Nils — GenAI Solution Architect

劉岦崱 · Nils — GenAI Solution Architect

You are reading the technical notes of someone actually shipping AI in a bank.

I make GenAI
and AI Agents
production-ready.

Taking AI from prototype to production in regulated enterprises — with governance, observability, and cost-control.

I'm Nils (劉岦崱) — a GenAI Solution Architect and builder at a leading financial holding company in Taiwan. I architect and ship production GenAI systems in regulated environments. Previously, I consulted at a Swiss financial consulting firm (global financial services consulting) and served as a Management Associate at a Singapore-headquartered bank. I follow a Software 3.0 / generalization-first approach: reusable capabilities, standardized interfaces, and measurable evaluation loops over one-off prompt customization.

Featured Prototypes

See how I build production-grade AI Agents — from concept to working demo.

AI KYC Agent — Autonomous Browser Automation

AI KYC Agent — Autonomous Browser Automation

An AI Agent that controls the browser like a human to perform KYC verification — fully autonomous, fully audited.

Autonomous Agent

AI controls the browser like a human operator — zero manual intervention required.

Full Audit Trail

Every action is recorded with screenshots and structured audit logs for compliance.

Auto-Generated Report

A structured KYC report is automatically produced upon task completion.

Compliance-Ready

Built for regulated environments — governance and observability from day one.

News Sentiment Agent Team — Multi-Agent Research

News Sentiment Agent Team — Multi-Agent Research

An AI Agent Team that breaks language and time barriers — users discuss news with AI, which automatically collects, summarizes, cites sources, and exports or emails reports.

Multi-Agent Collaboration

Agent team members work together and can be infinitely expanded for new capabilities.

Cross-Language Research

Break language and timezone barriers — discover and analyze global news in any language.

Interactive Q&A

Chat with AI to drill down into stories, uncover related news, and ask follow-up questions.

Auto Summary & Export

AI collects info, summarizes with sources attached, and exports or emails the final report.

Insurance Life — Into the Mist (Lead Dev: Yen-Min Chiu)

Insurance Life — Into the Mist (Lead Dev: Yen-Min Chiu)

A life simulation system that visualizes risk management and financial planning, mapping life's unexpected events to actual insurance claim logic.

Risk Visualization

Pre-warns of life events (like accidents or illness) so players can plan their safety nets in advance.

Actuarial Mapping

Dynamically maps unexpected events to real-world healthcare and insurance payout results.

Dynamic Age Engine

Accurately simulates changing income, family responsibilities, and risk probabilities over time.

Interactive Financial Education

Breaks down jargon barriers to provide an interactive experience with real-world claim logic.

AI Interview Assistant — Live Google Meet Participant (Lead Developer: Sunny Sun)

AI Interview Assistant — Live Google Meet Participant (Lead Developer: Sunny Sun)

An AI Agent that joins Google Meet as a named participant, providing real-time interview support and automated meeting documentation.

Live Meeting Participation

AI joins Google Meet directly as a named participant — no plugins or screen capture needed.

Interview Workflow Support

Assists interviewers in real-time with structured scoring and summary feedback on candidates.

Auto Meeting Minutes

Automatically records the full conversation and generates exportable structured meeting summaries.

Multi-Interviewer Integration

Supports multiple interviewers simultaneously, synthesizing different perspectives and evaluations.

Services

Focused engagements designed to move fast and deliver measurable outcomes.

Consulting

1–3 weeks

I help leadership teams cut through AI hype and make confident, informed decisions. Expect a clear roadmap, not a slide deck.

Best for: strategy clarity, architecture review, build-or-buy decisions

AI strategy assessment, architecture blueprint, vendor evaluation, risk & governance framework, executive readout.

Rapid Prototyping

2–6 weeks

I build production-grade prototypes that prove what's possible — and what isn't. Your team inherits clean code and clear documentation.

Best for: proving value fast, de-risking before committing headcount

Working prototype, evaluation suite, cost model, handoff documentation, demo recording.

Enablement & Training

0.5–2 days

I run intensive, hands-on workshops tailored to your team's stack and skill level. No generic content — everything is built around your real problems.

Best for: upskilling engineering teams, internal AI champions

Custom workshop, hands-on labs, reference materials, follow-up Q&A session.

Principles

The Bitter Lesson

Scale and compute win. I build systems that leverage foundation models rather than fight them.

Platform-First

One-off solutions don't survive. I design for reuse, governance, and team autonomy from day one.

Evaluation-Driven

If you can't measure it, you can't ship it. Rigorous evaluation is the foundation of every project I touch.
