Howdy! I am an artist with over 10 years of experience and a passion
for creativity, storytelling, and leadership. Over the years I've had
the pleasure of diving deep into art direction, illustration, concept
art, character design, background design, avatar design, creature
design, ui, graphic design, 3D modeling, animation, and more. This
has led me to have a wide set of skills and expertise to allow me to
direct various teams as well as be the voice to help bridge the gap
between artists, designers, developers, and other stakeholders.
I am a passionate artist who loves collaborating with other
passionate individuals.

Need a senior architect who can build it, scale it, and make it beautiful, with AI woven through the whole thing instead of bolted on the side? That's what I do. I'm a principal full-stack architect and polyglot engineer, 15+ years taking products from idea to production across fintech, health-tech, cybersecurity, blockchain, defense, and AI.
💡 Work clients know me for:
- A $500M real-time fintech trading platform (web + mobile)
- A $100M real estate CRM built from scratch; the firm was acquired by Cushman & Wakefield
- Solana indexing infrastructure handling $1–3T in daily transaction volume
- A live algorithmic quant trading platform running real money on a tier-1 broker
- Federated-learning threat detection for an AI cybersecurity platform
- Solo-replaced a 10-developer offshore team on a national assistive-communication app
🤖 AI / LLM, where much of my recent work lives:
- Production LLM systems with structured outputs, guardrails, and audit logging in regulated fintech
- Multi-model pipelines (Claude, Whisper, Gemini, OpenAI, ElevenLabs) chosen deliberately for cost, latency, and accuracy
- MCP and agentic tooling, with official Anthropic certifications behind it
- A production AI agent and grounded voice-and-chat assistant on frontier models (Gemini, Claude, GPT), with real tool-calling into live equipment data, RAG over the actual manuals, a scorer, and an adversarial grounding eval harness that gates every deploy so it cannot hallucinate to users
- Architecting specialized-model training on proprietary field data: fine-tuning small open models (Llama/Qwen) for domain tasks like fault diagnosis and failure prediction, with labeled eval sets and an eval-gated deploy pipeline
- The discipline that keeps AI output reliable and affordable in production, not just impressive in a demo
🛠 Stack:
- Full-stack: TypeScript/React/Next.js, Node/Deno, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby/Rails, PHP/Laravel
- Mobile: Flutter, React Native, Swift, Kotlin
- APIs & data: GraphQL, REST, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
- Cloud & infra: AWS, GCP, Supabase, Docker/K8s, CI/CD
- AI: Claude, Gemini, GPT, MCP, multi-model orchestration
- Security: PCI DSS remediation, federated learning, RLS/RBAC, signed webhooks
🎯 Clients hire me when:
- They're launching something ambitious and want it architected right the first time
- Their legacy codebase is a mess and they need someone who can inherit it and stabilize it fast
- They want AI built into the product correctly, by someone who's shipped it in production
- They want someone who thinks like an engineer, a strategist, and a founder
I also direct and design large-scale sculptures and immersive environments. Fluent in product vision, UX/UI, and creative direction, with experience in Rhino3D, Unity, CAD, TouchDesigner, and Adobe. Request my design portfolio directly if you're curious.
📩 Message me and tell me what you're building. I'll tell you how I'd make it better.

A bit about my journey as a person:
Coming from architecture and real estate private equity, I've gained a unique perspective on business transformation. My architectural background taught me frontline challenges, while private equity showed me the bird's-eye view of business operations.
Beyond automation, I'm passionate about mindful business growth. Meditation has been key in helping me identify what truly matters - both in systems and life. It's taught me that efficiency isn't just about working harder, but about focusing on the right problems.
My goal isn't just to implement tech solutions, but to be a strategic partner who understands your business from multiple angles. Let's solve real challenges with a clear, focused approach that drives meaningful results.
