What I build

I'm an AI engineer and full-stack developer specializing in applied generative AI, agentic development systems, and AI-augmented engineering workflows. I've built and deployed applications across the entire stack.

Before software I spent thirteen years as a commercial fisherman across New Jersey, Massachusetts, California, and Alaska — leading crews in safety-critical settings. That background is why I care about systems that hold up under pressure. See experience.

Beyond full-time work, I own and run Crystal Edge Digital LLC, a consultancy that builds web applications, e-commerce sites, native iOS apps, and AI integrations for small businesses — with SEO and performance work on every site.
