I design and build AI-assisted web applications using LLMs and modern web stacks — focused on practical, production-ready products that real businesses can actually use.

This work is part of CushLabs.ai, my independent AI product studio focused on building calm, durable AI systems that prioritize clarity, maintainability, and real-world value over demos and hype.

I help organizations move from AI curiosity to usable systems.

I bring 17+ years of experience in enterprise IT and consulting, including time as an IT Manager at a Fortune 100 company, where I supported large-scale infrastructure, internal platforms, and executive stakeholders in high-stakes environments.

I’ve managed systems that had to stay online, explained technical trade-offs to non-technical leaders, and made decisions with long-term operational consequences.

That background directly informs how I approach modern development today:

• clear architecture
• disciplined scope
• production-first thinking
• systems that age well as tools and models evolve

I work at the intersection of AI capability, UX clarity, and business reality.

• Design and build AI-assisted web applications powered by LLMs
• Implement practical AI features (analysis, search, assistants, copilots)
• Ship production-ready systems using React, TypeScript, and Python
• Architect solutions that balance speed, reliability, and maintainability
• Explore modern AI tooling and share learnings through open-source projects

My focus is not “AI for its own sake,” but AI that supports human judgment and real workflows.

I’m not new to complex systems — I’m new to applying modern AI tooling responsibly.

I’ve:

• debugged enterprise systems at 3 a.m.
• supported executives during critical decisions
• owned systems long after the initial build
• seen what breaks when projects prioritize speed over clarity

That experience allows me to translate AI buzzwords into clear, usable products that teams can actually operate and maintain.

Clients work with me when they want:

• thoughtful architecture, not fragile demos
• clear communication, not jargon
• delivery discipline, not experimentation without ownership

I focus on building AI-assisted systems that are understandable, maintainable, and genuinely useful — not products held together by prompts.

I believe good AI products:

• Respect human judgment instead of replacing it
• Favor clarity over cleverness
• Deliver small, real value early
• Age well as models, tools, and APIs change

Most of my work lives where technical capability meets practical restraint.
