What I'm looking for

A fully remote full-time role building AI-powered products end to end: AI agents, RAG, MCP, integrations, and the backend and frontend around them. I like owning features from the customer problem to production, working directly with customers, and small product-focused teams.

At Fastn, I built an AI chart-building agent that turns natural-language requests into charts over a large financial dataset. I grounded its results with retrieval and tuned pgvector search to reduce hallucinations and latency.

I’ve also developed customer-facing generative AI solutions, built MCP servers, and contributed to Fastn’s unified integration layer. My work includes backend services and APIs, production data-sync flows, and approximately 1,000 API integrations and connectors.

Outside that work, I built Daemora, a self-hosted autonomous AI agent, and Naughtify, a marketplace moderation API. I also created sluice, an inference engine that runs Mixture-of-Experts models larger than available RAM, and authored the foundational STDIO implementation of Fastn’s MCP server.
