"Cameron was exceptionally effective at helping us scope AI correctly - where it adds real value and where rules-based structure is the better solution. His guidance reduced build risk, clarified MVP priorities, and helped our team move faster with more confidence."

My Background
I'm Cameron O'Brien. I build production AI systems.
Voice AI, RAG pipelines, AI-enabled applications. Production systems handling real volume, not demos or pilots. I've built systems processing thousands of calls daily and document pipelines handling complex enterprise data.
But more importantly, I've learned when AI is the wrong answer. When a dropdown beats a chatbot. When rules beat a model. When simple is better.
- Self-hosted voice AI infrastructure (Whisper, vLLM, Kokoro on GPU)
- Full voice pipeline: STT → LLM → TTS with sub-300ms latency
- Production telephony systems (Twilio, SIP, WebSocket streaming)
- RAG pipelines and document AI
- AI scoping and architecture (knowing when NOT to use AI)
- Full-stack development (Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL)
My Approach
Honest assessment first
If AI doesn't make sense for your situation, I'll tell you. I'd rather have no deal than a bad one.
Ship over impress
The goal is production systems that work, not demos that look good. I build for maintainability, not complexity.
Direct access
No junior staff, no account managers, no handoffs. You work directly with the person doing the work.
Pragmatic choices
Sometimes the answer is a dropdown, not a chatbot. Sometimes it's rules, not a model. I'll tell you which.
