Hasan Halacli — AI Solution Architect & Technical Lead

I architect AI that ships securely and runs reliably.

10+ years turning AI transformation into production-grade systems — LLMs, MLOps, and cloud-native platforms built for security, reliability, and EU data residency.

About Me

An AI Solution Architect & Technical Lead with extensive experience in AI, Machine Learning, and Data Engineering

I specialize in building end-to-end AI solutions, from data collection to deployment and maintenance, leading teams to deliver impactful results.

Work With Me

I help engineering organisations make AI part of how they build software — deliberately, and in a way that survives an audit. My day job is running an AI platform for a critical-infrastructure operator under EU regulation, where an unreviewed change is a regulatory event rather than a bug. That is the standard I bring.

AI coding agent governance

Your developers already use AI to write code. This makes it deliberate: what the tools may touch, who reviews the output, and how you prove it later.

  • Rules that live in the repository, not in a slide deck
  • Pipeline gates that block bad changes automatically
  • Human review protocol for what machines cannot judge
  • Traceability: which code was AI-written, and who approved it

From prototype to production

The demo works. Now it needs real users, real data and someone on call. This is the gap where most GenAI projects quietly stall.

  • Architecture review and a realistic path to launch
  • Evaluation and monitoring, so quality is measured not felt
  • Cost control before the invoice teaches you
  • Retrieval and agent systems that hold up under load

EU AI Act readiness

Find out which of your systems are in scope, what each one obliges you to do, and what is missing — before a customer or auditor asks first.

  • Risk classification per system, with reasoning
  • Obligation and gap analysis against your reality
  • Transparency and documentation you can actually maintain
  • Practical controls, not a policy nobody follows
How this starts
1

Start with the free audit

Eight questions, two minutes, no sign-up. You get a scored report and a starter policy you can use whether or not we ever speak.

2

A short call

Send me the report. I will tell you what I would fix first and what I would leave alone — including if the answer is that you need nobody.

3

A scoped piece of work

Fixed scope with a deliverable your team keeps: the rules, the gates, the review protocol, running in your pipeline.

Not sure where you stand?

Find out in two minutes. The audit asks eight plain questions about how your teams work today and hands you a report written for people who do not read code.
