Four Pillars of One Generalist Practice

Four disciplines, one person: institutional-grade engineering, applied AI research, risk strategy, and editorial and physical craft. I held complex systems together at Capital One and Google, and I've built new ones from zero. I use AI throughout and keep up as the tools change.

Technical & Analytical Engineering

Architecture, instrumentation, and interfaces for data-rich systems.

  • Full-Stack Web Development: Architecture and deployment of scalable web applications and interactive interfaces using Python, JavaScript, GCP, and Fly.io.
  • Data Visualization & Dashboards: Building custom operational risk libraries and executive reporting pipelines utilizing SQL, BigQuery, D3.js, and Tableau.
  • Complex UI/UX: High-end interactive web development incorporating physics-based UI elements, the Canvas API, and Three.js.

Applied AI & Machine Learning

Specialized language models and multimodal systems, MVP through deployment.

  • Custom LLM Training: Fine-tuning and deploying specialized language models for highly specific use cases (e.g., automated agents, interrogative AI interfaces).
  • Prompt Engineering & System Design: Architecting multimodal systems and project-centric applications from MVP to deployment.

Risk Strategy & Trust/Safety Operations

Regulatory alignment, workflow design, and vendor scale for platform integrity.

  • Regulatory Implementation: Aligning platform capabilities with evolving global legislation (DSA/DMA) without increasing operational overhead.
  • Workflow Optimization & Root Cause Analysis: Designing risk frameworks to streamline incident management between engineering and safety teams.
  • Vendor Management: Scaling overseas contractor teams and establishing rigorous QA and compliance operations.

Textual Production & Physical Media

Editorial, translation, and end-to-end artisanal fabrication.

  • Editorial & Semiotic Translation: Literary translation, institutional critique, and structural analysis, backed by an academic foundation in Comparative Literature and Japanese culture.
  • Artisanal Fabrication: End-to-end production of physical media, including writing, custom bookbinding, hot press foil stamping, and high-end leather fabrication.

How We Get Started

  1. 1. Quick Conversation

    We'll spend 20-30 minutes understanding your challenge, context, and what success looks like.

  2. 2. Scoped Proposal

    I'll send a clear proposal with the timeline, deliverables, and cost up front.

  3. 3. Get to Work

    We start with regular check-ins and adjust as we learn. You'll see progress every few days.
