Spring AI Developer — Senior, Veteran-Led, Available
I am a senior AI developer in Spring, 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, Spring buyers served remote with in-person discovery available.
Spring as a buyer market for AI developer work
Springwoods Village, Klein, Old Town Spring, the I-45 / Hardy Toll Road corridor — Spring is the northern Harris County anchor, home to the ExxonMobil campus and a major energy-sector commuter population. The dominant verticals are ExxonMobil-anchored energy operators in the Springwoods Village corridor, Spring ISD and Klein ISD-anchored education businesses, healthcare practices along I-45, mid-market accounting and professional services.
What I ship as a Spring 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 Spring vertical the buyer operates in — ExxonMobil-anchored energy operators in the Springwoods Village corridor, Spring ISD and Klein ISD-anchored education businesses, healthcare practices along I-45, mid-market accounting and professional services each have their own compliance posture, deploy posture, and procurement posture.
Who hires me as a Spring AI Developer
Buyers across ExxonMobil-anchored energy operators in the Springwoods Village corridor, Spring ISD and Klein ISD-anchored education businesses, healthcare practices along I-45, mid-market accounting and professional services. The credential stack — 25 years computer science, B.S. CS from the University of Houston, U.S. Army veteran — registers consistently across Spring verticals. The single-principal accountability is the load-bearing differentiator: the engineer in the scoping call is the engineer writing the code.
How a Spring engagement is scoped
Scoping call (free, 30 minutes). Written specification (1-2 weeks, paid). Two-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each. Pest tests alongside features. Handover with runbook and 30-day post-launch support window. In-person discovery available in the Spring metro on request.
The national AI developer page
The AI developer practice across the country, with the full scope detail, lives on the AI Developer for Hire page. This page is the Spring-specific entry — same practice, same engineer, Spring-anchored copy.
Are you available for Spring engagements?
Yes — one engagement at a time, fully present. In-person discovery in the Spring metro is available on request; day-to-day work is remote-friendly.
What is your hourly rate?
Bespoke, scoped per engagement, written into SOW before contract. Pricing depends on engagement shape — hourly retainer, fixed-scope project, or agency white-label all have different rate cards. The scoping call produces a written total before anything is signed.
Do you work with ExxonMobil-anchored energy operators in the Springwoods Village corridor buyers in Spring?
Yes — that is one of the largest Spring verticals I work in. The engagement shape adapts to the compliance, deploy, and procurement constraints specific to ExxonMobil-anchored energy operators in the Springwoods Village corridor.
How is this different from the national AI developer page?
Same practice, same engineer, same engagement shape — Spring-anchored. This page exists for buyers searching by city; the national page lives at /ai-developer with the full role scope detail.
