I help companies integrate AI into real workflows, build API-driven automations, and ship internal tools that actually get used. 3+ years doing this across SaaS, operations, and enterprise IT.
Each of these solved a real business problem — not a demo, not a proof of concept sitting in a repo. These run in production.
Most automation requests start as "we need AI." I start by mapping the actual workflow — where time is wasted, where errors happen, where a human is doing something a system should handle. The best automation is the one that solves the problem nobody articulated yet.
Everything I build runs in real environments with real users. That means error handling, monitoring, documentation, and handoff. I build systems that your team can maintain after I'm gone — not black boxes only I understand.
I work in short cycles. You'll see working software quickly, and we'll refine together. I've spent 3 years translating between technical and non-technical teams — I speak both languages and I'll make sure you always know what's happening.
I'm taking on contract work for companies that want to move fast. Tell me what's broken and I'll tell you how I'd fix it.
