Core competencies
AI assurance
Validation harnesses, evaluation suites, and monitoring for AI systems in production. Output constraint and specification verification for large language model applications. Behavioral testing and failure analysis before deployment, and logging that turns system behavior into an auditable record.
AI integration
Model selection and implementation for organizations bringing AI into existing operations. Guardrail design, evaluation against stated objectives, and a candid assessment of which functions would benefit from AI and which are better served without it. The founder is the sole engineer behind a production AI platform in a HIPAA-regulated healthcare environment: language model orchestration on Azure, structured output under human review, and retrieval grounded in live clinical systems over HL7 FHIR.
Consulting
We review software architecture and provide independent technical assessment of in-house or vendor systems, technical due diligence for acquisitions and investments, fractional technical leadership, and accessibility audits against Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 with remediation guidance. We also advise on AI strategy and adoption. All findings are delivered in writing.
Software engineering
We develop custom applications across web, mobile, and desktop, with the data layers and infrastructure underneath, and deliver the full lifecycle: design, build, test, ship, and maintain. We modernize existing systems to a tested, instrumented, documented, and accessible standard. The practice draws on fourteen years of engineering, including real-time audio systems and consumer software shipped through App Store review.
Web development
We build accessible, performance-budgeted websites and web applications, with WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 conformance built in from the first commit and verified by measurement. Technical SEO and structured metadata are included, the domain, hosting, and DNS are provisioned in accounts the client owns, and every site degrades gracefully on restricted networks.
Past performance
Docatar
AI-powered software for healthcare practices, in beta with pilot providers. Application and public site designed and built in house.
Sanctuary Alert
A personal-safety iOS application built and shipped to the App Store. Encrypted local storage, cryptographic integrity verification for captured media, and a bilingual interface. Designed, built, and published in house.
Docatar engine
The proprietary engine Docatar runs on, designed, built, and validated in house. It holds a language model to defined limits, sends anything urgent or out of scope to a person, and returns structured results a professional can act on. Automated tests run complete sessions from start to finish and check the result.
Web development
Client and business sites delivered end to end and live today: docatar.com, empoweredsanctuary.com, and skyportvr.com (product sites, the second bilingual and the third with desktop app downloads), timberwolfspinners.com (a manufacturer's catalog and ordering site), empoweredrecordings.com (an audio production studio serving the DC metro area since 2012), marshallsmadnesshotsauce.com (a small-batch storefront with cart and inventory), paraderabreeze.com (a vacation rental in Aruba with booking and direct inquiries), and empoweredintelligencellc.com (this site).
Differentiators
Build and prove, one engagement
We build systems and validate them in the same engagement, so verification is designed in from the start rather than added at the end.
Direct accountability
The firm is founder led and engineer run. The people who sign the proposal are the people who write the code and answer for it.
Published evidence
This website is a working demonstration of the standard: a published performance budget, verified accessibility, and graceful degradation, inspectable by any reviewer at any time.
