Shawn Rizo Ring Border

Hi, Iā€™m Shawn Rizo

Software Developer & AI Consultant | AI Agents & Automation | Web3 Builder

I'm a software developer and AI consultant who builds and ships end-to-end software for clients across web and web3, from AI agents and automation to production business applications. I scope the problem, build it, and hand it off so it keeps running without me, owning the architecture, the judgment calls, and the client communication along the way.
