## About

```text
At AI Collaborator, I work across Next.js, React, and TypeScript front ends and Node.js, Express, Django, and FastAPI services. I take features through the platform end to end, including deployment.

I also work on the platform’s AWS and GCP infrastructure, including authentication and content delivery. I integrate LLM APIs, embeddings, and retrieval into customer-facing products so people can act on model output.

At Tyndall National Institute, I built machine-learning models to detect faults in photovoltaic systems using plant sensor data. I also developed the group’s monitoring application, with seven live measurement views, and automated its data-processing and model-deployment workflow.

At LexingtonTechLLC, I built and maintained headless-CMS eCommerce applications, using GraphQL to fetch the data each page needed. I also developed microservices and third-party API integrations, and took MVPs from specification to launch.
