I’m looking for projects I can care about as much as you do. I love helping teams take complicated systems and make them cleaner, faster, and easier to scale. My background includes breaking apart monoliths, designing microservice and event-driven architectures, building full-stack SaaS platforms, and deploying production workloads with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, and Pulumi. I also work with AI-powered systems, including RAG, AI agents, predictive analytics, and automation. I can jump in as an architect, senior full-stack engineer, cloud/Kubernetes consultant, or seasonal development partner.

🚀 Ex-Meta / Yahoo | AI Full-Stack Engineer | GenAI, LLM, SaaS, APIs I build end-to-end AI products — from LLM-powered features to scalable full-stack systems. With 10+ years at Meta, Yahoo, and startups, I’ve shipped production systems used by millions and designed platforms that scale reliably. I focus on delivering real, usable AI applications — not just demos. ✅ What I Can Help You Build: • GenAI Applications: GPT / Claude integrations, AI copilots, workflows, prompt engineering • RAG Systems: chat over documents, knowledge bases, retrieval pipelines • Full-Stack AI Apps: frontend + backend + APIs + AI integration • AI Agents: tool-using agents, automation workflows • Backend Systems: scalable APIs, microservices, cloud architecture • AI SaaS: MVP → production-ready systems 💼 Experience Highlights: • Meta — built large-scale production systems • Yahoo — personalization systems serving billions of requests/day • Indeed / Workday — scalable backend and cloud platforms • Tech Lead — owned architecture and built systems end-to-end • Real-time systems processing TBs/day (Kafka, distributed systems) 📊 What You Get: • End-to-end builder (AI + full-stack + product) • Production-ready systems, not fragile prototypes • Scalable architecture from day one • Fast execution and clear communication 🔧 Tech Stack: AI: GPT-4/5, Claude, RAG, AI agents, prompt engineering Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript Backend: Python (FastAPI, Flask), Node.js, Java, Scala, APIs, microservices Cloud: AWS (S3, Lambda), serverless architecture Infra: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD Data: Spark, Kafka Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis 🎯 Typical Projects: • AI chatbot / copilot • RAG over internal/company data • AI SaaS MVP • Full-stack GenAI applications • Workflow automation with LLMs Keywords: Generative AI, GenAI, LLM, GPT-4, GPT-5, Claude, OpenAI API, Anthropic Claude, RAG, Retrieval Augmented Generation, AI Agents, Prompt Engineering, AI Automation, Chatbots, Copilots, Python, FastAPI, Flask, Full-Stack Development, Frontend Development, Backend Development, React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, API Design, REST APIs, GraphQL, Microservices Architecture, SaaS Development, Multi-Tenant Systems, Authentication, OAuth, JWT, Cloud Architecture, AWS, Serverless, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Distributed Systems, System Design, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Machine Learning, MLOps, Data Engineering, Apache Spark, Kafka Industries: AI Platforms, SaaS, Enterprise Software, AdTech, MarTech, E-commerce, Marketplaces, FinTech, Payments, Healthcare, HealthTech, Developer Tools, Productivity Tools, Analytics Platforms, Data Platforms, Media, Social Platforms

I'm a Cloud and AI Architect with 15+ years of enterprise experience, including 4 years at Microsoft on the Azure team where I consulted F500 companies like AT&T, Walmart, and Mastercard on AI, cloud adoption, security, and infrastructure at scale. I founded TechVora, a small in-office engineering team based in Houston, TX. We work mainly with clients where security, compliance, and uptime are non-negotiable. All engineers work in-house, we never sub out work, which matters when sensitive data is involved. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT I act as the architect on every engagement and don't bill for my time. You get senior-level architecture, design, and oversight built into the cost of your developer. AI & PRODUCTION SYSTEMS Over the last two years we've shifted heavily into production AI - we've shipped four enterprise-grade multi-tenant AI applications across legal, accounting, oil & gas, and media, all involving custom LLM pipelines, RAG, and agents handling real sensitive data at scale. CORE COMPETENCIES - Cloud Architecture & Migration (Azure, AWS, GCP) - AI/LLM Integration — RAG, Agents, Multi-tenant Production Apps - DevSecOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep) - Data Pipelines, Warehousing & ETL - HIPAA-Compliant Architecture - Monitoring, Observability & Incident Response - M365, Azure Security & Compliance Happy to jump on a quick call - I offer a free strategy session for any new engagement.

I build AI-powered applications that ship to production and survive contact with real users. 𝟏𝟔 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 of full-stack engineering, now focused on AI agents, RAG, and LLM integrations. I work on a .NET, React, and Angular foundation, which means I can also handle the parts that aren't glamorous: auth, deployment, databases, and a UI that doesn't make users cry. WHAT I BUILD ▸ AI Agents. Multi-step, tool-using agents that actually finish what you start them on. ▸ RAG Applications. Chat-with-your-docs, internal knowledge assistants, semantic search over private data. ▸ LLM Integrations. Adding GPT, Claude, Gemini, or open models into existing apps without breaking the rest of the codebase. ▸ Full-stack web apps. Angular or React on the front, .NET on the back, cloud-native on Azure or AWS. ▸ Legacy modernization. Moving 15-to-20-year-old codebases into the present. I've done this three times, including a beloved baseball simulator with millions of simulated games. STACK I WORK IN Backend: .NET 8, C#, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, Python, Go, Java Frontend: React, Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, Storybook, design systems AI: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, LangChain, vector databases, RAG pipelines, agent frameworks Data: SQL Server, Redis, MongoDB Cloud: Azure (Web Apps, Functions, SQL, Storage), AWS (Lambda, EKS), Terraform, Kubernetes Auth: JWT, OAuth, Auth0, ASP.NET Core Identity RECENT RESULTS ✓ Built and shipped a Google Gemini-powered AI system for automated outbound patient communications inside a physical therapy EMR platform, deployed across a network of rehabilitation hospitals and university health systems. ✓ Rebuilt a 20-year-old baseball simulation app (millions of simulated games, loyal user base) from classic ASP to .NET 8 and Angular on Azure. Improved 90-day user retention by over 10% and unlocked a new design system for the product team. ✓ Architected and shipped a multi-tenant SaaS platform for the event registration industry, migrating from on-prem data centers to Azure PaaS. Grew revenue 10% through direct client work and cut IT infrastructure spend by 40%. ✓ Led cloud architecture for a national crop insurance carrier across AWS and Azure. Set up Terraform-managed infrastructure, mentored a team of dev leads, and shipped a Figma-to-production design system bridging design, product, and engineering. WHAT A RECENT CLIENT SAID "I hired Adam specifically because of his wide variety of experience and his profound level of skill. Over 18 months he proved himself to be an active and helpful member of the team. His versatility and engagement was crucial to our growth. I would enthusiastically recommend him." — Jason, BaseHit HOW I WORK I show up, I listen, I write code that holds up under load. I'm comfortable being the senior voice in the room or the quiet pair of hands, whichever the project actually needs. I won't pretend to know something I don't, and I won't talk you into AI when a SQL query would do the job. If you're building something AI-powered and want someone who can also handle the unglamorous parts (the auth, the deployment, the schema, the UI that doesn't make users cry), let's talk.
