Open to senior architecture conversations

I’m Saliou.
AI Solution Architect.

I architect enterprise AI systems, build real-world AI products, and help organizations adopt AI responsibly. Today that work happens at AT&T's Chief Data Office, designing and operationalizing AI and GenAI governance at one of the world's largest telcos. I came from civil engineering: four years at AECOM on $1.6B Texas roadway projects. Same systems discipline, different infrastructure.
