AI INTEGRATION

Put AI where it actually helps your product.

Not a demo that impresses for a week, but AI wired into your real software — a chatbot that answers from your own data, a feature that drafts or summarises, a workflow that stops needing a human for the boring part. I connect the OpenAI and Claude APIs into the apps you already run, and make them reliable. Remote, worldwide.

AI features that live inside your product.

The value isn't the model — it's how well it's wired into your data, your app and your workflow. Here's the kind of AI integration I build, with the plumbing done properly.

ASSISTANTS

Chatbots & assistants

Support and internal assistants that answer in your voice — with guardrails, so they help customers instead of inventing answers.

RAG

Answers from your own data

Retrieval over your documents, database or knowledge base (RAG) so the AI responds from your content, with sources — not just the internet.

DOCUMENTS

Document processing & extraction

Reading invoices, contracts, forms and emails — pulling out the structured data your systems need, at a fraction of the manual time.

AUTOMATION

Workflow automation

Drafting, classifying, summarising and routing — the repetitive text work that used to need a person, done as a reliable step in your process.

API

Wired into your app

The AI feature built into your existing .NET or React app and its API — not a separate tool your team has to remember to use. See backend work →

CONTROL

Cost, safety & fallbacks

Token and cost control, prompt-injection care, rate limits and graceful fallbacks — so the feature is safe to put in front of real users.

INCLUDED

What every AI integration includes

An AI feature is only useful if it's reliable, controllable and honest about what it doesn't know. Every build ships with that engineered in.

  • OpenAI / Claude API integration in your app
  • Retrieval over your own data, with sources
  • Prompt design & guardrails against bad output
  • Token & cost controls, with usage visibility
  • Prompt-injection and safety handling
  • Graceful fallbacks when the model is slow or down
  • Clean API layer so you can swap models later
  • Honest limits — where AI helps, and where it shouldn't decide

WHY ME

A software engineer first, using AI as a tool

The hard part of an AI feature isn't calling the API — it's the data access, the app it lives in, and the reliability around it. That's ordinary engineering, and it's what I do.

  • Full-stack: I build the app the AI plugs into, too
  • AI kept behind a clean interface, not scattered everywhere
  • Realistic about what AI should and shouldn't do
  • Your data handled carefully, not sent everywhere
  • Honest scope and a clear quote up front
  • You own all the code and the prompts

From an idea to a reliable AI feature, in five steps.

01

Frame

What the AI should actually do, where it helps, and where a human still decides. We agree the scope honestly — including what's out.

02

Data

Getting the AI access to the right content — your documents, database or knowledge base — cleanly and safely.

03

Build

The prompts, retrieval and API layer, built into your app behind a clean interface, with previews as we go.

04

Guard

Guardrails, cost limits, safety and fallbacks — tested against the messy inputs real users will send.

05

Ship & tune

Release it, watch how it behaves on real use, and refine the prompts and retrieval. See support options →
