I build production AI systems that connect business outcomes to working software. Today I lead workrr.ai, an OpenAI partner practice using OpenAI and Codex as primary delivery harnesses, with Cloudflare as the control plane for applications, data, orchestration, security, observability, and private or hybrid inference.

My credibility comes from operating at scale, not AI vocabulary. I built a national recovery company to $65M in revenue, 20 locations, and 2,000+ people; built a technology spinout to $30M+ before acquisition; and have since led SaaS modernization, cloud migrations, multi-million-dollar integrations, communications systems, and AI-enabled products.

Current proof includes Reclaira.ai, an AI collections and AR application built for Paramount Billing Solutions, and GlassMaster, an AI corporate-operations system built for 2U Glass & Tint. They solve very different problems with the same discipline: OpenAI capability, Cloudflare-native production architecture, governed workflows, human accountability, and systems that connect to how a company actually operates.

  • Built on a serverless, edge-native Cloudflare stack (Workers, Workers AI, D1, R2, Queues, Workflows) with provider-agnostic model routing across major and open-source models.

Current
workrr.ai
Founder | Chandler, Arizona
  • Lead an OpenAI partner practice that turns models, agents, retrieval, tools, multimodal inputs, and structured outputs into governed production systems.
  • Use OpenAI and Codex as primary delivery harnesses, with Cloudflare providing application compute, gateway control, durable state, storage, orchestration, identity, and observability.
  • Wire ERP/AR, billing, payment processor, bank feed, email, and dispute data into a private catalog — the single source behind a Work Queue, Cash Forecast, and Account Risk app.
  • Lead product strategy, technical architecture, and implementation across Cloudflare Workers, Workers AI, AI Gateway, Vectorize, D1, R2, KV, Queues, Workflows, and Durable Objects.
  • Design three clear deployment boundaries: OpenAI-led solutions, OpenAI governed through Cloudflare, and private or hybrid inference where data handling requires tighter control.
  • Designed agent workflows with human-in-the-loop approvals so automated outreach and risk scoring stay accountable to finance and audit.
