J Scott Chapman

AI Product Consultant

I build software, ship it, and find out if it actually works. That last part is where most people lose interest.

I work with founders, health-tech companies, and anyone who'd rather have answers than assumptions.

The Short Version

I build products from scratch. Someone describes a problem, I figure out what it actually is (usually different from what they said), then I design the thing, build it, ship it, and measure whether it made any difference. Healthcare platforms, AI systems, data pipelines that start at a sensor on someone's body and end on a doctor's screen. I do all of it because splitting it across departments is a reliable way to build something nobody wants.

Ten years ago I was running fire protection crews at a nuclear plant in South Carolina. Then I taught myself to code and started building software that helps people. The common thread is simple: I like figuring things out, and I'd rather know than guess.

Based in Montana. Working remotely since before it was mandatory.

What I Actually Do

You can hire an agency. They'll be expensive, slow, and no one will own the outcome. Or you can hire a freelancer who codes exactly what you asked for and never once asks if it's the right thing. I do neither. I own the problem until we know whether the solution worked.

AI Product Consulting

You tell me what you want. I figure out what you need. Then I build it, ship it, and hand you the numbers. If the numbers are bad, at least we'll know. That's more than most projects can say.

AI & Machine Learning

Four AWS AI/ML certifications and real experience building agentic systems. I'm interested in what these tools can actually do, not what they look like in a pitch deck.

Healthcare Tech

HIPAA-compliant platforms, medical device data pipelines, clinician dashboards. I've built the whole path from a sensor stuck to someone's arm to a chart a doctor actually uses to make decisions.

Systems That Run Themselves

Automated onboarding, engagement campaigns, multi-provider failover. The best systems are the ones that keep running correctly when nobody's watching. Those are the ones I like building.

Work That Worked

TechFix SMS: Doubling Engagement With Personalized Texts

The brief was: "What if we texted students reminders to study?" That was it. The whole thing.

So I started asking questions. Turned out nobody was tracking which subjects students were actually bad at, the outreach was generic, and nothing scaled. I built a platform that identified each student's weakest area, sent them a personalized training link every morning, and gave admins a dashboard to see all of it in real time. Student engagement doubled.

Morphose: 3D Physical Therapy, HIPAA and All

Physical therapists were handing patients photocopied sheets with stick figures on them and hoping for the best. I built Morphose: a HIPAA-compliant platform with 850+ interactive 3D exercise animations, progress tracking, secure messaging, and therapist dashboards. It replaced a piece of paper with a system that actually shows you how to move your body correctly. It sounds obvious in retrospect. Most good ideas do.

Continuous Glucose Monitor: Device to Dashboard

At Estenda Solutions, I built the visualization layer for a continuous glucose monitor. The device talked BLE to a phone, the phone pushed data to the cloud, and I built what the doctor actually looked at: glucose trends over time, time-series readings, and the clinical context needed to make treatment decisions. It's a surprisingly long journey from a sensor on your arm to a useful chart on a screen. Most of the interesting problems were in the middle.

Get In Touch

I take on a few projects at a time. If you have a real problem and you're genuinely curious whether the solution works, I'm interested. If you need someone to build a thing and never look at the numbers, I'm probably not your guy.
