Enterprise-grade AI & UX,
built at human scale.
I help growing businesses design and deploy custom AI solutions and high-performing web experiences—without the bloated agency retainer.
With deep roots in UX, front-end code, and accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA & EAA), I embed directly with your team to deliver intelligent, accessible products that big consultancies take quarters to plan.
AI That Actually Ships
Custom, pragmatic AI workflows and interface integration—designed with front-end rigor, not speculative slide decks.
Built-in Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility fixed in your source code, tested by tool and by hand—never fragile overlay widgets.
Direct Senior Embedding
No account managers or handoff friction. Just senior design and development firepower working directly inside your team.

Three Core Pillars to Protect & Scale Your Firm
Focused high-value outcomes engineered to remove verified accessibility barriers, capture high-intent inbound demand, and remove manual admin friction.
WCAG 2.2 AA & EAA Code Remediation
Accessibility overlays don't fix the underlying code and often fail real assistive-tech users. I audit and refactor your actual front-end components (React, Vue, HTML) to remove verified WCAG 2.2 AA barriers, while improving Core Web Vitals.
- Direct front-end code & component remediation
- Zero keyboard traps, focus, or ARIA defects
- Sub-second Core Web Vitals & mobile ergonomics
Bespoke AI Intake & Qualification Portals
Replace leaky contact forms and manual email back-and-forth with intelligent, accessible client intake flows. Automatically qualify leads, collect documents upfront, and book high-value consultations directly into your calendar.
- 24/7 client pre-screening & eligibility triage
- Automated document collection & CRM sync
- Accessible, frictionless mobile booking UX
Custom AI Workflows & Accessible Component Kits
From automated document/invoice extraction and intelligent inquiry routing to accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA) Figma and React design systems, I deploy pragmatic AI tools and front-end architecture directly inside your team.
- Automated document parsing & intelligent routing
- Accessible Figma & React component kits, tested against WCAG 2.2 AA
- Human-in-the-loop AI with zero vendor lock-in
