About Me
I'm a software engineer based in the South Hills of Pittsburgh with over a decade in the industry, most of it in FinTech. I've led teams of engineers building and optimizing some of the largest financial platforms in the world. The kind of systems where performance and reliability aren't nice-to-haves, they're everything.
I started Pittsburgh AI Solutions because I kept seeing the same thing in my own neighborhood. I'd hire a contractor who did incredible work, but when I tried to find them online later, or refer them to a friend, there was nothing. No website, no Google listing, no way to find them unless you already knew them. Meanwhile, their competitors with mediocre work were getting all the calls because they actually showed up in search results.
At the same time, I was watching AI change everything in the enterprise world. The tools that used to cost millions and require huge teams are now accessible to anyone. A local plumber can have an AI chatbot answering customer questions at 10 PM. A mid-size company can automate half their back-office workflows in a weekend. The technology is there. Most businesses just need someone to show them how it applies to what they do.
That's what I do. Whether you're a one-person shop that needs a website, or a company with 200 employees trying to figure out where AI fits into your operations, I can help. I've built systems at scale and I've built systems from scratch. Same approach either way: sit down, understand the problem, build something that actually works.
What I bring to the table
Over a decade in software
Full-stack engineering, architecture, and team leadership. I've built everything from customer-facing apps to the infrastructure underneath them.
FinTech background
Most of my career has been in financial technology, working on platforms that handle serious volume. I know what it takes to build reliable, performant systems.
Led engineering teams
I've managed and mentored teams of engineers, which means I know how to scope work, set priorities, and actually deliver on time. Not just write code, but ship results.
AI and automation
I've been hands-on with AI tooling since before it was trendy. I know what works, what's hype, and where the real value is for businesses of any size.
Who I work with
Local trades and contractors
Plumbers, electricians, roofers, deck builders, landscapers. If you do great work but nobody can find you online, I'll fix that. I live in the South Hills and I've probably hired someone just like you.
Small and mid-size businesses
If your team is spending hours on things that could be automated, or you're curious about AI but don't know where to start, that's exactly what the workflow audit is for. I'll show you what's worth doing and what's just noise.
Larger companies
Need someone who's actually led engineering teams and optimized large-scale platforms? I can help you figure out your AI strategy, evaluate tools, and build what you need. Same straight talk, just bigger problems.

I'm always happy to grab coffee, hop on a call, or just trade emails. Tell me what you're working on and I'll give you my honest take.
