Intelligence & Infrastructure
AI Document Intelligence
Private, secure AI search engines (RAG) that instantly extract precise answers from messy manuals, contracts, and legacy documents. I build deterministic retrieval pipelines with zero hallucinations, grounding every response in your actual data, not guesses.
Cloud & Data Infrastructure
Audit, containerize, and automate your cloud infrastructure with Docker/K8s orchestration and high-performance ETL pipelines. I've helped teams slash their AWS spend by 40–70% while eliminating brittle legacy integrations and manual deployment bottlenecks.
Engagement Models

Custom AI & MVPs
First results in 1 week. Strategy, architecture, and a working production-ready prototype. I deliver faster than bloated agencies because you work directly with an elite engineer.
Forward-Deployed Eng.
The scalable extension of your team. Full system ownership. Significantly lower risk and cost than hiring a domestic Senior Dev + PM, but with infinitely higher architectural quality than offshore shops.

Read Case Study →Built in Montrose. Built for Texas.
I'm a Houston-born engineer named after the neighborhood where ideas have always moved faster than convention. Montrose has been the creative heartbeat of Houston for over a century, a place where independent thinkers and builders have always done things differently.
That spirit is in my DNA. I chose the name Montrose Labs because I believe the best technology is built close to the people it serves. I understand the industries that power this state: energy, logistics, healthcare, hospitality, because I live here. Not a remote vendor on the coasts. Your neighbor, building for Texas first.
