My Journey

Once a commercial fisherman, I became tetraplegic after a life-altering injury. But I turned pain into purpose, teaching myself to code with an adaptive workflow, building apps, and inspiring others through writing and art.

My Development Projects

I'm an AI Engineer & Full-Stack Developer who builds production-grade software from the ground up. My work spans computer vision, LLM integration, agentic AI systems, and full-stack web development using React, TypeScript, Django, and modern cloud tooling.

I specialize in taking complex real-world processes and transforming them into clean, reliable, user-friendly software. My engineering approach is methodical — I plan deeply, break down problems clearly, and design systems that scale.

Recent work includes an agentic AI shopping assistant using LangChain and Claude that manages carts and searches photos semantically — try it live. Also: an enterprise computer vision pipeline with TensorFlow.js and MediaPipe for real-time photo validation, and ML-powered wall visualization using MiDaS depth estimation. I also build full-stack platforms like ToteTaxi.com with complex pricing engines and third-party API orchestration.
