Why engineer-built, not agency-built.
// The honest readSeven years designing electrical systems in Luanda before I wrote my first line of Python. Buildings go dark when an electrical engineer is sloppy. You learn redundancy, fault tolerance, and predictable failure modes early, or you find a different career.
That discipline transfers. Production AI is engineering, not prompting. Most agencies stitch templates and ship demos. The systems break at 10x volume because nobody built monitoring, error budgets, or fallback paths. I write production Python with explicit success metrics, drift detection, and runbooks the operator can read at 3 AM.
You own the code. Full handover, no platform lock-in, no proprietary dashboard you cannot access without my login. If we part ways tomorrow, you keep operating.
