What I Do

Learn more →Full-Stack MVPs
Launch your product fast with a production-ready MVP. From idea validation to first paying customers.
Learn more →AI Customer Support
Deploy AI chatbots that actually work. Multi-channel with your knowledge base.
SaaS Platforms

Healthcare Tech
HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms, patient portals, and healthcare APIs.
Technical Advisory
Architecture reviews, tech stack decisions, and hands-on guidance for your team.
AI development
Build AI products that actually ship
Every funded startup is asking how AI fits their product. I've built LLM apps, RAG systems, and intelligent workflows for real customers — not demos that stall in staging.
LLM copilots & chat
Chat interfaces, copilots, and AI assistants with streaming, memory, and guardrails — built on OpenAI, Anthropic, or open models.
RAG & knowledge bases
Search your docs, tickets, and internal data. Users get accurate answers grounded in your content, not hallucinations.
AI agents & automation
Multi-step workflows that take action — draft emails, update CRMs, run reports, and handle ops tasks end to end.
AI inside your MVP
Ship a full product with auth, payments, and AI features baked in. One senior engineer, one fixed scope, weeks not quarters.
