Quick way to check what I'm up to these days.

Where am I?

I'm based in Tampa Bay, FL, enjoying the sunshine and the tech scene here.

What I'm working on currently?

1. AI Engineering at Polly: Building production agentic workflow systems and RAG pipelines that automate complex business processes and handle enterprise-level workloads.

2. AI Automation for Airbnb Hosts: Building a suite of tools that transform how hosts manage their properties:

   • BnB Tuner: AI-powered listing optimizer that reviews property descriptions and suggests improvements for better copy, plus exploring AI-driven professional photo editing
   • Airbnb Replier: Automated guest communication system using n8n monitoring, Google ADK for intelligent responses, and Slack integration for human-in-the-loop approval

3. Technical Content Creation: Publishing in-depth articles about AI engineering, system architecture, and implementation challenges - sharing insights from both production systems and personal experiments.

4. Community Building: Connecting with fellow AI engineers and sharing knowledge through writing and technical discussions.

Professional Experience & Expertise

At Polly, I focus on building production AI systems:

• Agentic workflow systems that automate complex business processes
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines for intelligent data processing
• Voice-enabled AI applications with speech recognition and synthesis
• Cross-platform development with expertise in iOS browser limitations
• Scalable AI infrastructure that handles enterprise-level workloads

Personal Projects & Side Work:

Beyond my day job, I explore cutting-edge AI technologies through personal projects:

AI & Automation:

• Agent-based architectures using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK)
• Workflow automation and orchestration with n8n for personal productivity
• Data-sovereign AI solutions prioritizing privacy and user control

Backend & Infrastructure:

• Asynchronous programming patterns and Google's Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol
• FastAPI services and microservices architecture
• Cloud deployment with Google Cloud Functions and AWS EC2

Frontend & Mobile:

• Progressive web app development with modern frameworks
• Cross-platform mobile web development

I am available for:

• Technical consulting on AI system architecture
• Content collaboration and speaking opportunities
• Mentoring and technical advisory roles
• Interesting conversations about the future of AI

Am I available for freelance work/employment/co-founding/gardening?

I'm always open to hearing about exciting opportunities, especially those involving cutting-edge AI work or leadership roles in innovative companies. With my experience building production agentic workflows and RAG systems, I'm particularly interested in projects that push the boundaries of what's possible with AI.

I'm also available for consulting projects around:

• RAG system architecture and implementation
• Agentic workflow design
• AI system scaling and optimization
• Technical mentoring and strategic guidance

How do I decide about a project if it sounds exciting?

I follow the "Hell yeah! or No" principle.
