I find the problems before your customers do, then fix the process.

Implementation, UAT and process improvement, with 8 years in bank operations and QA leadership on Madden and Elder Scrolls Online. Since 2025 I've been building AI products end to end as a non-engineer, and testing them like production software.

What I've built since 2025

I write the requirements, direct the AI, and test everything it produces. AI output fails in ways that look correct until somebody checks, and checking is the part I'm best at.

Turns written scripts into finished, consistently branded short videos.

Stack
Python, SQLite, FFmpeg, local AI models.

Stained glass pattern generator

Text prompt in, buildable glass pattern out.

The defect
The language model produced coordinates that looked right but didn't close into cuttable shapes.
The fix
Re-architected the pipeline: an image model makes the picture, then deterministic code traces the contours. Each tool does what it's reliable at.

Gridiron Legends

Browser football RPG with creature teams.

My role
Wrote the full game-design bible and playable prototypes. Playtested, found the core loop felt like a generic mobile game, and re-scoped it around turn-based play with friends.

Two published novels

A comic fantasy series on Amazon KDP and Kindle Unlimited.

The pipeline
Series bible, AI drafting, multi-pass editing rubrics and beta-reader feedback rounds. I directed and edited every pass.
