Work

Systems I've designed, built, and kept running.

Each entry follows the same shape: what was broken, why normal approaches failed, what I actually built, and what happened.

Compliance workflow automation for legal document processing

Founder & Lead Engineer · Sept 2025 - Present

What was broken

Legal teams processing 100+ page contracts manually. Reviews took days, errors slipped through, no audit trail.

Why normal automation failed

Off-the-shelf AI parsers hallucinated on edge cases. Silent failures meant bad extractions went unnoticed. No human checkpoint before downstream actions.

What I built

Multi-agent pipeline with confidence-based routing. Extractions below 80% confidence auto-flag for human review. Durable state so nothing gets lost mid-process.

Outcome

95%+ parsing accuracy on structured fields. Shipped production MVP in 6 weeks. Real users processing real contracts.

Distributed workflow engine for long-running AI processes

Lead Engineer · Oct 2025

What was broken

AI workflows dying mid-execution. No way to pause, resume, or replay. Operators blind to what was happening inside the system.

Why normal automation failed

Cron jobs with no state. When processes crashed, they lost everything. Retries meant re-running from scratch.

What I built

Event-driven architecture with pause/resume/replay. Automatic retry logic. Real-time dashboard showing workflow state. 50+ concurrent processes managed reliably.

Outcome

Sub-200ms API response times under load. Zero silent failures. Operators can see exactly where things are.

Research collaboration platform replacing spreadsheet chaos

Technical Lead · Aug 2024 - Mar 2025

What was broken

Universities coordinating research across teams using shared spreadsheets. Version conflicts, lost data, no permissions model.

Why normal automation failed

Previous attempts used static tools that couldn't handle real-time collaboration. No analytics to understand usage patterns.

What I built

Full SaaS platform with RBAC, real-time sync, and analytics dashboard. Role-based access so each team sees only what they should.

Outcome

200+ active users across multiple universities. Replaced manual spreadsheet workflows entirely.

Stateful AI therapy assistant with session memory

Lead Developer · Nov 2024 - May 2025

What was broken

Mental health apps that forgot context between sessions. Users had to re-explain themselves every time. No continuity of care.

Why normal automation failed

Stateless LLM calls. Each conversation started fresh. Sensitive data handled carelessly.

What I built

Cross-platform mobile app with conversation memory spanning sessions. Encrypted storage. HIPAA-aligned privacy controls. Custom prompt engineering for therapeutic context.

Outcome

Validated with 10+ healthcare professionals. Multi-session context that actually remembers.

Event discovery platform shipped in 5 days

Independent Project · Oct 2025

What was broken

Finding local events required checking multiple fragmented sources. No unified view.

What I built

Full-stack app with auth, Maps integration, and agentic AI chain. Serverless architecture for zero-ops.

Outcome

Concept to deployed production in 5 days. Demonstrated ability to ship fast without sacrificing quality.
