Sheila built us an AI system that spotted a recurring client issue hiding in months of ticket data. She helps us see what in AI can actually create business value.

Ted Brown Director, Ntiva

Sheila is a rare partner who goes beyond the statement of work to set us up for long-term success. She proactively spots opportunities we didn’t think to look for.

Steve Banke CTO, Ntiva

Why AI projects don't become business ROI.

Most AI projects don't move the bottom line. Here are the 3 places I usually see them break.

Your AI projects need a business filter.

Your AI problem is not a shortage of ideas or investment. It's funding use cases that never touch a workflow important enough to move the business.

I help you narrow the field to workflows with technical feasibility, usable data, and a clear path to ROI. The output is one highest-ROI workflow worth building first.

Your ROI happens in your workflows.

Most AI tools make one step faster: a summary, a draft, a recommendation. But your expensive work isn't one step. It's the chain of work that pulls your people into manual coordination.

If that chain doesn't change, isolated tasks get faster, but your workflow still gets stuck before and after them.

ROI shows up when the workflow itself changes — AI handles the repeatable work, humans stay in control of key decisions, and work actually moves differently.

Once the right workflow is chosen, I build it into a production AI agent system.

Built inside your existing stack.

For your workflows to change, AI cannot sit off to the side. Your agent systems need to be where your teams already work.

I integrate agent systems into your existing stack, so your people aren't left chasing work across tools.

Non-exhaustive examples

From AI opportunity to measurable ROI.

Most AI spend gets trapped in isolated productivity gains. I start with the workflow that can move the business, then deliver a live agent system running in your cloud within 8 weeks, with a dashboard showing the money it saved you.

Stage 1 2 weeks

Find where AI can create value for your business.

I start by narrowing the field. Each candidate workflow is scored for business value, repeatability, data readiness, risk, and production complexity.

Not every workflow is worth automating. I find ones with high return and high feasibility that can deliver strong ROI.

Stage 2 2 weeks

Redesign your workflow around AI.

I map how the workflow actually runs across your teams and systems. Then I redesign the process and build the AI agent system to handle it.

LLM choice comes after the workflow is clear. I'm provider-agnostic, choosing the LLM and deployment path that fits your privacy, latency, and cost needs.

Book a diagnostic call

Built for enterprise trust.

Every implementation is designed around the controls you need before AI touches live work.

01

Your data is protected by design — what reaches the LLM, what is stored where, who sees each part of your workflow.

I define these boundaries with you upfront, then enforce them on every run.

02

Access stays scoped. Agents reach your systems through bounded integrations, not open-ended data access.

They see only the records the workflow requires.

  • Data permissions mapped to your business roles
  • Boundaries inherited from your identity provider
Action Limit Policy
CRM — Update deal stage Deals under $25k value allow
Billing — Issue refund Up to $1k allow
HR — Read employee salary deny
03

Humans stay in control. High-risk decisions route through your approval chain first.

The agent prepares the action. Your team decides whether it executes, and nothing happens until human approvals clear.

01 Draft action auto
02 Risk classify auto
03 Awaiting your team's approval hold
04 Execute on approve
04

Every agent step is traced — inputs, reasoning, actions, escalations, and outcomes.

All logged so your team can inspect what happened and why.

Agent behavior is evaluated continuously.

Regressions surface in testing, before they ever reach users.

Evaluation suite Coverage Result
Expected responses 120 cases 98%
Edge cases 64 cases 95%
Expert-reviewed set 120 examples 99%
Re-run continuously, before & after launch

Failures have a path. Uncertain outputs, edge cases, and errors route to fallback paths instead of silently breaking.

  • Confidence thresholds defined per action
  • Edge cases go to the right human
  • Errors trigger predefined recovery rules

"Analyzing client churn risk has always been brutally manual for us, as it was hard to keep close tabs on many clients or risk signals. Sheila turned that into an AI system that surfaces repeated patterns over time, making churn risk visible in a way we couldn't do before. Within weeks, it flagged a client issue that had been hiding in our ticket data for months."

I'm Sheila Teo.

Orso is my independent AI engineering practice.

I started Orso because I kept seeing enterprise teams invest in AI tools without real business ROI. These helped people move faster, but isolated productivity gains don't translate meaningfully into business impact. The workflows that actually drive the business must change. That gap is where I deliver: Determining one high-value workflow, redesigned into a live AI agent system in 8 weeks, with business impact you can measure immediately.

My Background

Columbia Engineering, Ex‑FAANG. 6+ years shipping production AI across enterprise, government & startups. Winner of 2× LLM competitions. 300K readers from my technical AI writing.

Across every engagement, I've delivered:

How Orso works

You work directly with me

From system design to code to deployment — I build the AI system for you, or embed with your engineers and build it together in your codebase.

Same specialist, start to finish. No junior handoffs, no coordination tax.

For larger work, I bring in my network of elite AI engineers and stay personally accountable for delivery end-to-end.

You own what I build

Your team understands and operates the AI system without me.

What companies notice

You stay ahead of the field.

AI moves fast, and your team's plate is already full. Tracking the frontier is what I'm here for.

It's where I live: competing, writing, speaking, and building alongside engineers at the top of this field.

Companies bring me in when they need more than a generic AI engineer. They also want:

1

Someone who flags what's worth your attention — before it's on your radar.

"Sheila is the person who helps us understand what in AI can actually create business value for us. She consistently brings us new developments that can be immediately applied to a real challenge we have."

Ted Brown
Director | Ntiva, Inc.
2

Someone who leaves your internal team stronger.

Because great AI talent is hard to find and expensive to hire. When I work with your team, you don't just get a finished AI system. I care about transferring what I know onto your engineers, and about being someone you'll be glad you worked with.

"Sheila makes the people around her better at AI. She's generous with what she knows, explains things clearly, and leaves you with judgment you keep using after the project is over."

Ken Rees
CEO
FloatMe

"I learned so much from working with Sheila that still helps me to this day!"
