Useful before impressive.
Evidence before action.
Human control where it matters.
What I build
Automation with an operating model—not just a prompt.
Each build is scoped around a real workflow, measurable acceptance criteria, and a safe way to handle uncertainty.
Grounded AI assistants
Build assistants that answer from approved knowledge, show their sources, and escalate when the evidence is not strong enough.
API & business integrations
Connect forms, CRMs, documents, email, and internal systems through reliable APIs instead of fragile copy-and-paste work.
Internal tools & dashboards
Give teams a focused interface for reviews, exceptions, status, and decisions—not another dashboard full of noise.
Working proof
ClarityDesk
RAG support agent with citations and human review
A public demonstration system that retrieves approved product records, measures evidence, returns source-backed answers, and routes uncertain or conflicting cases to human review instead of guessing.

How I work
A short path from messy process to dependable system.
Map
Define the workflow, evidence, edge cases, and the actions that must stay under human control.
Build
Deliver the smallest useful end-to-end system first, then connect the approved tools and data.
Verify
Test supported, unsupported, conflicting, and failure cases before calling the workflow ready.
Hand off
Provide clear setup notes, operating limits, and a walkthrough your team can actually use.
A practical standard
Not everything should be autonomous.
01 Credentials stay server-side and client-controlled.
02 High-impact actions get an approval step.
03 Unsupported answers are visible, not disguised.
04 Every handoff includes tests and operating limits.
