About

I build AI automation systems that actually survive contact with reality.

I’ve shipped end-to-end workflows using LLMs, vision OCR, APIs, OAuth, and databases . not demos, but real systems that handle complex inputs, edge cases, and human behavior. I focus on turning vague business processes into clear, reliable automation.

What sets me apart isn’t the tools, it’s how I think. I break problems down until both humans and AI can execute them without guesswork. If a workflow is fragile, unclear, or held together by prompts, I redesign it.

I’m best used where the hype around AI ends and real implementation begins.

KanjiLens is an AI-powered kanji learning platform that transforms real-world Japanese into personalized study material.

By combining OCR, LLMs, and spaced repetition, it eliminates generic decks and focuses only on what each learner actually needs next. The result: faster progress, higher retention, and study sessions that stay relevant.

Built end-to-end with production-grade AI systems …not prompts taped together.
