// about

Build Philosophy

I think in workflows, orchestration, context management, operational tooling, and deployable systems — not just prompts or model outputs.

My background spans AI systems building, workflow automation, healthcare operations, and insurance. This gives me a unique perspective on translating complex, often ambiguous operational problems into working AI solutions.

I work across the full stack — from prompt engineering and LLM orchestration to backend APIs and frontend interfaces. Every layer serves the workflow.

Working Principles

Workflow-First Thinking

I design systems that maintain context, reduce operational friction, and coordinate reliably across complex processes.

Orchestration Over Isolation

The challenge isn't generating output — it's designing workflows that evolve into usable internal tools.

Operational Architecture

I approach AI systems as operational architecture problems, not isolated model problems.

Rapid Prototyping

Move fast from concept to working system. Iterate based on real operational feedback, not theoretical improvements.

Deployable Solutions

Every system I build is designed to ship — not just demo. Production-ready from the start.

AI & Systems Projects

Open source projects showcasing AI orchestration, workflow systems, and operational tooling.

Plan Concierge

Compliance-aware workflows • AI explanations • operational tooling

View Code

Problem

ACA and Medicare plan selection involves fragmented workflows spanning intake, comparison, compliance, documentation, and explanation.

System Design

Built a workflow-oriented platform combining guided intake, plan comparison, AI-generated explanations, compliance tracking, and PDF export systems.

AI Novel Writing Application

Narrative-state management • prompt engineering • workflow orchestration

View Code

Problem

Most AI writing systems struggle with longform continuity, narrative structure, and generic prose generation.

System Design

Built a structured AI-assisted writing environment supporting outline generation, character systems, worldbuilding, chapter workflows, and export pipelines.

Autonomous Data Pipeline Engine

ETL orchestration • modular plugin systems • observability • workflow resilience

View Code

Problem

Data acquisition pipelines are often fragmented across scraping, enrichment, normalization, export, and observability systems.

System Design

Built a modular architecture combining async scraper plugins, ETL processing, Claude-powered enrichment workflows, export systems, observability tooling, and API/webhook infrastructure.

Hair Color Formula Engine

Deterministic rule engines • data normalization pipelines • multi-brand mapping • API design

View Code

Problem

Professional hair color knowledge is locked in vendor swatch books and stylist intuition — brand systems use incompatible naming, gray coverage and tone correction rules are inconsistent, and there is no machine-readable source of truth for cross-brand formula conversion.

System Design

Built a source-traceable dataset of 1,840+ professional shades feeding a deterministic rule engine exposed over a FastAPI REST API, with a staged data pipeline (normalized shades, tone maps, formulation rules) and dual SQLite/PostgreSQL backends selectable at runtime.

Long-Form AI Production Systems

Generating short AI output is easy. Producing a full-length, publication-ready product that stays coherent across chapters is a different problem. These projects build repeatable pipelines that manage structure, research continuity, tone, and final assembly across book-length outputs.

The Caregiver Control Manual

AI-assisted production system for a long-form eldercare operations manual. Generated and refined a structured manual with consistent chapter architecture, repeated worksheet logic, and risk-control framing — then translated into a software-ready product model with care cases, domain status tracking, and exportable packets.

The Millennial Money Playbook

AI-assisted publishing workflow for a consumer financial education product focused on insurance-based wealth concepts. Managed chapter structure, repeated explanation patterns, concept sequencing, and tone so the final product stayed readable and consistent across the full manuscript.
