Julien Ziolkowski

AI Automation Engineer · Forward-Deployed Engineer

I bridge the gap between ambiguous business problems and deterministic AI-driven outcomes by architecting, building, and deploying secure, sovereign, agentic systems.

01Profile

Full-stack engineer focused on sovereign AI automation: agentic workflows on hardened VPS, custom MCP servers in Go, hybrid model orchestration, and KPI-driven systems that turn ambiguous business goals into measurable outcomes. Single-binary Go deployments you can ship in an afternoon.

  • Technical discovery and client onboarding for 30+ customer review analysis projects and 10 data analysis engagements.
  • Defined measurable e-commerce KPIs and engineered systems to move them.

  • Built custom MCP servers (Go) bridging frontier LLMs with proprietary data substrates.
  • Designed and deployed full agentic workflows on VPS with WireGuard for secure, sovereign remote team workflows.
  • Hybrid model orchestration: local models (llama.cpp) + frontier (Claude, Claude Code), routed by cost and data sensitivity.

  • Led client calls and presented data insights to stakeholders.
  • E-commerce KPI fluency: defining measurable targets and outcomes from ambiguous business goals.
