AI product experience

Recent hands-on work designing and shipping software with large language models, retrieval, and agent workflows. These four builds sit on top of the enterprise data practice above: privacy controls in front of the model, tools for facts that should stay in a database, and products that still run when a cloud model is unavailable.

CivicPocket

Public-assistance finder for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and federal programs. A local eligibility wizard, plus an optional Vertex AI assistant that only sees text after common PII is stripped.

RE Enterprise Architecture RAG

LangGraph agent over Mecklenburg County tax and sales records and North Carolina license-law notes. Policy questions use retrieval; parcel and sale questions use SQL tools.

Rootloop

iPhone-first habit tracker for a household. Local accounts, custom habits, a reporting heatmap, and file or QR sharing. Data stays on the device in SQLite, with no cloud database.
