About

I like making complicated work feel simple.

I'm Mac, a software engineer focused on efficient systems and real-world constraints. My work spans PDF processing, workflow automation, AI-assisted tools, integrations, and modern web applications.

This site is both a workbench and a record: I publish the architecture decisions, mistakes, and reusable lessons behind the systems I build.

Capabilities

Tools are useful. What I build with them matters more.

These are the technologies and practices I use across project work, prototypes, and structured technical training.

Application development

Building maintainable web applications and APIs around real business workflows.

  • Python
  • TypeScript
  • Next.js
  • Django
  • FastAPI
  • REST APIs

AI engineering

Hands-on project work and structured training in designing useful, controlled AI features.

  • Copilot agent creation
  • OpenAI API integration
  • GPT-4.1
  • RAG prototypes
  • Prompt and context design
  • Structured outputs

Automation and platforms

Turning repetitive, document-heavy processes into traceable and reliable systems.

  • Copilot Studio
  • Power Apps
  • Workflow automation
  • Document processing
  • System integration
  • Validation and fallbacks
