My Portfolio & Story
From rebuilding my life after a spinal cord injury to building production-grade software—this is how I turn resilience into real-world code.
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.
Recent work includes an agentic AI shopping assistant using LangChain and Claude, an enterprise computer vision pipeline with TensorFlow.js and MediaPipe, 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.

What I Offer
Whether you're a business owner in need of a custom web application or a company looking for an AI engineer, I build software that works in the real world.
I'm Matthew Raynor—a former commercial fisherman turned AI engineer and full-stack developer after a life-changing spinal cord injury. I taught myself to code using adaptive technology, learning Django and Python from scratch. That same determination drives every project I build today.
My recent work includes an agentic AI shopping assistant using LangChain and Claude, an enterprise computer vision pipeline with TensorFlow.js and MediaPipe for real-time photo validation, ML-powered wall visualization using MiDaS depth estimation, and full-stack platforms with complex pricing engines and third-party API orchestration.
For clients, I create secure, scalable, and easy-to-use applications tailored to your workflow. For employers, I bring production-level skills in AI/ML, computer vision, LLM integration, Django, Docker, PostgreSQL, React, and a lived perspective on problem-solving and perseverance. I'm ready to add value from day one.
