    Hey, I&#x27;m Tim, a full stack developer with 13 years of experience building web, mobile and AI apps. I&#x27;ve spent the past year as founding engineer for an AI data startup, designing and building a multi-agent system. I took this project from nothing to delivering for a 7-figure enterprise contract in a matter of months, including: robust chat streaming; a custom data lake with versioned metadata; curation pipelines capable of downloading any public data on the internet; agent workflows that clean data, create metadata and document common query patterns and pitfalls; agents that write code and commit it to source control; an artifact system for on-the-fly interactive charts, maps and dashboard with live data.

    I&#x27;ve taken many projects from conception to production and I can spot potential problems in UX and architecture long before they bite. I take pride in attention to detail and craft, from pleasing frontend interactions to well-organized backends that are ready to scale. I&#x27;m a former journalist and staff writer at the Washington Post, so I&#x27;ve got strong communication skills and can write clear documentation.
