AI Solutions Architect | Full-Stack Development, Agents & Automation

I build software that solves real business problems, whether that's a complete SaaS platform, an AI-powered application, a customer support assistant, or an automation connecting several systems. I'm a full-stack engineer and AI Solutions Architect with 15+ years of experience. I've worked across web applications, backend systems, APIs, business platforms, and AI integrations, helping turn requirements into working products. Some clients need an application built from scratch. Others already have a system that's slow, difficult to maintain, or disconnected from their other tools. I can help with both. → What I Can Help You Build 1. AI Agents & Intelligent Applications Custom AI agents, multi-agent workflows, RAG systems, knowledge assistants, document processing, and AI-powered applications using OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LangGraph, LangChain, and Python. 2. Full-Stack Web & SaaS Development Web applications, SaaS platforms, dashboards, customer portals, admin panels, and custom business software. My development stack includes React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, Laravel, Vue, REST APIs, and modern databases. 3. AI Voice & Conversational Systems AI voice assistants, intelligent chatbots, inbound lead qualification, appointment scheduling, customer support, and CRM-connected conversations. I've worked on a production voice AI system that handles incoming calls, books appointments, and automatically records customer information using Vapi, ElevenLabs, Google Calendar, and Airtable. 4. Workflow Automation & Integrations Business process automation, CRM integrations, API connections, webhooks, scheduled jobs, and multi-step workflows using n8n, Make, Zapier, and custom code. This includes connecting existing systems, eliminating repetitive tasks, improving data flow, and troubleshooting unreliable workflows. 5. Backend Systems & Technical Architecture Backend development, database design, third-party integrations, authentication, performance optimization, cloud deployment, and modernization of existing applications. → How I Work I don't believe every problem needs AI, and I don't push a particular technology when a simpler solution makes more sense. I start by understanding what the system needs to accomplish, review the existing setup, and recommend an approach that fits the business. I can handle the complete development process, from technical planning and architecture to implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. I also pay attention to the things that are easy to overlook: error handling, security, data consistency, API failures, monitoring, and maintainability. Have a project in mind? Whether you need an experienced full-stack developer, an AI solutions architect, or someone to take ownership of a complex technical project, send me a message. We can discuss the requirements and figure out the best way forward.
