I build AI automations that work in production — not prototypes that break when real data hits them.
Building production systems across biomedical, defense, fintech, patent law, and cybersecurity.
You’ve seen the demos. AI agent does something amazing in a controlled environment, founder posts a video, everyone gets excited. Then you try to use it on real data and it falls over. Authentication wasn’t wired up. Errors crash the whole pipeline. The vector store got expensive. Nobody planned for what happens when the LLM is just wrong. I’ve written about why most AI projects fail this way — the short version is that nobody designed for production from day one.
Hire an AI automation developer who builds for what comes after the demo.
40 years shipping production systems — biomedical engineering, defense, fintech, patent law, cybersecurity. As an AI automation developer, I work primarily in Python and Claude Code. Most of my time goes to error handling, authentication, monitoring, and the boring infrastructure that decides whether your AI investment lasts six weeks or six years.
Most businesses don’t need another AI automation developer chasing the next framework. They need one who’s already done the hard parts — and who can tell them when AI isn’t the right answer.
AI is the new tool. Shipping is the old discipline.
What I Do
I’m a developer for hire. I build custom AI systems for businesses — workflow automation, AI agents, API integrations, data pipelines. The kind of work where someone needs to understand your process, write the code, and make it run reliably with real users and real data.
My stack: Python, Claude Code, LLM APIs, agent frameworks, database integrations. I work with business owners who know AI should be saving them time but haven’t found someone who can actually build it. I also partner with AI agencies who need a senior developer to handle the technical build on client projects.
What I’ve Done
Not demos. Real systems, real stakes, real users.
Processed 250,000 SBA loans in 6 months during COVID. Built and owned the SBA interface for a small fintech startup during the Paycheck Protection Program surge. When small businesses across the country were waiting on emergency funding, the automation I built was what moved their applications through. Production system, regulatory pressure, zero room for “it works on my machine.”
Developed Cybersecurity automation for patch and vulnerability reporting. Designed and built the workflows that turned manual patch tracking and vulnerability reporting into automated pipelines. If we saw a bad actor scanning our site, we verified it WAS a bad actor and not a google bot, then blocked it and reported it. Within 30 seconds of detection. This is the kind of unglamorous infrastructure work that determines whether a security team is reactive or actually ahead of the threat.
Created a Multi-tier Cyber Insurance Interview platform (MVP in progress) Currently building an AI-driven intake system that replaces the painful, error-prone insurance application process with a guided interview that validates answers in real time and produces underwriter-ready output. Engineer + attorney + CySA+ + licensed P&C agent — this is what happens when one person owns the whole stack.
Why I’m Good at This
I’ve spent 40 years doing the same thing in different domains: walk into a field I don’t know, learn the workflow, build a system that works.
Started at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in biomedical and electrical engineering. Then defense. Then enterprise software at VMware. Then patent law — I passed the California Bar and the USPTO Patent Bar, practiced for nearly 20 years, and authored six patents. Then cybersecurity — I earned my CompTIA CySA+ certification and spent three years securing fintech infrastructure on AWS.
Every move was a new domain. The engineering transferred every time. AI automation is the latest application, and it draws on all of it — the software architecture, the security thinking, the ability to understand regulated industries, and the pattern of learning a client’s world fast enough to build something useful.
What You Get
Production systems, not demos. I build with error handling, authentication, monitoring, and the other 70% of the work that most builders skip.
- Security built in. CySA+ certified. Your automation handles data properly from day one.
- Domain fluency. I’ve worked across engineering, law, healthcare, finance, and cybersecurity. I pick up your workflow fast because I’ve done it dozens of times in other industries.
- Clear scope, clear delivery. You know what you’re getting, what it costs, and when it ships.
