Technical Consulting & Clean Slate Engineering

We eliminate complex technical debt, strip unmanaged infrastructure, and ship production-ready, fully observable architectures using our Clean Slate methodology.

Flagship Rebuild Case Study: Automotive Voice AI Platform Rebuild — complete full-stack refactor, migrating high-latency legacy services to a 5-service monorepo with sub-second API latency, 100% Terraform coverage, and a 99.5% uptime SLA. Read the case study →

ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES

Services Overview

AI Integration & Data Pipelines

Your data is already valuable. I build the highly resilient pipelines, retrieval layers, and semantic storage engines that make it useful to Large Language Models in production.

  • Vector Database implementation (PostgreSQL/pgvector, Qdrant)
  • Structured output workflows via Gemini Pro, Claude 3.5, and OpenAI
  • High-speed semantic caching (Redis) and embedding generation
  • Automated prompt evaluation (Evals) and Golden Dataset benchmarking

Cloud Infrastructure & Modernization

I replace manual cloud configuration and fragile infrastructure with robust, Terraform-managed, reproducible deployments. GCP and AWS engineered to standard, with zero ClickOps allowed.

  • 100% Terraform-codified GCP and AWS infrastructure
  • Secure zero-trust site-to-site networking via Tailscale
  • VPC Service Controls and Workload Identity Federation
  • Multi-environment deployment workflows (Dev/Staging/Prod)

Custom Platform & API Engineering

High-throughput asynchronous Python (FastAPI) backends and accessible Next.js dashboards / React Native frontends built around strict typed standards.

  • Async FastAPI backends with Pydantic structured schemas
  • React Native mobile apps with native offline/background persistence
  • High-performance Next.js admin & telemetry web dashboards
  • Full end-to-end type safety across the entire engineering stack

VMG SYSTEMS

The Clean Slate Protocol

Most engineering platforms fail because of architectural foundation choices, not because of coding skills. We establish rigorous discipline across four core parameters to ensure that what we build thrives on complexity.

Methodology Focus

  • Unified Monorepo Architecture:Consolidating services into a single context. This allows developers and advanced AI coding agents to have full context across UI layers, database definitions, and pipeline workflows, drastically speeding up velocity.
  • Zero-ClickOps Infrastructure (IaC):No configuring things in browser consoles. Every cloud database, firewall rule, storage bucket, or API service account is strictly codified in Terraform. This ensures security, repeatability, and instant environments tear-down.
  • Strict Plan → Act → Validate Loop:Every single feature deployment is designed as a modular spec. No manual commands, no raw hacking in live environments. Every step is automated, evaluated, and validated prior to merge.
  • Inference Regression Testing:We build eval dataset baselines on Day 1. Every model tweak or prompt adjustment is evaluated against test baselines before shipping, ensuring that prompt drift does not degrade user UX.

Technical Standards

01 / Network & Security
Workload Identity Federation, zero shared secret keys in source repos, and secure site-to-site tunnels via Tailscale zero-trust.
02 / Backend Execution
Async Python (FastAPI Engine) with strictly validated Pydantic models for highly predictable structured outputs.
03 / User Interface
Modern, accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA standards), type-safe reactive systems built with Next.js App Router and React Native.
04 / Observability Gateway
Full execution trace telemetry wrapping LLM requests via Langfuse, capturing input, outputs, latency, tokens, and accurate cost metrics on Day 1.

Production Observability on Day 1

Langfuse telemetry is running before your first customer feature ships. Every LLM call, prompt completion, and database fetch is fully traced. When something fails or experiences high latency, you receive slack alerts detailing the exact root cause before users notice.
