Stan Hammett AI-Native Builder

I turn messy, manual processes into AI-guided systems people actually use — using AI as a force multiplier to ship what normally takes a team. I think in systems and plain language, lead through outcomes, and can prove every claim on this page.

The Platform

An internal AI platform, shipped and adopted

At Epiq, I designed and built an AI platform that turned recurring, hour-consuming manual work into guided tasks — now used daily across every role on a legal-operations team.

15+guided tools,
one platform

5roles using

01 · Adoption

Guided, not prompted

A role-based palette of tools where users pick a task and answer a few fields — no prompt-writing required. That's why frontline staff actually adopted it.

02 · Intelligence

A domain expert, not a generic one

Grounded in the organization's own data, schemas, and methodology — a GitHub Copilot replacement tuned to the team's real work, with no custom model to train or host.

03 · Safety

Safety as a guarantee

Destructive actions are previewed and reversible, and every AI-generated query is verified against the live database before it runs — so it can't act on data that doesn't exist.

04 · Reliability

Cost- and failure-aware

The platform shifts between AI providers by workload and fails over automatically when one is unavailable — so work never stalls and costs stay controlled.

Measured Impact

Hours of manual work, now minutes

Every tool replaces a recurring task that used to be done by hand. Same work, a fraction of the time.

Beyond the Day Job

AI infrastructure, built from the metal up

I don't just use AI — I run it. A self-designed, fully offline stack for training and serving my own models.

Multi-GPU inference platform

A self-hosted workstation running simultaneous image, video, audio, code, and 3D inference on one GPU set and open-weight LLM inference (vLLM, Ollama) on another — fully offline, no external dependencies or third-party data sharing.

Custom model training

Hand-trained diffusion models on a from-scratch PyTorch + diffusers + xformers stack in WSL/CUDA — tuned per project to eliminate generic "AI slop," including person-specific models that replace ongoing photoshoots for real campaigns.

On-network personalized LLMs

Self-hosted open-weight language models serving individual users, with per-user guardrails, memory, and context profiles layered over a shared base model.

Interconnected game systems

150+ page design documents across three projects — meticulously specifying how gameplay systems, economies, and progression mechanics interconnect and function.
