I build full stack web apps and agent systems. The two I've worked on most personally are Infinite Realms, a live AI RPG with a multi agent backend and a GPU media pipeline on Modal, and NovelHut, a web novel platform with semantic search. I also designed and built an MCP capability server with 102 tools and real safety controls (trust gates, spend caps, a kill switch), ran it for a month in public with an autonomous agent managing real wallets, and built OpenTrust, a trust registry and marketplace for agent tools, for a hackathon. Everything is live, built solo, and linked in my resume.
Why me: I ship features now, I put out fires, and I own a problem until it's actually fixed. I come up to speed fast on whatever language or stack your team already runs. I use AI as leverage but I keep product quality and business cost in view. I built everything above on a $20 a month AI plan and a small salary, so I know how to get a lot out of a small budget. Before and during all this I spent years doing frontline support for college students, the elderly, and the unsheltered, so I can sit with real users, find their pain points, communicate clearly, and design features anyone can use.
I'm mostly self taught, working through an A.S. in CS toward a bachelor's, so I won't win a credentials comparison. I'll win the one where the feature is shipped and the customer is happy. Looking for a full stack or AI/agent engineering role at an early stage company, full time or contract to hire. I like working with people and getting to know the team I'm building for.
