Independent Developer — AI, Automation & Software

I build AI-powered systems that automate repetitive business work.

I use AI, Python, APIs, and custom software to help businesses cut down on manual work — things like data entry, report generation, and moving information between tools — and replace it with workflows that run themselves.

What could your business stop doing manually?

Every business has some version of this: busywork that eats time but doesn't need a person doing it. Here are the kinds of problems I build software to solve — not a client list, just where this work tends to show up.

01

Repetitive Data Entry & Processing

Pulling data from spreadsheets, forms, or emails and getting it into the right system, correctly, every time.

02

Reports & Document Generation

Turning raw data into the reports, summaries, or documents your business needs, without someone assembling them by hand.

03

AI-Assisted Internal Workflows

Using AI to draft, summarize, classify, or organize information so your team spends less time on repetitive thinking work.

04

Connecting Tools & Moving Data

Getting the systems you already use to talk to each other, so data stops getting copied around by hand.

05

Custom Internal Tools & Lightweight Software

Small, purpose-built tools and dashboards designed around the specific way your business actually works.

Projects & Technical Work

These projects show how I actually work — Python, APIs, data pipelines, AI/LLM integration, and full-stack development. Some come from a professional GIS background; the underlying skills (automation, data processing, problem solving) carry directly into business software.

About

I'm a technical analyst and automation developer based in Tampa, FL. My professional background is in GIS and enterprise data — I currently support electric-distribution data workflows for a utility client, validating and QA'ing network records at production scale. Alongside that, I build Python applications on my own time: AI-assisted documentation tools, full-stack web apps, and workflow automation — including this site, which is hand-built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

GIS is where I learned to work with real-world data and turn messy inputs into something reliable. It's the foundation, not the ceiling — the same skills (Python, APIs, data processing, problem solving) are what this automation work is built on.
