Hello, I'm Paulo H. Alkmin

I build systems that don’t fall apart in production.

25 years building systems that stay online. Now I apply that same discipline to AI.

Most AI projects look impressive in demos and collapse in production. I help teams design systems that actually ship, scale, and survive real users.

The Architect. The Builder. The Human.

Get to know the architect, the builder, and the human

Here's the short version.

For 25 years I've been the person brought in when systems can't afford to fail β€” high-traffic WordPress platforms, e-commerce operations in regulated markets, subscription engines where downtime means lost revenue. My bias has always been toward stability and long-term maintainability over clever solutions that break under pressure.

Today that same instinct shapes how I work with AI. I build RAG pipelines, automation workflows, and LLM integrations not as standalone experiments but as extensions of the infrastructure businesses already run on. The work is less about the technology and more about making sure it still works six months later when nobody is watching.

What I Do Best

  • AI Architecture (RAG/LLMs)
  • Solutions Architecture
  • Workflow Automation (n8n/Make)
  • Technical Content & DevRel
  • Performance Optimization
  • Technical Strategy & ROI
  • WordPress Architecture & Performance
