Move faster with AI that knows your business
not just your prompts
I help teams operationalize AI through governed domain memory, integration into real workflows, and measurable outcomes—without compromising reliability, security, or cost discipline.
What I do
Three capabilities that make AI operational—not just experimental.
Domain Memory
A central nervous system for your business knowledge. I architect governed retrieval systems that allow AI to accurately reference your internal data, policies, and history—eliminating hallucinations and ensuring compliance.
AI Enablement
Turning potential into performance. I map your high-value workflows to agentic systems, automating manual bottlenecks and enabling your team to operate with the leverage of modern AI tools.
Platform Reliability
Built for business continuity. I design AI systems with the same rigor as financial software—including comprehensive audit logs, cost management, and automated fallback strategies for 24/7 reliability.
Ways to work together
Packaged engagements with clear outputs—no open-ended scope creep.
AI Architecture & Readiness Review
90-minute deep dive + written findings with target architecture, risk register, and prioritized next steps.
Domain Memory Design Sprint
Define memory schema, retrieval strategy, governance boundaries, evaluation plan, and integration map.
AI Enablement & Velocity Sprint
Agent/sub-agent workflow design, repo automation hooks, guardrails, and a “how we ship now” playbook.
Fractional Principal / Staff
Weekly architecture guidance, reviews, enablement, and technical narrative—with optional hands-on spikes.
Teams enabled
I help teams ship faster—here's what that looks like.
Non-coders shipping full-stack code
Enabled team members who had never coded to ship database migrations, API endpoints, and frontend features through structured AI workflows and guardrails.
Platform brought to life with Claude Code
Stood up the FlipSmart platform and enabled the team with Claude Code workflows—accelerating development velocity while maintaining code quality and review standards.
Early-career devs shipping across the stack
Transformed how a team of early-career developers ship—enabling full-stack contributions, automated testing workflows, and confident deployments.
About
I'm Paul Mikulskis—a senior engineer based in Boston with a decade of experience shipping production systems at companies like VMware, LogRocket, and Flipside Crypto.
I've built data platforms, payments infrastructure, and AI systems that operate at scale. I care about reliability, cost discipline, and making AI actually useful for teams—not just demos.
