Consulting & Development Services

🔔 Independent Services

All consulting and development services offered here are provided independently as personal professional services, separate from any institutional employment. Services are available to educational institutions, companies, organizations, and individuals seeking custom technical solutions.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a rare combination of hands-on AI implementation skills and deep operational experience. With 20+ years in industry, 15+ production AI systems built, and full-stack development expertise, I bridge the gap between what AI can do and what your business actually needs.

🤖

AI Systems Architecture

Advanced Claude AI implementation, custom MCP servers, intelligent agents, and LLM-powered workflow automation. I don't just use AI — I architect systems tailored to your operations.

💻

Full-Stack Development

JavaScript, Python, React, Next.js, PWAs. I build production-ready applications from concept to deployment — including the infrastructure to keep them running.

🎯

Operational Experience

20+ years running real operations, including 11 years as a business owner. I understand workflows, bottlenecks, and what automation actually solves vs. what it doesn't.

⚡

Builder, Not Advisor

I don't deliver strategy decks — I deliver working systems. From scoping through deployment, I build the thing and hand you the keys.
