AI Engineer & Builder

I am Rume Dominic.

AI engineer and builder.
I build AI agents you can check and trust, and I take them all the way from a first prototype to a system that runs in the real world.

Rume Dominic
The Architecture

AI engineer with a track record of taking AI prototypes and turning them into reliable, cloud-hosted systems, across financial automation, subscriber analytics, and SaaS.

I do not just write code. I design, build and ship the whole thing. I build LLM, RAG and agent systems that take over document-heavy work, help people make faster calls, and turn a design into real money saved or earned.

My work on verifiable agent accountability placed third at the 2026 Build on Canton hackathon in London, judged by a panel that included the Canton Foundation's founding chairman, and the tool is listed in the community Canton Developer Hub (the canton-network-devs catalogue).

Core Expertise

LLM & Agentic Systems

Orchestrating multi-agent workflows, tool usage, and prompt pipelines for autonomous execution and scale.

Machine Learning (RAG)

Building high-precision retrieval systems, OCR data extraction, and semantic search architectures.

Verification & Blockchain

Implementing cryptographic hashing (SHA-256) for tamper-evident documentation and IP provenance.

Product Finalization

Shipping dockerized SaaS that scales, on Google Cloud Run, Vercel and Next.js.

Selected Applied AI Systems
CANTON NETWORK · DAML · COMMUNITY DEV HUB

Know Your AgenticAI

Spending mandates enforced inside a Daml choice body on Canton, so the control cannot be bypassed by the service calling it, and every attempt, refusals included, becomes a hash-chained receipt an auditor can verify. Listed in the community Canton Developer Hub (the canton-network-devs catalogue), with three pull requests merged by the hub maintainer, and third place at the 2026 Build on Canton hackathon.
