Portfolio
I build AI products at the boundary between models and real software: provider integrations, evaluation systems, production services, developer examples, and the infrastructure that makes fast inference useful.
Selected Projects
Developer ecosystem · Cerebras
Fast inference where developers already work
Built and maintained integrations across LangChain, Pydantic AI, Flowise, Dify, Cline, Kilo Code, and OpenCode.
Outcome: native Cerebras support, model discovery, reasoning controls, and production-oriented examples across major AI tooling ecosystems.
See LangChain releases
AI product platform · Cordial
From first service to evaluated product capability
Built the company's first production Python AI service and connected it to the core PHP platform under a tight evaluation deadline.
Outcome: the resulting AI product capabilities earned a 5 out of 5 score in the 2024 Forrester Wave evaluation.
Enterprise retrieval · Corteva
Conversational access to a large data catalog
Helped build a GPT-4 retrieval system across roughly 200 enterprise data sources.
Outcome: a knowledge interface designed to serve 21,000 employees.
AI automation · Cordial
Generation, agents, voice, and optimization
Developed customer-facing capabilities for message generation, audience building, agent automation, outbound voice workflows, and send-time optimization.
Outcome: send-time optimization increased clicks by 30%.

Other Product Work
- Message understanding: shipped services that analyzed millions of marketing messages, including insights from roughly one billion emails sent during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday period.
- Amazon listing optimization: designed keyword, title, and product-listing scoring systems using Amazon Search Query Performance data, and upgraded supporting AI services written in Go.
- Founder work: built Persuaide, Resonaid, and Kindest AI, a suite of products focused on persuasive writing and communication and supported by German and European startup scholarships.
