Conroe AI Developer — Senior, Veteran-Led, Available
I am a senior AI developer in Conroe, Texas. An AI developer is an engineer who builds AI systems — not just integrating APIs, but training models, building eval harnesses, and shipping production workloads. Single-principal delivery, 25 years in computer science, U.S. Army veteran. Houston-anchored, Conroe buyers served remote with in-person discovery available.
Conroe as a buyer market for AI developer work
Downtown Conroe, Lake Conroe, the I-45 / Loop 336 corridor, the Montgomery County Courthouse complex — Conroe is the Montgomery County seat and the largest city in the northern half of the Houston metro outside The Woodlands. The dominant verticals are Lake Conroe-area service businesses, energy and industrial operators in the I-45 north corridor, Conroe ISD-anchored education businesses, Montgomery County government contractors.
What I ship as a Conroe AI Developer
Custom LLM systems, RAG pipelines, fine-tuning (LoRA, QLoRA), agent workflows, eval harnesses, self-hosted deployment — not third-party API wrappers. The engagement shape adapts to which Conroe vertical the buyer operates in — Lake Conroe-area service businesses, energy and industrial operators in the I-45 north corridor, Conroe ISD-anchored education businesses, Montgomery County government contractors each have their own compliance posture, deploy posture, and procurement posture.
Who hires me as a Conroe AI Developer
Buyers across Lake Conroe-area service businesses, energy and industrial operators in the I-45 north corridor, Conroe ISD-anchored education businesses, Montgomery County government contractors. The credential stack — 25 years computer science, B.S. CS from the University of Houston, U.S. Army veteran — registers consistently across Conroe verticals. The single-principal accountability is the load-bearing differentiator: the engineer in the scoping call is the engineer writing the code.
