Freelance AI Engineer & Educator

Turning AI from
buzzword into
real results

I help small businesses, teams, and curious humans build AI systems that actually work — and understand why they work. No jargon, no hype. Just honest automation and thoughtful education.

I build AI systems
the way I’d want them
explained to me

Seven years ago I was an educator. Then I fell headfirst into machine learning and never looked back — but I carried something with me: the belief that technology only matters when people understand it.

Today I work at the overlap of three things: engineering AI pipelines that solve real business problems, automating the tedious so humans can focus on what matters, and teaching teams to use AI without the fear or the hype.

I work with founders, growing teams, and individuals who are done watching AI pass them by. My clients call me after they’ve tried the generic solutions and need something that actually fits.

AI Engineering

Custom LLM pipelines, RAG systems, API integrations

AI Automation

Workflows that save hours. Real ops, real ROI.

Where AI fits in your business — honestly assessed

“The best AI implementation I’ve built wasn’t the most complex — it was the one where the client’s team lit up because they finally understood it.”

Simple process.
No surprises.

I show my work at every step. You’ll always know what we’re building, why, and what comes next.

Start a conversation
01

Listen first, build second

Before any code, we have a real conversation about your workflow, your team’s comfort with tech, and what success looks like to you — not to me.

02

Design the simplest solution

The lightest-weight approach that solves your core problem. No feature creep. Just a clear plan you can actually understand.

03

Build with you, not for you

Weekly check-ins, shared dashboards, plain-English updates. You see every step. Feedback loops are short.

04

Handover & stay around

Full documentation, a walkthrough video, and 30 days of support. Most clients call it the best-documented system they’ve ever received.

Let’s build something worth telling people about

Whether you have a clear brief or just a vague sense that AI could help — I’m happy to think it through with you. No obligation, no pitch deck.
