I help founders and operators ship custom AI systems and keep Unix/Linux infrastructure reliable.

Book a session

I am an AI developer and designer building Canada Paywall (canadapaywall.com): captive-portal Wi-Fi billing, proxy/security stacks, and custom RAG/LLM systems for real businesses. I also work hands-on with Unix/Linux systems administration.

Startup and SME founders, technical leaders, and operators get practical AI and ops help — architecture advice, implementation critique, and troubleshooting they can act on the same day. I use AI tooling as an accessibility accommodation so I can keep shipping despite severe bilateral carpal tunnel.
