Hire the Best Architects in Colorado

I help clients turn AI initiatives into operational systems that people can actually use and trust. I embed with client teams from discovery through rollout—identifying the right opportunity, designing the architecture, writing the code, integrating existing systems, and building the evaluations and human controls required for adoption. Clients bring me in when an important AI initiative needs more than a strategy deck or prototype. Because I handle both architecture and implementation, I can move from executive conversation to production code without the handoffs and delays of a conventional consulting team. CURRENT WORK • Clinical speech AI and multilingual interpretation For a multi-facility medical clinic in Dallas, I am building the data and model pipeline behind a self-hosted multilingual interpretation platform. The current work centers on collecting dialect-rich Arabic speech from clinic workflows and putting it through rigorous human transcription and review. The system supports segmentation, separate ASR and translation review, second-reader adjudication, consent controls, exact model and audio lineage, and reproducible dataset exports. Generic speech and translation APIs often struggle with regional dialects, medication names, dosages, negations, overlapping speakers, and the messy structure of real medical conversations. This pipeline gives the client a controlled way to evaluate and improve specialized models without allowing unverified AI output to become training truth. The same infrastructure can support Spanish, Vietnamese, Farsi, Urdu, and other high-need languages. The deployment roadmap includes model right-sizing, distillation, and quantization to reduce latency and operating cost across clinic locations. • AI property intelligence and geospatial reasoning Determining what can legally be built on a property is normally a fragmented expert-research process. It requires finding the correct municipal regulations, interpreting ambiguous zoning language, identifying the right parcel and district, understanding road frontage and neighboring conditions, and applying those rules to real geometry. For Plan AI, I built and productionized a property-intelligence engine that performs this work across municipal code, parcel geometry, road networks, building footprints, neighboring lots, FEMA flood data, and permit data. The system converts those sources into setbacks, buildable envelopes, risk signals, maps, and the evidence supporting each conclusion. Because an authoritative-sounding AI answer is not enough, I also built the anti-hallucination and geospatial evaluation layers. They reject invented ordinance language, unsupported calculations, unjustified assumptions, incorrect parcel or building matches, invalid envelopes, and contradictions between the model’s explanation and its result. The result is one evidence-backed workflow for understanding what constrains a property and what can potentially be built—while keeping uncertain cases visible for expert review. SELECTED EXPERIENCE • Led the development of an AI underwriting platform for a publicly traded lender with approximately $40M+ in annual revenue. It automated most application decisions while routing the hardest 10–15% to expert underwriters. • Designed and shipped a production payroll platform for Finally, a $100M Series B company, in approximately six weeks. • Helped build and stabilize Refine.ink, an AI peer-review platform used by faculty at leading U.S. universities. • Built SMART on FHIR and HL7 ADT healthcare integrations, voice-driven legal-intake systems, and computer-vision pipelines for identifying industrial weld defects only a few pixels wide. HOW I WORK I begin with the workflow, the people using it, the cost of failure, and the evidence the system must produce—not with a predetermined model or vendor. I can own the complete path from discovery through production, or embed with an existing team to resolve the critical architecture, integration, evaluation, and adoption challenges. As one Upwork client put it: “Got a week’s worth of work done in less than an hour due to Jonathan’s expertise. Would work with him again, no question.”

When I work on a project, I am continually looking at it with the contractor's and architect's view in mind so it ultimately leads to a smooth and refined project that reduces costs and errors. I place a lot of value on constant and clear communication, so I create a list of questions with imagery for clarification and review with the team.
