One engineer.
Every layer. Receipts.
Senior / staff Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, or Applied AI roles at voice-AI infrastructure companies, AI-first startups, and frontier labs. Remote-first preferred; open to relocation for the right role.
Why this profile is rare
Most engineers have shipped production code. Very few have found the customer, scoped the problem, built the system, deployed it, operated it, and grown the account — alone, for years, with the revenue graph to show for it. That's the Forward Deployed profile in its literal form: I've been the entire deployment.
The anchor engagement drove a customer from $235,568 to $404,888 in twelve months (+71.9%, verifiable against CRM exports and Google Business Profile insights) on a multi-channel voice-AI pipeline I built solo: raw Twilio Media Streams into the OpenAI Realtime API over hand-managed WebSockets, Amazon Polly neural TTS across eight hand-translated languages, AI structured extraction, 98%+ CRM dedup, and automated job creation. Full case study with receipts.
Range, demonstrated
Beyond voice: multi-tenant SaaS (FastAPI, pgvector, tenant isolation), civic tech shipped in 8 hours, internationalized to 7 languages, and still ingesting events 109 days later, open-source client-side security tooling, an AI engineering cockpit orchestrating local and frontier models, and public-dataset neuroscience analysis. Fourteen years of customer-facing technical work in European automotive diagnostics before founding Mid-Atlantic AI in 2023 — customer-first framing is inherited, not learned.
How I work
Tasteful AI, not gratuitous: every AI feature augments the operator and leaves the human with the judgment call. Methodology discipline carries from the research work into product: pre-registration, kill conditions, documented self-correction. I ship constantly and I finish — the portfolio is the evidence.
Advisory & contract
Not hiring full-time? I take a limited number of consulting and fractional engagements — architecture review, voice-AI buildouts, applied-AI strategy. Same engineer, scoped to your need. Start the conversation.
