Bevan Stanely

GenAI Strategist & Engineer

Summary

GenAI practitioner who shapes AI strategy and builds the systems underneath it — from finance data-transformation requirements and PRDs to production LLM backends, ML/CV pipelines, and low-level GPU/Rust/WASM systems shipped end to end. Backed by an MBA in Business Analytics and hands-on delivery on AWS and GCP.

Experience

Business Analyst — Finance Data TransformationAccenture
  • Drove requirements gathering and PRD creation for 3+ finance data transformation usecases, bridging business strategy and technical implementation through structured source-to-target mapping and AI-assisted documentation with Claude.
  • Built a Google Apps Script tool to auto-generate JSON configuration files from Google Sheets data models, enabling scalable configuration delivery across 13+ usecases for the internal deployment team.
  • Took ownership of RBAC across 5+ systems (GCP projects, Git repositories, internal tools) without documentation — mapped the permission model, defined role tiers, executed assignments, and established a shared Git repository with tiered approval workflows.
GenAI Platform Engineer — GenAI Experience PlatformAccenture
  • Owned the design and deployment of a production-ready backend pipeline enabling end-to-end image generation, persona detection, and secure UI workflows using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and containerized services, validated through full E2E testing.
  • Implemented enterprise-grade integrations and resilience controls, including a secure authentication wrapper over a third-party API and a fallback image-generation strategy using AWS Bedrock to ensure reliability under peak load, while cutting perceived latency through video best-frame optimization.
CV/ML Developer — Architecture & Pipeline Execution (POC)Accenture
  • Built and validated end-to-end ML/CV training and inference pipelines — data ingestion, feature engineering, and spatio-temporal processing — with model debugging and accuracy checks to stabilize outputs across seasons.
Financial Operations Analyst InternHSBC
  • Led design and automation of regulatory reporting workflows, integrating data from multiple internal systems, and partnered with compliance and risk managers to translate regulatory requirements into scalable process solutions.
Risk Analyst InternIndialends
  • Automated risk and performance reporting pipelines for 1,300+ loans (saving 48+ hours annually) and built SQL-based validation checks to enhance loan-data integrity for reporting and compliance.

Projects

WhisperForge — GPU-Accelerated Speech-to-Text in Rust
Personal Project
  • Built a high-performance Rust implementation of OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text with GPU acceleration (Burn + WGPU; Vulkan/DX12/Metal), delivering SOTA decoding (beam search, temperature fallback, quality gates) on par with faster-whisper.
  • Engineered per-token timestamps via cross-attention peaks (~100 ms precision) and speaker diarization, with INT8 quantization for ~4x model compression and real-time streaming transcription; shipped as a `wforge` CLI on crates.io.
Edge Embeddings + Rust/WASM Recommender
Personal Project
  • Quantized and compressed embeddings (~4x smaller) into a Rust/WASM pipeline with MessagePack data bundles, delivering low-latency, in-browser song recommendations running entirely on the edge with no server round-trips.
Research Summarizer using RAG + Multi-Agent LLMs
AI & Knowledge Management
  • Built a RAG-based summarization pipeline for 1,000+ research papers, combining retrieval with sequential agents (CoT planner -> associative reasoning -> composer) and a Streamlit chatbot UI for grounded, interactive synthesis.
