Jamie W.

AI Architect | Integrating AI Into Existing Systems & Workflows

I'm an AI architect with 20+ years of engineering experience and co-founder of Calnetic. I help companies add reliable AI to existing software, recover stalled projects, and turn prototypes into production systems. You work directly with me. I lead the architecture and stay hands-on, and when a project needs more capacity I bring in my own vetted team, so it scales without a drop in quality. I also know where AI doesn't belong. A law firm I built a discovery automation system for put it this way: "Jamie was brilliant in identifying and systematizing our firm's processes… he and his team identified opportunities to leverage AI where helpful and eliminate it where it is not, giving me a reliable automation app." We also build and run our own products at Calnetic: recruiting platforms, lead generation automation, security scanning, legal case management, and multi-agent AI systems. We've already made the expensive mistakes on our own products, so you don't pay to learn them on yours. Some of what I've built: • LossScan: turns carrier loss runs into underwriting data, extracted and reconciled from 5,000+ carriers in minutes • ReviveMD: operations command center for multi-clinic healthcare groups, with AI agents running in production • Trucking Law: AI case management and discovery automation for a trucking accident law firm • Proven: verified athlete data platform, endorsed by the Texas high school coaches' and athletic directors' associations Where I'm usually brought in: • AI integration: adding AI to an existing SaaS product or business workflow • Project recovery: fixing AI systems that are unreliable, slow, or incomplete • Scaling and hardening: upgrading systems that break under real-world use • Architecture: setting the foundation before development goes off course • MVP to production: turning a prototype or rough idea into a production-ready product How I work: I start with your requirements and an architecture plan, so you know what's being built, what it'll cost, and where AI actually helps before any code is written. Then I build, deploy, and harden it. After launch, I can stay on for support or hand it off cleanly to your team. I work best with teams who want it built properly, not just quickly. Industries: legal, insurance, healthcare and clinical, recruiting, CRM and field service, lead generation. Core expertise Agentic and generative AI: multi-agent systems (tools, memory, planning); RAG pipelines (hybrid search, retrieval optimization); LLM integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini); structured outputs, evaluation, and prompt design; voice AI (real-time streaming, STT/TTS); multi-modal systems (documents, vision); MCP servers and context systems. AI infrastructure: vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Qdrant); embeddings, chunking, and ingestion pipelines; observability and evaluation (LangSmith, Helicone, Arize); workflow orchestration (n8n, Make, custom). SaaS and systems: React, Next.js, Node, Python, .NET; multi-tenant SaaS, APIs, and integrations; PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Supabase; Azure, AWS, GCP, Docker, CI/CD, Terraform. If you're building or fixing a production system, send me a short summary. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit and how I'd approach it, and walk you through a live system I've built.
