Darren W.
AI Automation Developer | Python, FastAPI, LLMs, Bioinformatics
I build reliable AI automation systems in Python, including chatbots, multi-agent workflows, FastAPI APIs, PostgreSQL databases, Telegram and Gmail automations, browser integrations and human-review dashboards. I also bring PhD-level expertise in bioinformatics, genomics and scientific data analysis. My recent portfolio project, Agent Studio, is a local-first AI operations platform that I designed and built end to end. It combines deterministic decision policies, four specialised AI agents, structured model outputs, PostgreSQL-backed workflow queues, verified-evidence gates, Telegram commands, email-triggered automation and a Manifest V3 browser extension. I implemented the system’s architecture, backend, relational database, reversible migrations, background workers, authenticated APIs, browser extension, agent prompts, cost controls, security boundaries, testing and live validation. The portfolio release passed 250 automated tests, strict type checking, migration isolation and replay testing to prevent duplicate model calls or workflow actions. I can help with: • AI chatbots and customer-support assistants • Multi-agent and human-in-the-loop workflows • Python and FastAPI backend development • PostgreSQL database design and migrations • Telegram, Gmail and third-party API integrations • LLM structured outputs, validation and cost controls • Workflow automation, queues and scheduled reporting • Bioinformatics, genomics and RNA-seq analysis • Scientific data analysis and visualisation My approach is practical: define the business workflow, build a reliable first version, add observability and automated tests, and document the system so it can be maintained after delivery. I have a PhD in Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology and research experience at Dublin City University, the National Human Genome Research Institute and Trinity College Dublin. This scientific background is particularly useful for technical, healthcare, biotechnology and research-focused AI projects.
