Open to Junior AI / ML Roles

Christopher Cadger

AI Engineer  ·  App Builder  ·  Problem Solver

I build production AI apps with Claude, Python, and computer vision — shipping real tools that solve real problems.

Honolulu, Hawaii

From Superintendent to AI Engineer

I spent over 25 years managing complex construction projects in Hawaii — coordinating crews, reading technical blueprints, and making high-stakes decisions under pressure. Then I discovered AI engineering and never looked back.

In 2025 I earned my IBM AI Engineering Professional Certificate and immediately started shipping: a Claude-powered skincare app, an AI travel platform with Vision ID verification, an AI legal assistant, an AI farm monitor, an AI job agent, a fraud detection app — and counting.

I bring the discipline of a project superintendent and the curiosity of someone who genuinely loves this field. My background means I understand real-world constraints, not just theory — and I build tools that work in production.
