Hire the Best Game Developers in Missouri

I'm an AI / ML engineer and senior backend developer with 20+ years of software engineering experience, currently Lead AI Engineer at Lexset, where I own AI capability delivery end-to-end — from architecture and model training through production deployment, monitoring, and customer-facing rollout. My day-to-day at Lexset is production agentic AI. I design and operate agentic AI pipelines where LLM-driven agents coordinate multi-step tool use, function calls, and compute workflows; integrate frontier LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, and others) into production services for content understanding, generation, and natural-language interfaces; build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems with embedding-backed retrieval for grounded responses over internal data; and deploy self-hosted LLM inference using vLLM for high-throughput, low-latency serving of open-weight models alongside the frontier API calls. I also apply vision-language models (VLMs) for image understanding, automated annotation, and dataset enrichment, and I train deep learning, computer vision, and reinforcement learning models in PyTorch. The MLOps that holds it all together — experiment tracking with MLflow, model versioning and registry, training-pipeline reproducibility, deployment to GPU clusters, and ongoing monitoring — I own end-to-end. Most recently I delivered an AI-powered Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) system through the U.S. Army's xTech Overwatch program on a defense prime contract. Underneath the AI work is 15+ years of high-availability backend development in Python (primary), Node.js, .NET, and Rust. I design REST and gRPC APIs, microservices, asynchronous job systems, and configuration-driven services; model relational and NoSQL data; and handle the auth and security primitives (JWT, OAuth, SSO, Auth0) that real production systems need. I'm fluent on Kubernetes (GKE), Docker, and cloud (GCP, AWS, CoreWeave, plus an active Microsoft Azure cert), and I treat observability, on-call ownership, and incident response as part of shipping, not extras. In parallel to the AI work I've spent 10+ years in robotics and autonomy, designing custom AI-driven quadcopter platforms from the airframe up. I integrate Intel RealSense depth, LIDAR, and optical-flow sensors with PX4, ArduPilot, and ROS, running NVIDIA Jetson for onboard perception and inference. The work I'm proudest of in that space is a throwable quadcopter I designed for the Miami-Dade Police Department to operate in GPS-denied environments during hostage-rescue operations — a platform where multi-sensor fusion, perception, and reliability had to be solved without satellite signal under real operational stakes. Before Lexset I spent five years at Fusion Constructive / Roam Systems building distributed military training and simulation systems — multi-agent AI behaviors for friendly and adversarial aircraft, an entire backend system synchronizing real-time aircraft position movements across AR, VR, and MR client domains, low-latency video streaming, Node.js microservices for distributed coordination, and a universal data layer unifying simulator data across DIS, HLA, and TENA protocols. Earlier I ran KC Tech, a Kansas City consultancy delivering enterprise REST APIs, SQL Server backends, and integration solutions for mid-size business clients. I also hold Microsoft certifications: MCSD: App Builder, MCSA: Web Applications, and passed exams in Developing Microsoft Azure and Web Services and Developing ASP.NET MVC Web Applications. I'm comfortable working at both ends of the company-size spectrum. I've been a founder and consultant, an enterprise senior engineer, and now a technical lead. I work well founder-direct without layers, and I work well inside larger orgs as the senior IC trusted to own a meaningful chunk of the platform. I take selected contracts where the work is interesting and the fit is right. What I bring to a team is a builder's mindset: ship pragmatic, working systems; pick the right tool for the problem; measure value; iterate. I'm honest about gaps when they exist — I don't claim what I haven't shipped — and I bring a track record of taking ambiguous requirements and turning them into production software that actually solves the problem. I hold an active Top Secret security clearance. If you're working on production AI systems, ML infrastructure, agentic pipelines, robotics, or modernization of established enterprise codebases — and you want someone who can own the work end-to-end — I'd be glad to talk.
