About

Professional summary

I am an AI-native full-stack and iOS software engineer who builds and deploys production applications using a deliberate human-in-the-loop development process. I use Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, and ChatGPT to accelerate implementation while personally reviewing, testing, and correcting every meaningful change before release.

I design end-to-end LLM-enabled products, including AI chautbots, conversational agents, serverless AI endpoints, and an iOS relationship communication application powered by the Anthropic Claude API. My core stack includes TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Next.js, SwiftUI, Supabase, and Vercel.

I have built and deployed more than seven Next.js applications, covering SaaS products, e-commerce compliance tooling, calculators, healthcare education, service-business websites, and marketing experiences. I also work with authentication, Row-Level Security, payments, technical SEO, structured data, analytics, and production release workflows.

Before software engineering, I spent more than 15 years as a board-certified general surgeon and healthcare leader. That background gave me a strong operational mindset centered on checklists, risk identification, privacy awareness, verification, and complete ownership of outcomes.

I bring deep healthcare domain expertise, hands-on knowledge of major EHR systems, and substantial teaching experience with more than 1,000 trainees. I am especially interested in building reliable AI products, healthcare technology, LLM applications, and high-quality web and mobile software.

Career history

Founder & Lead AI-Native Engineer Metamorphosis LLC & Living Healthier, LLC

I am the sole engineer for a portfolio of AI-assisted iOS and web products, responsible for requirements, architecture, implementation, verification, and deployment. I use a repeatable workflow in which Claude proposes plans, Cursor produces reviewable code diffs, and I manually test and validate each change through local runs, curl checks, and production acceptance criteria.

I designed and launched 20 Minute Truce, an AI-powered SwiftUI app for couples' communication. The app uses Supabase and Anthropic Claude API Edge Functions for real-time message translation, conflict mediation, and relationship-pattern analysis. I resolved App Store rejection issues, fixed authentication and Row-Level Security defects, migrated deprecated models to Claude Haiku 4.5, and shipped a TestFlight build with verified RevenueCat sandbox purchasing.

I am also building TikTok Shop Guard, a Next.js AI compliance SaaS with TikTok OAuth, Supabase, Stripe subscriptions, Vercel deployment, and an AI appeal-drafting workflow. Through The Chat-alysts, I create and deploy AI chat assistants, web chat widgets, lead capture flows, and calendar booking experiences for small businesses.

Across a web application portfolio, I have delivered Next.js sites and tools with SSR, technical SEO, structured data, sitemaps, analytics, payments, email automation, Redis-backed access control, and zero-downtime domain migrations.
