## Summary
I'm an AI and automation developer based in Nashville. I build AI agents and agentic workflows that help businesses get work done, including voice agents that answer the phone. I also build websites and apps, automate repetitive work, and improve systems that aren't working as they should. My work includes payments, subscription products, and AI search over business documents. I work directly with clients from the initial discussion through testing and handover.

## Highlights
- Automating repetitive work: I connect the software a business already uses so information moves between systems with less manual work, and make errors visible when an automatic process fails.
- Building AI agents: I give an AI agent access to a business’s records and tools, with clear limits on what it may read or change and a record of what it did.
- Repairing existing software: I investigate what is there and work through the fixes, including security, payments, broken features, and the documentation needed to keep it running.
- Building websites and applications: I define the first useful release with you, then work through the interface, accounts, payments, data, and other pieces it needs.

## Experience
### Founder, Epiphany Dynamics (Dec 2025 to Present)
Nashville, TN (remote-first). My AI and automation business.
- Build AI texting and phone agents and an AI editorial pipeline for clients including Mano Swartz Furs, Emergency Dentist LLC, and SGNews, plus payment automation for Hometown Stream.
- Develop subscription applications, AI assistants, payment flows, and integrations around the client’s existing workflow.
- Repair inherited applications with access-control audits, data-integrity checks, regression coverage, and release validation.
- Provide source code, operating documentation, and client-owned service accounts as part of delivery.
- Build and maintain my business’s own education tools, an AI readiness quiz, and publishing workflows where AI drafts and I review before anything goes live.

## Selected engagements
### Mano Swartz Furs (Heritage retail) · AI operations
I built software and AI agents for Mano Swartz Furs' nationwide fur-buying program: a texting agent that checks photos and drafts replies, and voice agents that answer calls.
Stack: Next.js 15, Bun, Neon Postgres, Drizzle, Vercel, Twilio SMS/MMS/Voice/SIP, Retell, Vapi, Claude vision, OpenAI embeddings, Google Sheets & Drive APIs
- Built seven connected systems, including an AI texting agent whose reply drafts learn from the owner’s edits, AI voice agents, offer follow-up, returns, and alerts.
- Covered the operating system with 1,627 passing automated tests across 63 files, recorded in September 2026; delivered 20,054 customer photos back into the client’s own Drive and manages 689 intake records across 491 callers.
- The main-line AI voice agent reached version 74 through published prompt revisions.
