Prompt rules alone had GPT-4o inventing IDs to satisfy them. Moving them into a strict response schema got 8 of 10 structural checks passing. The feature is still in build.

Sole engineer since early 2025 on a pre-revenue M&A integration SaaS, after 6 months paired with a senior engineer.

Looking for a founding or early engineer role at a funded pre-seed to Series A startup with real LLM work. No sponsorship needed, full US-hours overlap. Contractor is fine. Open to a paid 4-week build as a trial.
