Consulting & AI Engineering SupportPermalink

I help teams move fast with applied machine learning and AI systems.

Whether you’re a startup building your first AI product, a research lab developing ML infrastructure, or a business looking to automate workflows with LLMs—I bring the engineering experience and systems thinking to make it happen.

What I OfferPermalink

• LLM Applications & AI Agents
  I build custom GPT-style agents, retrieval pipelines, and task automation tools tailored to your workflows.

• AI Strategy & Prototyping
  I work with teams to scope high-leverage use cases, rapidly prototype new features, or audit existing AI systems.

• Recommendation & Ranking Systems
  I help teams develop models to personalize feeds, rank leads, and prioritize actions using behavior or business data.

• ML Infrastructure & Pipelines
  From ingestion to inference, I design, optimize, and productionize end-to-end ML systems.

Who I’ve HelpedPermalink

• Small businesses automating sales and marketing and admin workflows through AI agents. Projects include:
  • A lead qualification AI agent that filters and triages inbound leads in real time—reducing response time to under 10 minutes and routing with over 90% accuracy.

  • An social content AI generator that drafts Facebook, Instagram, and email blasts for local businesses..
• SaaS and consumer applications looking for how to power their products with AI. One example includes integrating cutting-edge voice and video AI models to create custom AI avatars.
• Product and engineering teams integrating LLMs into internal tools and customer-facing platforms.
• Academic labs researching online behavior, political expression, and social media influence.
• Civic and policy-focused organizations applying AI to large-scale behavioral and demographic data using LLMs and predictive models.

How I WorkPermalink

Most projects start with a 1-week scoped sprint focused on a clearly defined goal.
At the end of the sprint, you’ll walk away with a working prototype, demo, or system component you can evaluate and build on. From there, we can continue into a longer-term engagement or handoff—whatever fits your needs.

If you’re exploring how to apply AI or LLMs in your product, research, or workflow, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

Most projects start with a short 1-week sprint focused on prototyping or evaluating a clear goal. You’ll walk away with a working demo, a real system component, or a strategic recommendation to move forward.
