I am a backend engineer specializing in AI infrastructure and production LLM systems. I built and operate Eric AI, a governed runtime control plane that enforces policy boundaries, capability routing, and deterministic execution for AI systems in production. My background spans full-stack development across backend services, serverless infrastructure, and native mobile platforms. I am seeking contract opportunities in AI infrastructure, governed execution systems, and backend engineering. In my current role, I designed a bounded-autonomy control plane that sits between application code and AI models, and implemented pre-inference guardrails, deterministic routing, schema normalization, and immutable audit ledgers. I built a fail-closed architecture with multi-tenant policy isolation and deployed production serverless infrastructure using Node.js, TypeScript, and Firebase Cloud Functions. I am actively piloting with enterprise clients to address governance needs and ensure safe, auditable AI execution.

Work Experience

Founder & Backend Engineer at Eric AI Infrastructure
January 1, 2025 - Present
Designed and operate Eric AI, a production AI runtime control plane that governs how LLM systems execute inside applications. Built to address the gap between model capability and production safety in regulated and operationally critical environments. Implemented pre-inference guardrails including input risk analysis, prompt injection detection, schema validation, and rate limiting — all evaluated before model invocation. Built bounded-autonomy control plane mapping approved request types to registered execution flows with deterministic routing. Implemented schema normalization to ensure all model outputs conform to strict typed structures. Built immutable audit ledger logging policy decisions, capability invocations, and execution outcomes with structured metadata for traceability. Implemented fail-closed architecture and multi-tenant policy enforcement with isolated execution per tenant. Deployed production serverless infrastructure using Node.js, TypeScript, and Firebase Cloud Fun
Founder & Full Stack Engineer at EventInterface
January 1, 2014 - January 1, 2022
Built a mobile event management platform for conferences and organizations, end-to-end from architecture through production deployment. Developed backend APIs using Node.js and PostgreSQL supporting multi-tenant event management, schedules, speakers, and attendee engagement. Built native mobile applications for iOS and Android with backend integration. End-to-end product ownership from architecture through production deployment and ongoing operations.
