“I've been building since I was twelve, starting with robots. I studied AI because I believed it would one day be the most powerful tool in any field, once the models were good enough. That day has arrived, and now I want to put what I've built in people's hands.”
I build everything myself, from research and data pipelines to the apps people use. Before going independent I
was a Generative AI Engineer at Amazon in Seattle. A search engine I prototyped on my own grew into a dedicated
product team, and I built coding agents that migrate large systems between programming languages.
Taliaferro Technologies is where years of experiments become tools for everyone. My first AI legal assistant for Panamanian law, built in 2023, grew into ForsetiLex. ScarlettOS is the assistant I always wanted: one that lives on your own devices and speaks both of the languages my household speaks.
