Yu Xi Chau

I build efficient AI systems that organizations can use, govern and trust.

This page records the kinds of collaboration that fit the work on this site. The three routes are advisory and collaboration, speaking and workshops, and selected pro bono work: engineering judgement, organisational context, and practical AI governance meeting around a concrete question.

Areas of focus

The work sits around:

  • AI system architecture, model and tool choices, and production readiness
  • Generative AI applications, RAG, agentic workflows, and MLOps
  • Practical AI governance, guardrails, and operating processes
  • Product, vendor, and implementation decisions

Speaking and workshops

Occasional talks and practical workshops cover:

  • Building useful AI systems in complex organisations
  • AI governance that supports delivery rather than blocking it
  • How teams can evaluate models, tools, and workflows
  • Working effectively with generative AI while keeping human judgement in the loop

Pro bono work

I offer free consulting to Hong Kong non-profits, subject to availability. I can help with technology-stack reviews, process operationalisation, AI training, and product or vendor evaluation. See the pro bono details →
