I build AI systems that hold up in production. Agents, assistants, chatbots, and RAG pipelines that real users depend on.
Getting a demo working is easy now. Making it reliable, fast, and cheap enough to put in front of real users is the hard part, and that’s the work I do.
20+ years building at scale, including senior engineering roles at Amazon and Meta. Today I work with founders and small teams as a fractional CTO and as the engineer actually writing the code. I help startups and businesses build AI-powered SaaS products, automate business/ operations workflows, and integrate AI into their applications so they launch faster and scale with confidence.
With deep roots in ERP, CRM, and API integration, I don't just wire up AI demos I build reliable systems that connect to the tools your business already runs on.
Depending on what you need, I work as the developer building it, the architect designing it, or the consultant telling you what to build first.
What i can help you with
Workflow and Business Automation - production pipelines with real error handling
AI Agents & AI Integrations - OpenAI, Claude, Gemini
AI SaaS & MVP Development - idea to launch
Next.js, React, Python & TypeScript - modern, scalable front-ends
API Integrations - ERP, CRM, and third-party systems
Supabase, Stripe & Authentication

How I work
I start with system design, not code. You get a clear architecture, an honest read on what will and won’t work, and a build that someone else can maintain after I’m gone. I care about latency and token cost because those decide whether your product has margins. Direct communication, fast iteration, no surprises.

Who I work with
Startups building an AI product from scratch. Teams that got a prototype working and are now stuck on reliability, cost, or scale. Founders who need senior technical leadership without a full-time CTO hire.

Selected projects
AI Document Intelligence (RAG)
Production RAG over 80,000 documents. Built the ingestion, chunking, and embedding pipeline, tuned retrieval for relevance at low latency, and shipped structured outputs feeding downstream workflows. Stack: OpenAI, vector DB, Python, Node.js, AWS. Result: 5,000 queries/day at 94% retrieval accuracy, p95 under 400ms.
AI Agent Workflow System
Multi-step agent orchestration with async execution, API integrations, document generation, and human-in-the-loop decision points. Real-time UI plus backend. Stack: OpenAI, Node.js, Next.js, AWS. Result: cut roughly 25 hours per week of manual analyst work.
Computer Vision Classification
Training and inference pipeline for image recognition, integrated with backend services and object storage, built to scale. Result: 96% accuracy across mixed-quality real-world inputs.
