## About

```text
As a freelance AI Engineer & Automation Developer, I build complete AI systems, from agents over private data and RAG pipelines to MCP tooling and deployment. My production projects include Ayuti, which answers questions across a user's YouTube library with citations, and Mersail, which evaluates and safeguards personalized Shopify campaigns before they send.

I also built NegativeIQ, which uses a scored pipeline and layered safety checks to exclude wasted Google Ads search terms, and Shipward, an open-source MCP server that requires a project's real test command to pass before a task counts as done. On Catch, I traced invented grocery-list items to prompt structure and built a benchmark that passed all 49 cases.

Before this freelance work, I led data teams and built validation and reconciliation systems for clinical research at Alira Health, Premier Research, and the Oncology Institute of Romagna (IRST). I authored company-wide AI implementation SOPs and bring that experience in regulated data systems to AI products designed to be evaluated, auditable, and safe around client data.
