//AI Builds

Client work shows impact; these show range. Production-grade AI products built end to end — hand-rolled Claude tool loops, MCP servers, deterministic eval harnesses, cost telemetry — open source, with the architecture decisions written down. Every number below comes from a real eval run.

Venue Insights — conversational BI with a grounded AI analyst

A business-intelligence dashboard where the AI analyst sees what you see. Filter a 50-location portfolio, ask about any chart, and every answer is grounded in live database tool calls — with each conversation metered to the microdollar.

  • Hand-rolled Claude tool loop on the raw Anthropic SDK — streaming, parallel tool execution, error recovery, deliberately no framework.
  • One tool implementation, two transports: the in-app loop and a stdio MCP server that Claude Desktop can attach to — zero schema duplication.
  • Deterministic generative UI — the model only picks tools and arguments; a typed React component registry renders the results. Testable, XSS-safe.
  • Evals + observability: 24 golden cases scored by deterministic scorers; OpenTelemetry GenAI spans feed a live cost dashboard and a daily budget circuit-breaker.

AskNearby — natural-language store locator for franchise chains

A white-label locator where you just say what you're looking for — “a men's department and free parking near Columbus” — and get a synced map and list. The architectural bet: the AI is a query translator, not an answer generator, so hours, addresses, and distances can never be hallucinated.

  • One forced tool call (Vercel AI SDK) turns a sentence into a zod-validated typed query — the attribute enum is generated from the database, so the model can't invent filters.
  • Deterministic downstream: Postgres + PostGIS answers; the parsed query renders as removable chips whose edits re-run the search without ever touching the model.
  • Swappable by design: Claude ↔ Gemini, Google Maps ↔ MapLibre — each a one-env-var change behind ports-and-adapters boundaries.
  • Cost armor: per-IP rate limits and a daily AI budget breaker enforced in Postgres; evals scored field-by-field with no LLM judges.

//Profile

Anthony Boffman
boffman.webp — SAN_DIEGO_CA

I'm a Senior Fullstack Engineer with 6+ years building and scaling data-driven web applications across PHP and the modern JavaScript ecosystem. At Qualtrics I own projects end to end — from backend services and REST/GraphQL APIs to the React frontends they power — on a SaaS platform serving enterprise brands at high traffic.

My specialty is the unglamorous, high-stakes work: migrating legacy systems to modern, maintainable architectures without breaking what's already in production. Incremental re-architecture, containerized environments, standardized CI/CD — reliability as a feature.

I treat AI as a force multiplier across the whole lifecycle — code generation, review, test scaffolding, refactoring — while keeping human judgment on architecture and product. This site is the proof: hand-built, zero frameworks, shipped with AI in the loop.

The rest of the job is people: mentoring engineers through code review and pair programming, and translating requirements into software that ships.
