Sheila Teo

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:
6+figures
ROI per enterprise
7+figures
raised per startup

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!"
