Open for Q3–Q4 2026 · contract · fractional · full-time
Design engineer who ships AI products to enterprise standards. I make B2B software feel consumer-grade, and I have been integrating OpenAI and Anthropic directly since 2023: under HIPAA, alongside CEOs, at Fortune 100 review quality.
For founders and product teams
RAG platforms, multi-model interfaces, and direct OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini integration, shipped as product rather than demo. Cost observability comes built in (token-level tracking, spend caps, model routing) so the AI line item is never a mystery. HIPAA and GDPR-aware practice, with a working demo in front of you inside the first week.

For marketing, brand, and studio teams
The centerpiece a launch points at: interactive 3D, scroll-driven storytelling, product moments built to be shown off. Motion inside your brand system, performance treated as the medium, and a build that survives enterprise review rounds without surgery. Weeks, not quarters.

For teams whose product needs a craft layer
A standing slice of a senior engineer who owns the craft layer: design-language stewardship, interaction quality, and the frontend architecture underneath it. PRs land inside your conventions from week one; your team keeps velocity and the product keeps its polish.

Not sure which fits? Start with a one-week paid audit of your product's craft layer or your AI spend: fixed price, a findings doc you keep either way, and a scoped plan if you want to keep going.
Your repo, your standards, your design language. I have shipped inside a Fortune 100 company's proprietary internal systems on contract, joined TackleAI's incubation alongside its leadership, and spent five years absorbing new client codebases at agency pace. Week one looks like this:
The toolchain is AI-native too: agents run in my daily workflow and in production for clients, and I integrate OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini directly rather than through wrappers.
