While most developers build simple AI wrappers, my work focuses on architecting secure, compliant, and production-ready systems for sectors where failure is not an option.
The vision is to move AI beyond the demo phase and into the core of enterprise infrastructure. In industries like Fintech and Healthcare, AI must be backed by institutional-grade security, HIPAA compliance, and a foundation built for scale.
The Value of Senior Architectural Judgment
โข Regulated Industry Precision: Extensive experience with institutions like First Horizon Bank and Evolve Bank & Trust ensures that security and compliance are part of the initial architecture, not an afterthought.
โข Production-Grade AI: Specialized in RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and multi-agent workflows that prioritize accuracy, data sovereignty, and seamless integration with existing business tools.
โข Complete System Ownership: Delivering high-performance backends, secure API middleware, and responsive frontends designed for long-term maintainability.
โข Strategic Execution: Clients work with a technical partner who eliminates technical debt and builds for the long-term roadmap.
Core Solutions Provided
โข Enterprise AI Agents: Autonomous systems designed to automate complex operations and professional workflows.
โข Secure RAG Systems: Private retrieval architectures that allow organizations to talk to their data without compromising security.
โข Fintech & Medical Middleware: High-throughput API interfaces bridging legacy systems with modern AI-driven cloud applications.
โข Full-Scale SaaS Platforms: End-to-end web applications designed to handle high concurrency and sensitive data.
โข System Modernization: Migrating legacy infrastructure into modern, cloud-native environments optimized for automation.
Technical Stack
โข AI & Intelligent Systems: RAG, AI Agents, LLM, LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI, Vector Databases, Semantic Search, n8n, Workflow Automation, Anthropic, Claude, MCP, Prompt Engineering.
โข Backend Engineering: .NET, .NET Core, C#, Python, Node.js, WebAPI, SignalR, Microservices, Serverless Architecture.
โข Frontend Engineering: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Angular, Blazor
โข Data & Infrastructure: SQL Server, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Kubernetes, Azure DevOps, AWS, Docker, CI/CD.
โข Compliance & Risk: HIPAA-Compliant Architectures (PHI encryption, audit logging, BAA workflows), PCI-DSS, SOC 2, Fintech API Protocols (Plaid, Stripe, ACH), Disaster Recovery & High Availability.
Success in the current market requires an engineer who can visualize the entire system before the first line of code is written. When the build mattersโwhen it involves financial assets or medical records - architectural integrity is the only way forward.

Most AI integrations look great in demos and fall apart three weeks into production. The context windows bloat, the agents loop, the RAG pipeline hallucinates, and no one knows why. I build the architecture that prevents that; proper chunking strategies, grounded retrieval, fallback handling, and deployment that holds under real usage.
If your LLM is hallucinating outside its knowledge base, your RAG retrieval is returning wrong chunks, or your AI workflow is breaking between n8n nodes and your backend, that's the kind of problem I'm called in to fix. And build the right way from scratch when there's time to do it properly.
โฆ What I build:
ยป RAG systems & LLM integrations: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini APIs; LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector search with Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate.
ยป AI agents & multi-agent workflows: tool-calling, memory, orchestration, real task execution.
ยป Workflow automation: n8n, Make, Zapier, Pipedream; event-triggered pipelines that run without supervision.
ยป Full-stack web apps: Laravel, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python; from MVP to multi-tenant SaaS.
ยป AI-powered internal tools: knowledge bases, ops assistants, document processors, compliance systems.
โฆ Recent work I've shipped:
ยป Built a multi-agent AI platform (React + Laravel + Python) with OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude integration, RAG pipeline, and role-based agent orchestration. The system handles real business workflows, not just chat demos.
ยป Implemented AI fraud detection, automated product description generation, meta-ad analysis, and image creation pipelines using OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude for a large US-based e-commerce platform.
ยป Built an AI ops assistant for a 30-year-old insurance consultancy, RAG-based chat grounded in approved SOPs, auto-generated agency-specific compliance guidelines from survey data, versioned document management. Audit handling time dropped by 45%, training ramp-up cut by roughly half.
ยป Built an automated email management workflow using n8n, incoming emails classified by type, routed to AI reply generators with tone-specific prompts, logged to Airtable, and Slack-notified. Resulting in zero manual triage.
ยป Built patient intake and therapy adherence systems for (NASDAQ: AHCO), HIPAA-compliant, Brightree-integrated, handling millions of patients across 40+ US states. Intake processing time reduced by 70%.
ยป Built a hybrid care outpatient treatment platform for a NASDAQ-listed healthcare clinic, virtual + in-person care, symptom tracking, AI chatbot, HIPAA/HITRUST/SOC2/CURES compliant.
โฆ Stack:
ยป AI/ML: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, LlamaIndex, RAG, embeddings, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, n8n, Make.
ยป Backend: Laravel, Node.js, Python, RESTful + GraphQL APIs, background jobs, multi-auth.
ยป Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue, component-driven UI, real-time dashboards.
ยป Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Supabase, Vector DBs (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS).
ยป Cloud & DevOps: AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions CI/CD.
ยป Healthcare: HIPAA, Brightree, Redox, Auth0, Twilio, HITRUST.
I work best on projects that have real moving parts, systems that need to be reliable, not just impressive in a demo. If you're building something production-grade and need someone who handles both the AI and the engineering behind it, let's talk.

I am a Shopify expert located in Loveland OH. My expertise ranges from molding themes into the perfect well-tested responsive and lightweight design to modifying functionality, cart and checkout process and more. Shopify represents about 95% of my current workload and there is almost nothing I can't tackle. Customer service is paramount. You will not be satisfied, you will be delighted.
If you're having Shopify speed issues, bot attacks, or if your site needs to be brought into ADA compliance, I can help.
Migrating from WordPress to Shopify? Let's talk. It can be smoother than you think but there is a lot of groundwork to lay.
I am available from approximately 4 am to 4 pm M-S via text, phone, email, Upwork and any number of other messaging platforms. I look forward to working with you.

20+ years building production systems at The New York Times, Netflix, YouTube, and Warner Bros. Now I do the same for smaller companies: define what you actually need, make the technical calls, and build it.
Bring me an unfinished app, a system that needs work, or a business process you want automated. I own it from product definition through delivery, with AI only where it earns its place.
Typical starting points:
- Build a feature or integration around an existing business process
- Diagnose a stalled application and define the next step
- Fix or improve a specific website or ecommerce flow
Unclear scope: start with a paid review and a written plan. Defined change: agree on a milestone and acceptance criteria. Either way you get a first deliverable you can evaluate before committing further.
Send me the problem, what you have, and what a successful result lets you do.

Most WordPress sites and automation systems I'm brought in to fix aren't broken. They're half-built. The plugin is there but nothing is connected. The workflow runs but nothing is logged. The data exists but nobody can act on it.
I build the rest.
My work covers full-stack WordPress development including custom plugins, CSV importers, state and city directory systems, and Elementor-compatible shortcode architectures. On the backend I build FastAPI services, PostgreSQL pipelines, Playwright scrapers, and n8n automation workflows that move data and trigger real business actions without manual intervention.
Real projects: LegalSage attorney directory (129,685 records, programmatic SEO, FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend). Enviro Logistics platform (2.17M+ carrier records, automated EPA data enrichment, outreach pipeline). npicheck.app (9.6M provider records, Next.js frontend, Stripe-gated compliance checks). HW Attorney Directory (custom WordPress plugin, CSV import, city/state navigation, PayPal integration, v7.5.1 production).
The AI and automation layer is where I spend most of my time now. n8n workflows, Claude API integration, Retell AI voice agents, Playwright-based data pipelines, and lead processing systems that replace hours of manual work per day.
Every build ships with documentation and a Loom walkthrough. I use BookStack as an internal ops wiki so nothing lives only in my head or in a chat thread.
Message me with your stack and what's not working. I'll tell you what I'd fix first.
