Allen J. Blodgett

Summary

Builder and AI systems developer who turns fuzzy problems into shipped AI tools, agents, and automations — and evaluates and hardens them once they're live. Over the past year I architected and shipped an AI-integrated operations platform (conversational AI wired to REST APIs, multi-step n8n and LLM orchestration, MCP tool servers, and intelligent document pipelines), which meant designing and evaluating prompts and confronting real failure modes head-on: hallucination, weak retrieval and grounding, misrouting, and low-confidence responses. Backed by 4+ years in IT and automation with deep root-cause habits, I develop test plans, validate expected-versus-actual behavior before shipping, iterate from results, and translate technical findings into clear, evidence-based recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
