Experience
Co-Founder & Engineer
2025 – Present
GTLLco — AI Infrastructure Startup · Charleston, SC (Remote)
- Write Python automation scripts that eliminate manual operational steps across the studio's pipelines (lead intake, outreach, onboarding) — replacing copy-paste work with scheduled, logged jobs.
- Prototype agentic AI workflows on an in-house agent mesh: LLM-driven agents that retrieve context, make multi-step decisions, and execute tasks autonomously.
- Integrate LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible) with cross-provider model-routing and fallback logic; wire agents to internal systems via REST and webhooks.
- Operate production cloud infrastructure: 40+ Docker containers behind a Traefik reverse proxy with SSL and self-hosted Supabase (Postgres + Auth) on a Linux VPS.
- Connect internal tooling — Notion, Stripe, Resend, n8n — into automated cross-system workflows.
