About
I ship production software for clients, mostly in full-stack TypeScript, from the database schema to the interface and the tests that hold it together. Since April 2025 that has meant four production codebases, including a hiring platform for athletes and veterans and estimating software for construction contractors.
My focus is LLM systems that hold up outside a demo. I treat a model like any other dependency: its output gets measured against evals, and the decisions that matter stay with people. That's the approach behind the MCP server I built for Shift Group's staff and the agent pipeline I use for my own projects.
I'm a fundamentals-first learner, whether that's a new language or a new dish. Outside of work, I produce music, make digital art, cook, and go cycling.

Contract engineer · Shift Group
Shift Connect matches athlete and veteran job seekers with hiring companies. I work across the whole app, from candidate search to the internal tools staff use to run placements, and built the MCP server that gives staff role-scoped access to platform data from Claude.

Jig
An orchestrator that runs Claude agents through a feature's spec, issues, implementation, and verification. Each stage is a gate that blocks until its condition holds, and every step records its real cost.

Answer Engine
A retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) engine that answers questions about 23 U.S. Census manufacturing reports. It finds sources with hybrid search, combining keyword and vector matching, then cites the page and table cells behind every answer and declines when the reports can't support one. It answered all 61 questions in its test set correctly.
