Production LLM engineering on a US automotive marketing agency's AI assistant and reporting product for its dealer clients.
Model upgrades gated by offline paired evaluation, with the pass rule fixed before the runs.
Work on the tool-using agent loop, per-model request settings, tracing and answer quality.

Built EditWise, a multi-tenant SaaS for video and creative agencies, in production with paying customers: review and approval, revision rounds, projects, time tracking, invoicing, client portals and an AI assistant over live data.

Rebuilt it as v1.1 with an AI pipeline I designed: spec as data, expert skills carrying my architecture rules, a check after every generation stage.

Completed 15+ e-commerce and full-stack builds, from landing pages to multi-vendor marketplaces, with payment, shipping, and inventory integrations.

Owned CI/CD pipeline design and Bicep infrastructure as code for the environment provisioning path on a TypeScript and Azure codebase. Replaced stored secrets with OIDC federation, Managed Identity, and Service Principals, and built AI agents for environment template conversion and compliance checks.

Led the replacement of a hard-coded encoder integration with a multi-provider adapter, designing a modular monolith on Domain-Driven Design and RabbitMQ. Implemented real-time sync of live polls, Q&A, and subtitles across concurrent sessions.

Led the AI integration design end to end for the QMF rebuild over a Fortune 500 economic-data database, directing the implementation partner. Designed agents inside the client's firewall and metadata tables to enable AI-generated custom reports.

Led six developers owning setup-node, setup-dotnet, setup-python, setup-go, setup-java, node-versions, and python-versions. Ran code review, planning, technical interviews, and issue triage against community SLAs, working daily with GitHub staff.

Performed frontend-heavy fintech work for a major asset manager, including DevOps tasks and a Node.js project.

Sole developer, later with one junior, on a cognitive-testing e-commerce product in .NET and JavaScript.

Tech lead on a greenfield ASP.NET Zero platform for global software-licence distribution, including pricing, inventory, orders, and multi-channel sales on Azure microservices with REST APIs, OAuth, RBAC, and reporting dashboards.

Promoted within months to lead five developers on Kaiser Permanente's real-time ER intake and patient-routing platform, including live updates over WebSockets, routing schema, and a WebForms to ASP.NET Core migration.

Worked on a cloud hosting platform in ASP.NET MVC, domain purchasing, and a custom e-commerce build for a Dutch client.

Worked with LabVIEW, robotic eddy-current mappers, and electrical device design.
