Turning messy operations
into intelligent systems.
I'm James — ten years in accounting, a TripleTen Data Science certification, and a SavvyCoders Full Stack certificate. These days I build internal operating systems where finance, data engineering, and AI orchestration meet. Currently rebuilding back-office ops at Day & Night Solar across 170+ commercial projects in 15 states.
-
Automate finance operations
QuickBooks IIF generation, bank reconciliation engines, AR/AP pipelines — replacing manual work with safe, auditable automation.
-
Engineer data platforms
FastAPI + SQLAlchemy services, Postgres-ready schemas, ETL from SAGE/CMiC/QuickBooks into something you can actually query.
-
Orchestrate AI workflows
Multi-agent Claude Code setups, tiered cloud + local LLM routing, OCR + classification for document intelligence.
Currently building
Six systems that make up the internal operations platform at Day & Night Solar. Each one replaces a spreadsheet, a folder of PDFs, or a manual QuickBooks workflow.
-
Finance Platform
In DevPython/FastAPI + SQLAlchemy service layer designed for Postgres migration. Replaces a spreadsheet-centric close process with a query-able operational database.
