John Zapanta — Systems & AI Engineer

I'm a systems builder focused on AI-powered automation and data intelligence. Most of my work lives in the gap between a messy operational problem and a clean, dependable system that solves it — assistants that draft and decide, pipelines that pull and reconcile data, and dashboards that surface the one thing a team actually needs to act on.

I work end to end: scoping the problem, wiring the integrations, designing the data flow, and putting it in production with the guardrails to keep it running. The stack shifts to fit the job — LLM APIs and Python for the intelligent parts, Node and Next.js for the interfaces, headless browsers and APIs for the data — but the throughline is the same: turn repetitive, error-prone work into something that runs on its own.
