Traci R.

I help businesses get complicated work done: building AI tools, producing federal contracting documents, and writing and editing content that reads clearly and gets approved. My background is 20+ years in federal construction (USACE, Air Force, VA, USDA, National Park Service), including serving as consulting operations and safety manager for a federal prime contractor, plus a BS in AI Software Engineering (in progress) and published fiction. I understand compliance-heavy industries from the inside, and I can build and write for them. WHAT I DO 1) AI INTEGRATION & DEVELOPMENT • AI chatbots and assistants trained on your documents, tone, or workflows • LLM integrations into existing tools through APIs • Automation for document-heavy processes: drafting, review, compliance checks, reporting • Web, desktop, and mobile apps with AI features, a database, and payments • AI evaluation and domain-expert review for AI training and benchmarking Tech: Claude and other LLM APIs, prompt engineering, React, React Native / Expo, Supabase, Stripe, Netlify, Base44. 2) GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING SUPPORT • Solicitation responses (RFP / RFQ), capability statements, and bid documents • Project documents for federal work: RFIs, submittal registers, schedules, safety plans (EM 385-1-1), subcontractor agreements and onboarding packets • Contract administration and compliance documentation • Experience across FFP, T&M, ID/IQ, and GSA contracts 3) WRITING & EDITING • Technical writing: manuals, procedures, plans, and reports • Business content, web copy, and long-form articles • Editing and proofreading for clarity, consistency, and tone • Resumes, cover letters, and application packages • Fiction: published dark fantasy author SELECTED WORK • Construction ERP software with AI features • BidScout: a desktop app that helps contractors screen and score federal bid opportunities • EZDocs and EZPortal: a library of 100+ construction compliance and project-management documents, plus project management software for contractors, sold online with Stripe payments and a Supabase back end • Federal construction scenario with planted defects across five input files, built to benchmark AI models; construction industry expert contributor on AI training work with Snorkel AI • Personal AI chatbot trained on one person's communication patterns WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME • I have been on the contractor side of the table, so I know what a reviewer or contracting officer looks for • I build the software and write the documents, so nothing gets lost between the tech and the paperwork • I have worked remotely since 2018, so clear written updates are second nature • I write fiction as well as technical documents, so the result reads well and not just passes a checklist CREDENTIALS BEHIND THE WORK • Consulting Operations and Safety Manager for a federal prime contractor • CCM, CPE (Lifetime), PMP, CPCM, SMP, RRC, CIEC, CPC • 38+ OSHA certifications, including OSHA 500 trainer authorization • Independent construction expert witness • BS in Business Management, Indiana University Kelley School of Business (High Distinction) WHO I WORK WITH • Small and mid-size contractors pursuing or performing federal work • Subcontractors who need clean, compliant paperwork to get on a job • Founders and teams who want AI built into a real workflow, not a demo • Authors, consultants, and business owners who need writing that is clear and ready to send PROJECTS I CAN START ON NOW • Accident Prevention Plan and Activity Hazard Analyses to EM 385-1-1 • Quality control plan, submittal register, and RFI log • Subcontractor agreement and onboarding packet • Capability statement and technical volume for an RFQ • Chatbot that answers staff questions from your SOPs and contract documents • Tool that checks a draft against solicitation requirements before you submit WHAT YOU GET • Files you can use right away: editable Word, Excel, and PDF documents, or working apps and code • Plain language, correct terminology, and the structure reviewers expect • Scope, price, and timeline agreed before work starts • Honest feedback if a shortcut would put you at risk HOW A PROJECT RUNS 1. You send the request, files, and deadline 2. I reply with scope, price, and timeline 3. I deliver a first draft or working build for your review 4. We revise until it meets your standard 5. You get final files and a short handoff HOW I WORK Clear scoping up front, regular updates, and deliverables you can use right away. If a task isn't a fit for me or for AI, I'll tell you instead of taking your money. Tell me what you need done and the deadline, and I'll reply with how I'd approach it.
