrails.

Audience-adaptive information pipelines

Transform complex information into clearer formats for different audiences—readability levels, structured summaries, localization, tone guides—with quality checks.

Speech + conversation analytics

Real-time or batch transcription with sentiment/tone signals and actionable summaries for coaching, customer experience, or internal review workflows.

Evaluation + reliability engineering

LLM test harnesses, retrieval evaluation, red-teaming, prompt/version control, and "what good looks like" metrics—so AI stays dependable.

How engagements work

Pick the model that fits your timeline:

Selected work

Multilingual narrative monitoring for public communications

Supported a public-facing communications environment with multilingual narrative tracking and trend analysis, helping teams understand how messaging themes evolved across channels.

  • Multilingual pipeline design + analysis workflow
  • Human review loop + reporting format
  • Focus on clarity, not "gotcha" labeling

Audience-adaptive news interpretation prototype

Designed an approach to transform complex news/information into formats accessible to different audiences while preserving fidelity and sourcing.

  • Readability-aware rewriting + structured summaries
  • Quality checks and editorial guardrails
  • Prototype concept + architecture proposal

Real-time speech analytics prototype

Built an early prototype for streaming speech processing with live sentiment/tone signals and summaries for feedback and coaching workflows.

  • Real-time pipeline + dashboard concept
  • Practical latency considerations
  • Emphasis on signals for review, not automated judgment

I don't do political microtargeting, covert persuasion, or surveillance deployments. If your use case needs careful boundaries, we'll define them up front.

My delivery approach

1

Define "done" — success metrics, failure modes, and constraints

2

Build the smallest valuable slice — prove value fast

3

Instrument + evaluate — quality, latency, cost, error analysis

4

Harden + hand off — docs, tests, monitoring, training

About

I'm Gregory O'Connor—an applied AI engineer and problem-solver who's spent decades translating complex systems into usable tools. I work best where the problem is real, the stakes are non-trivial, and the solution needs to ship.

Let's talk

Best first message includes:

  • What you're trying to accomplish
  • What data/systems are involved
  • Timeline + budget range (even rough)
  • Constraints (security, compliance, stakeholders)
