Building AI-Native Software

Available now · Pittsburgh, PA · Open to remote

Production quality, on a startup-founder timeline.

Most enterprise teams ship in 8 to 12 weeks. I ship in 3 to 7 days at the same scope and quality, because I run a modern AI-native development stack that compresses research, design, build, and verification into a single audit-gated cycle. Same shipping discipline a Fortune-500 PMO would want, on the timeline of a seed-stage founder.

PRODUCTIVITY APP

iBend

SHIPPED

A focused productivity app I built and ship updates to weekly. Demonstrates iterative shipping discipline: small, opinionated, and fully owned end-to-end.

  • Designed and built solo - product, frontend, backend, deployment
  • Iterative weekly release cadence
  • Real users, real feedback loop
  • Small surface area, high polish, no bloat

Spec Coverage Auditor

SHIPPED

A CI gate that compares any deployed app against its original PRD and blocks releases on coverage gaps.

What's inside
  • Claude-extracted feature checklist from the spec text
  • Deterministic checks against the live deployment (routes, endpoints, fields, validations)
  • SPA-shell hydration awareness; fuzzy resource & field name matching
  • Findings filed back as build-team work items, capped at 3 follow-up iterations
  • Catches the failure class that route-checks and UX heuristics both miss

Senior engineering roles and select consulting engagements.

I'm available for full-time staff or principal engineering roles, founding engineer positions at funded startups, and short-list consulting engagements where the work is interesting and the team ships. Reach out with what you're building - I'll respond within 24 hours.

Modern. Boring where it counts.

AI & LLM Engineering

Production-grade agent systems. Structured outputs, parallel tool-use, retrieval, and prompt design that holds at scale.
