AI & Machine Learning — My Focus Today

Where the demand is right now, and where I spend most of my time. All shipped to production.

AI Agents & Agentic Migration

AI agents that do real work — including porting large FHIR/HL7 codebases between clouds with Claude on AWS Bedrock and custom MCP servers, architect-reviewed every pass.

Distributed ML & Deep Learning

LSTM and DeepAR in PyTorch and feature-ranking engines over 200K+ features — distributed across Kubernetes with Ray and KEDA so billions of calculations actually finish.

AI-First Product Engineering

LLM features on Claude — multi-model routing, RAG, MCP, and ML.NET projections — shipped in production SaaS like Grade My Investments.
