About

Keogh Innovation

An AI platform consultancy built on real production experience, deep expertise in Kong AI Gateway, and a genuine passion for helping teams ship AI that actually works.

Keogh Innovation was founded by Andrew Kew — an AI platform engineer helping teams deploy LLMs safely, govern agents in production, and build the cloud-native foundations they run on.

Andrew is a recognised expert in the Kong AI Gateway ecosystem — LLM proxying, AI safety controls, MCP monetisation, and AI governance on Kubernetes. He's spoken at conferences and meetups worldwide on AI infrastructure, and has won the AI Hackathon at API Summit two years in a row.
