I ‘m a full-stack AI engineer who builds systems that think, learn, and adapt. My name is Lannon, and I specialize in Python, cloud infrastructure, and production AI systems. From evaluating large language models to architecting document intelligence pipelines on Azure, I build tools that turn complex data into clear, actionable insight. Currently, I’m engineering AI-powered legal tech at Sweet James, where I design end-to-end systems spanning OCR, RAG, and workflow automation.
From Projects to Production
I’ve gone from building robotics analytics platforms and NLP-powered education tools to engineering production AI systems at scale. My stack spans Flask, AWS, Azure, Supabase, and n8n workflow automation. I architect document intelligence pipelines, build RAG-powered demand letter generators, and design citation verification systems — all shipped to production and used daily by legal professionals.
