Tabari Brannon · Solo AI Engineer

I build AI systems and automation that actually work.

Solo engineer. Production systems. No fluff. I help small and mid-size businesses automate operations, build data pipelines, and deploy AI tools—end to end, by myself, with no handoffs.

The problem

Your business runs on duct tape and spreadsheets.

You know there's a better way. Your team spends hours on manual data entry that should be automated. You have data everywhere but can't get a clear picture. You've heard AI can help, but you don't know where to start—and you can't afford to hire wrong.

  • Manual processes eating up your team's time and attention
  • Data trapped in silos—spreadsheets, legacy tools, different systems that don't talk to each other
  • No in-house developer to build the tools you actually need
  • Agencies that charge enterprise prices for junior-level work
What I do

Four things, done right.

I don't offer 20 service lines. I focus on four areas where I have deep, production-tested expertise.

AI & Automation

LLM-powered tools, RAG systems, chatbots, n8n workflows, and API integrations that eliminate manual work. I build the thing that replaces the spreadsheet, the copy-paste, the "we've always done it this way."

OpenAI · LangChain · RAG · n8n · Twilio · Webhooks

Data Pipelines & Analytics

ETL automation, dashboards, database design, and reporting systems. I take your scattered data and turn it into something you can actually make decisions with.

Python · PostgreSQL · Power BI · Tableau · Prefect · BigQuery

Custom Software

Web applications, API development, CI/CD pipelines, and production deployment. When off-the-shelf tools don't fit, I build what does—and make sure it runs reliably.

Flask · Django · FastAPI · Node.js · Docker · GitHub Actions · Azure

ML & Data Science

Predictive models, statistical analysis, NLP, and model deployment. I build models that answer real business questions and put them into production where they do actual work.

scikit-learn · pandas · Streamlit · pgvector · MLOps · Azure ML
How I work

No frameworks. No handoffs. Just building.

I'm one person who handles the entire lifecycle. You get a senior engineer from start to finish—not a project manager who farms it out.

01

You tell me the problem

We talk about what's broken, what you need, and what success looks like. No 40-page discovery document.

02

I scope it and quote it

You get a clear proposal with timeline, deliverables, and cost. Small projects: 1–2 weeks. Larger builds: 4–8 weeks.

03

I build and deploy it

I write the code, set up the infrastructure, test it, and put it into production. You see progress throughout.

04

I hand it off

You get documentation, training, and a system you can run without me. Ongoing support available if you want it.

Selected work

What I've built.

Real projects. Real systems in production. Not strategy decks.

Custom ERP System

Built an ERP from scratch for a coworking space—financial management, member lifecycle tracking, access control, room reservations, and real-time analytics. Supported 88 members and $209K annual revenue.

Python · Flask · PostgreSQL · REST APIs · Tableau

AI Knowledge Infrastructure

Personal knowledge system with PostgreSQL + pgvector, custom MCP server with 4 tools, embedding pipelines, and semantic search. Ingested and indexed 9,890 records from multiple sources.

Node.js · Supabase · pgvector · OpenAI · MCP Protocol

RAG Chatbot for Operations

Production-ready AI chatbot using RAG architecture for natural language querying across 5 business domains. Included hyperparameter-tuned ML models achieving 94.8% accuracy.

Python · LangChain · scikit-learn · OpenAI · RAG

Automated Lead Nurturing

Designed n8n automation workflows integrating Twilio SMS, Mailchimp email campaigns, Airtable lead scoring, and HubSpot CRM. Consolidated 5,000+ leads into a unified pipeline.

n8n · Twilio · Mailchimp · HubSpot · Airtable

CI/CD & DevOps Pipelines

Built CI/CD pipelines for internal applications using Docker containerization, GitHub Actions workflows, and Azure deployment. Eliminated manual deployment processes.

Docker · GitHub Actions · Azure · CI/CD

ETL & Data Pipeline Automation

Engineered automated ETL processes that eliminated manual data entry across agricultural operations. Built data pipelines with Prefect orchestration and fuzzy-logic matching systems.

Python · Prefect · Selenium · pandas · Azure
