What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and deploy customer-facing software that solves complex operational problems, partnering closely with users from discovery through production support.

At Thoughtful AI, I built and deployed a prior-authorization automation bot for a major U.S. pediatric autism therapy provider, automating more than 80% of a high-volume insurance workflow.

I've delivered custom operational platforms for Apple, Kaiser Permanente, and 20+ consulting clients, including a multi-tenant SaaS product used by 500+ users. I work end-to-end, from customer discovery and architecture through production rollout and support.

I combine Python, FastAPI, React, AWS, RPA, and systems integration experience with a Chartered Accountant background, helping teams turn messy processes into practical, scalable software.
