Thomas Cherickal

Generative AI Consultant

I train individuals and teams to work AI-first, from freshers and developers to architects, managers and CXOs. Training is live and remote and covers Claude agent orchestration, the Gemini toolset, and budget controls that keep AI spend predictable. For teams ready to invest in hardware, I also set up local LLMs that cut recurring cloud API bills.

Claude Agent Orchestration Gemini AI Toolkit Mastery Local LLM Deployment AI Budgets & Cost Control Workforce AI Training AI Developer Training (TDD) Custom Agent Development Live & Remote Delivery

I hold a postgraduate degree in Computer Science from Loyola College. I help individuals and businesses become AI-first, AI-native leaders and organizations. My work covers Generative AI, local LLM deployments that reduce inference costs, Claude agent orchestration, and AI training for every level from freshers to CXOs, one-to-one or for whole teams. The focus is practical use and budget-conscious rollout that shows up in daily work.
