Senior full-stack engineer · AI specialization

AI agents that hold up in production

Twelve years shipping web products, from client sites to LLM pipelines serving thousands of accounts. I join early teams as the senior engineer or CTO who owns the system end to end.

Choose your quest

Three ways to bring a senior engineer into your party.

Main quest

AI and LLM systems

Agents and LLM pipelines built to hold up under real traffic, not just in a demo repo.

Loadout

  • Agent and retrieval pipelines
  • Node.js, React and PostgreSQL
  • Queues, evals and monitoring

Party leader

Fractional CTO

Technical leadership for early AI teams: architecture, hiring and product direction tied to business goals.

  • Architecture and roadmap
  • Hiring and onboarding
  • Delivery process

Side quest

End-to-end ownership

Contract engagements where one senior engineer owns a complex system from repo to deploy.

  • Legacy modernization
  • Infrastructure and CI/CD
  • Shipping without pausing delivery
