AI Engineering, Automation, LLM Pipelines & Cybersecurity
La Jolla, California
I am an AI engineer focused on building practical, production-ready automation systems. I specialize in voice agents, LLM pipelines, and multi-agent workflows that solve real business problems.
As founder of Answer Bay AI, I design and deploy production AI-powered voice agents that handle inbound calls, qualify leads, and capture job details for HVAC and other small businesses. See the full case study in Projects.
I hold a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and an MBA, and I am currently advancing my expertise in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity while studying for a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence. I am especially interested in reliable, secure AI systems that companies can actually put into production.
