What to verify first

Target rolesSolutions Engineer, Implementation Engineer, Customer Engineer, and technical support roles where customer reality meets product truth.
Strongest proofJobPilot: a public, human-in-the-loop Python pipeline for ATS sourcing, fit scoring, tailored materials, local state, and honest automation boundaries. This site: a live Next.js research system with generated data, source provenance, and verified route/UI passes.
Customer-site proofField service engineer for enterprise hardware deployments across the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU; BMS integration, commissioning, demos, live-site service calls.
Build stackPython, TypeScript, Next.js, React, Playwright/CDP, SQLite, API integrations, browser automation, and human-in-the-loop LLM tooling.

Why it translates

I have lived the handoff

The field-service years were customer site, trade coordination, commissioning, service calls, and demos under live deadline pressure.

I keep automation honest

JobPilot automates sourcing, scoring, and drafting, but keeps human review before submission as a design boundary.

I can show the work

The proof is public where possible: case studies, live demos, and source links instead of inflated metrics.

Proof

Merge Monitorworking local

A local coordination board for AI coding agents. Keeps shared goals, decisions, questions, and handoffs in one local workspace. MCP and terminal clients exchange context and record acknowledgment separately from resolution. A real pilot demonstrated a request, verification, and completed handoff between agents.
