AI application developer at CodeSages LLC who launched PocketWiseAI and AI SmartSwaps, two production SaaS products with generative AI.

Message

At CodeSages LLC, I founded a software consulting business and independently took two AI-powered SaaS products from concept through production deployment. PocketWiseAI reached 1,500+ waitlist signups with zero ad spend.

I built PocketWiseAI’s personal finance features around Anthropic Claude, including transaction categorization, debt strategies, financial forecasting, and what-if modeling. Redis caching, context truncation, and BullMQ batch processing helped bring AI API costs to $0.06 per user per month.

For AI SmartSwaps, I developed a nutrition and coaching platform with Claude Vision food scanning and agentic coaching suggestions. I also built its AI service layer with prompt guardrails, structured response parsing, and Zod validation, then deployed the cross-platform app using Capacitor.

At Metas Solutions, I support modernization of federal public-health information systems through T-SQL development, SSIS/DTSX dependency analysis, C#/ASP.NET application support, and controlled deployment. I also built a portable C# T-SQL Extractor Utility that parses DTSX files and extracts referenced SQL object definitions into AI-ready output.
