ABOUT ME
Building full time
- Jacksonville, Florida
- Building full time since August 2026
- Salaried AI engineering role
- Next.js, Supabase, Python, Swift, MCP
Since August 2026 I have been building full time. I run QuantLab Journal, a multi-user trading journal SaaS, alongside a fleet of live trading bots, an iOS push service, and a review-generation business for local shops.
I work end to end across the stack. Next.js and Supabase for SaaS. Python for bots and agents. Swift when the work needs native iOS. MCP tooling around Claude for research and ops.
I want a salaried AI engineering role where I build production systems. Freelance work and build-in-public content continue on the side. Reach out if the fit is clear.
