I build AI agents and LLM-powered products that do real work - not demos that stop at a chat window.
My strongest work sits where Agentic AI, full-stack JavaScript, React Native, and cloud architecture meet. I connect models to business data and APIs, build web/mobile products, and take them into production. I give agents the context, tools, permissions, failure handling, and human approval paths needed to act safely.
AI SYSTEMS I HAVE HELPED SHIP
RAVEN HEALTH - AI AGENTS FOR CLINICAL AND REVENUE-CYCLE WORK
Clinicians were losing hours to documentation, intake, claim checks, and billing follow-up. I contributed to AI agents that read clinical documents and session data, draft notes for BCBA review, detect claim gaps before denials, and carry revenue-cycle work through validation and tracking. Sensitive actions return to a person for approval.
The agents run inside a 300+ clinic platform. I also built Node.js/TypeScript APIs, Python LLM and OCR services, analytics, and offline sync across React Native and React Native Web. Technicians can record sessions without Wi-Fi and reconcile on reconnect. Raven Health reports eight hours saved per clinician weekly, a 98%+ collection rate, and denials below 1%.
ETISALAT - CONTEXT-AWARE SUPPORT AGENTS FOR 8M+ USERS
Routine account, billing, plan, and troubleshooting requests were consuming support time across disconnected systems. I added AI customer-service agents that use live context to answer questions, classify requests, complete repeatable back-office steps, update customers, and route exceptions to staff.
I had already built the complete platform single-handedly: its responsive React website, React Native iOS/Android apps, reusable design system, complex navigation and state, back-end workflows, payments, and telecom API integrations. It now serves more than eight million users, with automation reducing manual support work while people retain control of sensitive cases.
VRBO - LLM AUTOMATION ACROSS TRAVEL OPERATIONS
Property teams were working across disconnected bookings, documents, guest communication, and reporting. I contributed to LLM-powered document processing, OCR, customer care, and predictive analytics that turned scattered information into faster, more accurate workflows.
The AI work was integrated into React and React Native experiences backed by Node.js and AWS, with Java/Kotlin mobile components, SharePoint, and Power BI. The interfaces brought bookings, guest engagement, documents, and operational insight into one product.
QR8ED.AI - RAG, MULTI-MODEL ORCHESTRATION, AND VOICE LEARNING
Educational videos were abundant, but learners still had to search, judge, and order them alone. As senior full-stack developer and solution architect, I contributed to the AI system that turns a topic and goal into sequenced lessons, quizzes, notes, summaries, and progress tracking.
LangChain orchestrates LLM integration across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other providers. Pinecone powers vector search and semantic retrieval for RAG. Whisper and ElevenLabs create voice-enabled lessons. I connected those pipelines to a responsive Next.js/TypeScript product with Convex, Firebase, Stripe, and a built-in LMS.
WHAT I CAN OWN FOR YOU
- Need AI Agents to take action safely? I design Agentic AI with tool use, orchestration, structured outputs, permissions, context, human approval, evaluation, monitoring, and failure recovery.
- Need an LLM to work with your data? I build RAG and LLM Integration with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, Pinecone, vector search, OCR, document processing, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech.
- Have an AI prototype but no usable product? I build full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript with React, Next.js, Node.js, REST APIs, GraphQL, authentication, real-time systems, integrations, and multi-tenant SaaS.
- Need the product on mobile? I deliver React Native iOS/Android apps, React Native Web, offline-first sync, complex state and navigation, native integrations, and production releases.
- Need infrastructure that can carry production load? I design AWS serverless and event-driven systems with Lambda, API Gateway, S3, SQS, DynamoDB, CloudFront, IAM, monitoring, and CI/CD.
I am an AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional with 14 years in production software and experience leading engineering teams of up to ten. My work spans healthcare SaaS, telecom, travel and property operations, edtech and LMS products, fintech, e-commerce, and enterprise systems.
I am at my best when an ambitious AI idea has to become a product people can trust and enjoy using. If you are building that - or rescuing a stalled prototype - send the architecture, user workflow, and failure point. I will tell you where I would start.

I'm an independent public relations practitioner, former investigative journalist, and principal of Barry Media Consulting. My career has been built around a passion for mass communications in public affairs: journalism, strategic communications, and helping organizations communicate with clarity, credibility, purpose, and a heavy attention and commitment to detail quality.
Over the past decade, I've worked within and alongside both sides of the media landscape. As a journalist, I covered state and local government, business and economic development, investigated public officials, interviewed national figures, and reported on stories that drew statewide and national attention. Those experiences taught me the importance of thorough research, rigorous fact-checking, asking tough questions, and understanding what makes a story genuinely newsworthy.
Today, I help clients navigate complex communications challenges through media relations and earned media strategy, thought leadership, executive communications, stakeholder engagement, and strategic messaging. I bring a reporter's mindset to every project, combining curiosity, accuracy, and sound editorial judgment with a practical understanding of how organizations and leaders need to communicate in today's environment.
Throughout my career, I've worked with government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, elected officials, and industry leaders, helping them tell their stories in ways that resonate with both the media and the audiences they serve. Whether I'm developing a media strategy, preparing a spokesperson for an interview, ghostwriting an op-ed, or conducting in-depth research, my goal is always the same: to help clients build trust, strengthen their reputation, and achieve meaningful results.
My work has been recognized with multiple honors from the Public Relations Society of America, and I continue to be driven by a simple belief: good communications starts with facts, credibility, and a genuine commitment to serving the public interest.

How to write an effective journalism job post
