~$ whoami
AI automation engineer who ships production apps — real routing, RAG, and full-stack builds.
I’ve shipped 17 live production sites solo since this spring — real auth, admin dashboards, Stripe payments, and AI assistants. Building alone taught me to ship fast and own the whole stack. Now I want what solo work can’t teach: code review, mentorship, and a team whose conventions I get to learn. Open to remote full-time roles (U.S.) — available now.

02 / story
How I build
This spring I left RIT to build full-time. Since then I’ve shipped 17 live production sites solo and built the automation layer underneath them — a multi-model AI router with automatic failover, a RAG pipeline with an LLM reranker, chat assistants on ten directory sites, and an autonomous SEO/indexing engine.
I own the full loop: scope the work, design the UI, write the code, integrate APIs and AI, deploy on Vercel, and iterate. Behind it are CS fundamentals from Orange Coast College (4.0 GPA) — data structures, discrete math, and Python/Java/C++/C#. Building alone taught me to ship; the next thing I want to learn is how a real team works.

Building in the open
I build and ship constantly. Most production work lives in private repos — the public side (this portfolio, experiments, and tooling) is on GitHub, and I’m happy to walk through any private repo on request.

The hero fade that broke LCP (and how I actually diagnosed it)
A fade-in entrance kept the hero from ever being the early LCP candidate, so the metric latched onto a font-swap repaint at ~3.3s. The diagnosis method, the fix, the rule it became — and the measurement that still doesn’t add up.

Want an automation engineer who already ships?
I'm looking for a remote full-time AI automation or full-stack role. You get someone who has already shipped production auth, payments, multi-model AI routing, and automation pipelines solo — and who's genuinely hungry for code review and a team to learn from. Résumé and GitHub are one click away; I reply within a day.
