What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and lead production AI products, taking ambitious ideas from 0 to 1 while solving meaningful enterprise problems with a strong remote team.

I've built production AI and full-stack platforms for Kapisci, GOGOGUEST, Mentium, and enterprise clients including Pfizer. At Kapisci, I designed and built the platform end to end, helping close approximately $100K in AI-driven commercial analysis work.

At GOGOGUEST, I cut content production time by 80% for 150+ enterprise clients by bringing generative AI into the marketing platform. I work across Python, LLMs, RAG, agents, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, and cloud infrastructure, and I enjoy taking products from the first founder call through production.
