Project Overview
Situation
Enterprise GenAI platforms in banking operate under strict governance, security, and release constraints — contributing requires deep understanding of an interconnected monorepo ecosystem rather than treating AI as a standalone chatbot feature.
Task
Ramp into Santander's AI Assist environment: map repository architecture and integration boundaries, complete KT, document technical walkthroughs, and prepare for governed production contribution.
Action
Explored the AI Assist monorepo and interconnected repositories to map capabilities, dependencies, and integration boundaries; participated in KT, architecture discussions, and internal demos; produced technical walkthrough documentation; set up enterprise development access (VDI, AWS/application permissions, tooling).
Result
Built production context inside a governed enterprise GenAI stack — moving from integrating AI into products to engineering directly on an enterprise assistant ecosystem.
