What I actually do

I work across the full stack — React frontends, C# and Python backends, PostgreSQL databases, and Linux infrastructure on AWS. My recent work has a strong AI and data component: building RAG pipelines with local embedding models and vector databases, integrating LLMs for document analysis and generation, and shipping privacy-preserving alternatives to cloud-dependent tools. I apply OWASP security practices throughout — from input validation and authentication to server hardening and security headers.

I'm available for freelance, contract, and consulting engagements. I can join a team for a specific build, take a product from zero to launch, or improve an existing system. I prefer projects where engineering quality matters and where there's a real problem to solve — not a feature to check off.

Areas of expertise, with evidence

Each claim below is backed by a specific, shipped project — not a skills list. Click through to the actual implementation.

RAG pipelines and AI-powered tooling
Building retrieval-augmented generation systems end to end: crawling and ingesting source data, chunking and embedding with local models, vector storage and retrieval, reranking, and LLM synthesis with cited, verifiable output.
Evidence: Reddit Research Tool
API tooling and developer experience
Building developer-facing tools that respect the developer's time and data: offline-first storage, non-blocking background processing, and testing interfaces that avoid the usual CORS friction points.
Evidence: YASP
Production-safe infrastructure tooling
Building deployment and operations tooling designed around failure recovery, not just the happy path: automatic rollback, integrity verification, and dry-run modes for anything that touches production.
Evidence: WinService.Deploy
Privacy-first, local-first software
Building tools where sensitive data — documents, credentials, business logic — never leaves the user's device or network, without sacrificing the polish of a hosted alternative.
