I design and stabilize production-grade AI systems.
Most teams can call an API. Few build systems that hold up under real conditions—multi-step workflows, unreliable data, external dependencies, and LLM behavior that needs to be controlled, validated, and made observable.
That’s where I focus.
- Deterministic AI workflow orchestration (LLM planning + controlled execution)
- Retrieval systems (hybrid search, reranking, explainability)
- API orchestration and event-driven architectures
- Stripe and webhook-based payment systems with safe, idempotent processing
- Hardening fragile systems before they scale
- AI orchestration pipelines (planning, tool execution, validation layers)
- Retrieval-augmented systems (BM25, vector search, reranking)
- Event-driven backend systems & webhook validation
- REST / GraphQL API design
- Relational data modeling (Postgres/MySQL)
- Python, Node.js, TypeScript
- Observability, logging, and failure recovery
ikonPractice — Custom dental SaaS platform
Backend architecture, API integrations, and payment workflows for a production SaaS system.
MoodMe — Relationship intelligence platform (iOS + Android)
Worked on backend architecture and AI orchestration powering structured multi-stage LLM workflows and validation pipelines.
MoodJi Sports — AI Systems Platform (In Development)
Designing backend systems for multi-stage AI routing, deterministic processing layers, and structured tone/frequency mapping logic.
These projects focus on building production-style systems—not demos.
LLM generates structured plans. Runtime executes them deterministically with validation and full traceability.

- Deterministic > clever
- Observable > opaque
- Systems > scripts
Due to NDAs, not all professional work is publicly visible. I’m happy to discuss architecture decisions, tradeoffs, and system design in detail.
