Independent software engineering
I'm Brian. I build custom software, connect complex systems, and put AI to work. I turn what your business needs next into something you can actually use.
One engineer. The whole picture.
From the first conversation to what comes next.
01 / The starting point
You don't need a technical specification to start. If you need something built, improved, connected, or automated, I can help turn the problem into a practical plan.
02 / What I build
I bring the frontend, backend, data, and integrations together. The right pieces, built to work as a whole.
Custom software & web applications
I turn specific business needs into intuitive, dependable software. From a customer portal to a full business platform, I build for the people who will use it every day.
AI systems & application integration
I connect AI to the knowledge, tools, and actions that make it useful. Search company knowledge, assist your team, or move work forward with clear permissions and human oversight.
Systems integration & automation
I connect the applications your business relies on and automate the work between them. Reliable APIs and thoughtful workflows keep information moving where it needs to go.
Databases, backend & infrastructure
I design the systems behind the experience: structured data, reliable services, and infrastructure ready for real use. I carry that thinking through deployment, hosting, and ongoing support.
03 / Your next advantage
The opportunity is in the work your team does every day. I build AI into your applications and operations so you can find answers faster, act on better information, and spend less time on repetitive tasks.
I build AI search that finds useful answers in your organization's own information, respects access permissions, and points people back to the source.
Semantic search finds information by meaning. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) gives the model relevant source material. I combine these with permission-aware retrieval and evaluations to check answer quality.
“What do I need to know before this project starts?”
Search approved documents and records
Retrieve only what this person can see
Bring together findings and source references
Less time searching. More context for the next decision.
I connect AI to the applications your team already uses, with carefully scoped tools that can look up information and prepare useful actions.
I build Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and tools, API integrations, and tool-calling agents. Authentication, narrow permissions, input validation, and audit trails define what each tool can do.
“Find this customer's account and prepare the next task.”
Use scoped APIs and authenticated tools
Look up current records in your systems
Ask for approval before a consequential change
Fewer handoffs. Actions grounded in current information.
I build agentic workflows that combine repeatable automation with AI assistance, while keeping people in control of the decisions that matter.
I combine custom agents, deterministic workflow steps, structured outputs, and human approval gates. Retries, observability, and evaluation help make the workflow dependable after launch.
“Review this request and get it to the right person.”
Extract the information the workflow needs
Apply business rules and flag uncertainty
Keep a person involved at the decision point
Less repetitive coordination. Clear points of control.
Practical patterns I can build, illustrated here without live data or AI calls.Selected example: Find the answer.
04 / My process
I stay close to the problem and to the people solving it. You work directly with the engineer designing and building your software.
I start with your goals, your users, and the constraints. A useful conversation comes before a technology choice.
I map the experience and the architecture, define a practical scope, and make the important tradeoffs clear.
I develop in focused increments, share working software, and test along the way. Your feedback shapes the result.
I handle deployment and handoff, then help with hosting, support, and improvements as your needs change.
05 / About Brian
Building applications since
2014.
A long-running curiosity for how things work.
An engineer's drive to make them work better.
Professional software engineering
Full-stack enterprise applications
Independent thinking. End-to-end delivery.
Based in Huntsville, Alabama
I'm a software engineer based in Huntsville, Alabama, and Dioteck is my independent engineering practice. I like understanding how things fit together, then building something that makes them work better.
I've been programming and building applications since 2014, and working professionally in software engineering since 2021. My enterprise experience spans the full delivery lifecycle: requirements, architecture, databases, frontend, backend, testing, deployment, hosting, and support.
My recent focus is enterprise AI engineering: connecting models to real knowledge and applications, with the permissions and reliability that business software needs.
