About

Professional summary

I am a Principal AI Engineer focused on designing and delivering production AI systems, including LLM applications, retrieval pipelines, agent infrastructure, OCR extraction, and multimodal conversational platforms.

I lead technical implementation across the full lifecycle, from working with clients and domain experts to define requirements through evaluation, deployment, reliability testing, and operational monitoring. I mentor engineers on LLM design and evaluation practices.

I have built high-volume document extraction systems that combine OCR and LLMs, achieving validated structured outputs across hundreds of fields while reducing processing costs and replacing manual workflows.

I build secure and resilient AI agent systems with sandboxing, allow-listed tools, context management, semantic retrieval, telemetry, and hermetic reliability testing. My experience also includes self-hosted GPU inference, FastAPI services, databases, and containerized deployments.

Beyond AI systems, I have developed embedded IoT monitoring products, real-time voice applications, web platforms, mobile products, and data-collection pipelines. I work primarily with Python, TypeScript, C, SQL, cloud infrastructure, and modern web technologies.

Career history

Principal AI Engineer Greedy AI

I serve as the senior technical voice for AI systems, reviewing implementation, mentoring engineers on LLM design and evaluation, and partnering directly with clients and domain experts throughout delivery.

I built a production OCR and LLM invoice-extraction platform that processes thousands of utility invoices daily. I established its ground-truth evaluation methodology and drove context-engineering iterations that reached 97% aggregate field-level accuracy across several hundred fields.

I built secure MCP agent infrastructure, sandboxed subagents, semantic retrieval, telemetry, and hermetic reliability tests. I also delivered self-hosted conversational AI, proposal-generation, clinical voice simulation, embedded cold-chain monitoring, web services, and provider-outreach systems.

Contract Software Engineer Cygotech

I delivered a custom Stable Diffusion LoRA end to end, including training-data curation, captioning, tuning across multiple runs, and release of the final adapter, which exceeded 3,500 downloads.

I built and containerized self-hosted products including a WebRTC screen-and-audio sharing application, a Matrix media bot using yt-dlp and ffmpeg, and a file storage and sharing platform with access controls and expiring links. I also completed an inherited PHP meetup platform with geolocation-based event discovery.

Founding Engineer Pictured

I was the sole engineer for a social photo-rating platform built with Flutter and Firebase. I developed a two-sided credit economy where users earned credits for ranking photo batches and used credits to distribute their own batches.

I designed the demographic targeting system for routing content by age, gender, and region, which also supported the paid advertising product. I owned the full stack, including the Flutter client, Firebase services, transaction ledger, profiles, and discovery feed.
