I build production systems that your customers actually use and that directly increase revenue, reduce workload, and automate real operations. Most AI projects fail not because the model is wrong but because the system around it is not built for production. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗜 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: • Fragile AI integrations that break with API changes • Prompts that work in notebooks but fail under real user load • Automations that stop working after deployment • AI systems that hallucinate instead of using real business data These are architecture problems and I fix them. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱: ▸ AI Agents & Multi-Agent Systems LangChain · LangGraph · LlamaIndex Autonomous workflows that reason, plan, and execute business tasks ▸ RAG / Knowledge Systems (Enterprise Search) Pinecone · pgvector · embeddings AI that answers from your documents, CRM, contracts with citations (no hallucinations) ▸ Voice AI & Conversational Agents VAPI · Retell AI · ElevenLabs · Whisper AI receptionists, booking agents, and outbound callers that operate 24/7 ▸ AI Sales & CRM Automation OpenAI · HubSpot · Salesforce · GoHighLevel Automated follow-ups, pipeline management, lead scoring, meeting booking ▸ HIPAA-Compliant AI Systems (HealthTech) HL7 · FHIR · AWS · Azure Secure, production-ready healthcare AI built under compliance requirements ▸ Full-Stack AI Products (SaaS) FastAPI · Next.js · React · PostgreSQL · Stripe End-to-end AI SaaS platforms with authentication, billing, and scaling architecture 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀: • AI Fraud Detection System → 20,000+ domains analyzed in 6 seconds • AI Sales SaaS → 50+ reps onboarded, 10 hrs/week saved per rep • Voice AI Booking System → 400+ monthly bookings automated across 5 locations • AI M&A Matching Platform → reduced deal matching time from weeks to seconds 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸: LangChain , LangGraph , OpenAI GPT-4o , Claude , Gemini , RAG , Pinecone , pgvector , VAPI , Retell AI , Whisper , n8n , Make , FastAPI, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, CI/CD I work as a technical partner not a task executor. Before building anything, I evaluate whether it will actually work in production and scale. If you’re building an AI system, I can tell you within 1–2 hours whether your approach is viable and how to fix it before you waste budget. Let’s build systems that actually ship.
