About

Ideas into production-ready software.

I'm a Full-Stack AI Engineer with 3+ years building modern web apps, SaaS platforms, AI-powered products, and business automation systems — shipping faster with AI-driven development in Cursor IDE.

My path started with a Bachelor's in Electrical Computer Engineering — a foundation in problem-solving and system design. Since then I've worked with startups, agencies, and clients across countries, shipping products in construction, insurance, marketing, healthcare, e-commerce, and AI content generation.

I like problems that need more than code: architecture, multi-service integrations, workflow automation, and AI experiences that create real business value — from planning through blue-green AWS deployment and ongoing maintenance.

What I do

Responsive frontend applications
Scalable backend APIs
Database architecture
AI integrations
AI automations (GHL, Vapi)
AI-driven development (Cursor IDE)
AWS deployment (EC2, S3, RDS)
Blue-green deployment (Docker, GitHub Actions)

Highlight

Built Cascade Stucco — AI ops platform for construction with AI SMS/phone follow-ups, real-time tracking, escalation, and an admin dashboard for workflows and business rules.

Built a reusable React annotation library (private GitHub Package) for reviewing and refining CV annotations on construction drawings, PDFs, and images.

Shipped Cila AI — SaaS for automated faceless short-form video creation and publishing to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.

Built AI automation workflows with GoHighLevel (GHL) — funnel lead capture with automated nurture emails — and Vapi voice agents that call field teams to follow up on assigned tasks that haven't been started.

Deploy production apps on AWS (EC2, S3, RDS) with GitHub Actions CI/CD and Docker — releases roll out via blue-green deployment, keeping the current environment live until the new container is healthy, then cutting traffic over with no downtime.

Practice AI-driven development with Cursor IDE — codebase-aware agents, inline completions, multi-file refactors, and AI-assisted debugging that accelerate delivery, cut boilerplate, scaffold tests and docs, catch issues earlier, and shorten iteration loops from idea to production-ready code.
