AI Engineering + Consulting
AI systems in production, not pilots. Built, shipped, and operated by one person. Check any claim on this page yourself.

Most AI engagements stall between the strategy deck and a working system. I do both halves, so nothing gets handed off and lost.
Production telephony, not a demo widget. Inbound and outbound, call recording and transcripts, escalation paths, and the carrier and compliance layer underneath. One of mine currently answers a public help line around the clock, in a regulated category, without a human in the loop.
Retell. Telnyx. Twilio. SIP.
SwiftUI, StoreKit 2 in app purchase, subscriptions, and the App Review process end to end. Ten live on the App Store today.
Nginx, TLS, DNS automation, Stripe billing, monitoring, nightly backups. 23 domains and 31 certificates, administered solo.
Half of what gets proposed as an AI project is a workflow problem wearing a costume. I will tell you which half yours is, in plain language, before anyone writes code.

Results
My day job is asset protection operations for a 332 associate Walmart supercenter, leading a team of fifteen. Every supervisor on that team was promoted out of the hourly ranks.
That is the part most AI consultants are missing. I do not hand a system to an operations team and leave. I have been the operations team. I know what gets ignored at 6am on a short staffed Saturday, and I build for that shift instead of for the demo.
So the tools I build at work get measured the way everything else in a store gets measured. On the P&L, against plan, every period.
These are employer numbers, so they are not published anywhere I control. They are a reference call away, and I will give you the reference.
Background
Internal and external investigations as an hourly associate. Supply chain asset protection in a 24/7 powered equipment facility. Asset protection assistant store manager for a high volume metro store, including leading that store through the 2020 Indianapolis civil unrest. Six years running a licensed general contracting company with full P&L ownership, from first estimate to final invoice.
None of that is a software resume, and that is the point. I came to AI engineering from the side of the business that has to absorb whatever technology gets dropped on it.
Everything I build now, I also run. The billing, the servers, the App Review rejections, the 2am pager. There is no team behind me to escalate to, which means nothing ships unless it actually works.
If it is a bad idea, I will say so on the first call. That is usually the most valuable hour of the engagement.
