Forward deployed engineer. I work with the people who use the software, and I ship the production code.

Case volume went from 128 to roughly 1,200 across 25 law firms while I ran engineering, on calls and on site with the firms, shipping their feedback the same week.
- Agentic core. Tool orchestration, a drafting pipeline, and a medical-chronology engine that turns record sets of up to 10,000 pages into a timeline a paralegal used to spend days on. Per-case cost caps keep a large file from breaking the price.
- Citation grounding. Every extracted fact is bound to the page it came from, and the agent abstains instead of citing something it cannot find. A lawyer will not file what they cannot verify.
- Retrieval. Moved the retrieval layer across three vector stores, with an A/B harness to compare strategies before switching. Legal research over case law and the web, with grounded citations.
- Voice intake agent. Answers personal-injury firms' inbound calls: a 14-step call flow, rules-based lead scoring in under 500 ms to decide a live transfer, and a suite of 50 simulated callers to test every change in batch.
- Enterprise plumbing. Connectors into SharePoint, NetDocuments, Box and Dropbox that keep each firm's permissions, and a document pipeline that resumes after failure instead of restarting.
AI that ships into code I don't own: WebAbility.io (2023 to present)
My own company. Accessibility for 1,697 live sites and 758 businesses, running inside React, Vue and AngularJS apps behind other people's CSPs and CDNs.
- Screen-reader agents. An agent walks a page by its accessibility tree and drives real VoiceOver and NVDA on CI runners, recording what a blind user would hear.
- Code-level fixes. The model layer returns the fix itself, in HTML, JSX or CSS.
- Speed. Cut the widget's first-interaction time from 1,393 ms to 174 ms, because it runs on other companies' pages and counts against their Core Web Vitals.
- Tools for coding agents.
@webability/mcpis a hosted MCP server with 15 tools: scan a URL or HTML, get framework-aware fixes, verify they landed.

Helped lead a finance and procurement migration to Oracle Fusion Cloud, and built the monthly journal pipeline in Python on Azure Synapse, reconciled to the live general ledger.
