Integration engineer. I build software that talks to things that don't want to be talked to: undocumented printer protocols (reverse-engineered from the MIB tree), legacy dBASE formats, and Adobe InDesign driven over COM from a dedicated worker. I've also shipped production LLM tooling: an MCP server and 16 tool-calling plugins against a live business domain. One of two developers at a small production company, where my automation saves about 20 hours a week across 4 departments. Looking for forward-deployed, integration, or applied-AI roles.
