AI & Technology Consulting
I architect and build AI and data systems. Usually I'm the only engineer on the project, from schema through deployment. You work with me directly.
Not a fit if you need a team of five shipping in six weeks, or if an off-the-shelf tool already solves it. I'll tell you that on the first call rather than after you've paid for discovery.
Mission-critical systems for Cisco, Amelia AI, Dell, and Disney, and since 2024, independent client work. Most of what I take on is a system somebody depends on being right.
Where AI actually fits, what it costs to run, and what breaks when a vendor deprecates a model. Most systems need less AI than the pitch suggests, applied more carefully.
Architecture through deployment, built by the person who designed it. Extraction pipelines, multi-provider AI integration, and systems that run unattended.
The work that isn't code — technical documentation, specifications, project and product management — from someone who has done the code.
Chosen because the engineering problems were interesting, not because they're the most recent. Each is written up in full — including what was built, what wasn't, and what I'd do differently.
A verification platform for renewable energy certificates. Ingests proof as whatever a registry emits — CSV, PDF, email, screenshot — extracts it with AI, and checks it against the registries down an independent path.
An automated trading system tracking 2,000 symbols across four timeframes, unattended, every trading day. Built in 2001, before the infrastructure it needed existed.
A relationship-first AI companion for older adults. Offline-first Flutter client over a Spring Boot backend, with accessibility stored as a property of the person rather than the device.
Tell me what you're working on. If it's a fit, I'll say so — and if it isn't, I'll tell you that too, and point you somewhere better.
