CORE SERVICES

Complex AI systems, not commodity code. I work on problems that require genuine research, system-level thinking, and deep domain expertise.

01 /
AI SaaS
Architecture

Multi-tenant SaaS platforms powered by AI agents. I've architected systems with 268 agents across 18 industries — Lambda + DynamoDB + Amplify + custom LLM orchestration. From zero to production-ready.
