Resume

I've been building software for over 15 years, and for the last five, I've been hooked on AI development. It started as a way to boost my own workflow with smarter testing, automated code reviews, and instant prototypes. Then the rabbit hole opened, and I went all in. Now I'm building 8-stage prompt frameworks, self-improving RL feedback loops, synthetic training data pipelines, and real-time streaming media servers for in-meeting AI avatars.

These days I treat AI like any other part of the stack. I understand how it works, stress-test it, and only keep what's useful. I squeeze most of this work into early mornings and late nights, between managing 3½-year-old twins. When your time's precious, you quickly learn the difference between what sounds cool and what actually works.

How I Help
AI Systems & Architecture
End-to-end design of AI systems that use real context and plug into your tools. Clear boundaries, reliable data flow, measurable outcomes.
Agent Workflows & Automation
Task-specific agents that handle the boring stuff, escalate when needed, and leave a clean audit trail.
Rapid Prototyping
Fast builds to validate ideas, from clickable demos to working internal tools. Ship, learn, iterate.
Technical Product Management
Translate strategy into shipped work. Roadmaps, prioritization, delivery that holds up under pressure.
Codebase & Infra Audits
Practical audits that flag risk, uncover leverage points, and map a path to "this actually works."
Internal Tools & Platforms
Build or harden the systems your team lives in, from dashboards to CI/CD to the glue code that keeps it moving.
AI Enablement & Training
Hands-on workshops and playbooks so teams can use AI well, not just talk about it.
