AI Solutions Builder

I build AI-powered products end-to-end. Two years on the localization pipeline at Simple Life App — went from ~20 to 300–500 videos a week across 12 languages, ~95% less manual work. In parallel: a RAG platform with 348 articles published, an editorial outlet (CUE35) that runs itself, 15+ internal Telegram bots. Use Claude Code daily, plus MCP when the model needs real tool access.
