Selected Work
Five deliveries, each written the same way: what the customer was actually trying to do, what was unclear, what I decided, what I built with my own hands, and how it reached production.
Case 01
Building against a system we did not own
A multi-role booking and ordering platform went live against an enterprise client's legacy ERP, with the API contract negotiated directly with the client's own engineers and every scope change signed off before it reached engineering.
Case 02
Taking the typing out of a document workflow that could not go offline
A hybrid OCR and LLM pipeline substantially reduced the manual data entry in a high-volume shipping-document workflow, inside an operation whose source systems had no API and could not be replaced.
Case 03
Serving an AI assistant's traffic without holding a connection open
Re-architected an AI customer-support assistant's request path so that a conversation is queued and polled rather than held open on a synchronous connection — delivered and merged.
Case 04
Three AI proposals, and the two I advised against
Three AI feasibility engagements in three unrelated domains, each turned into a solution design with a costed build estimate: two were correctly declined on capital cost, and the third was built.
Case 05
The engineering floor: billions of impressions, and a marketplace that ran itself
Eleven years across two stints at the same AdTech company: four as the sole front-end engineer on a platform conversion, then a self-serve advertising marketplace built end to end, then backend services carrying tens of thousands of requests a second.

The hollow mark on case 3’s outcome column is deliberate and correct — there is no publishable result for that work, and this page says so rather than filling the gap.
