Fine's Gallery: AI Operations Agents for Real Work

What began as a single AI operations agent inside Fine's Gallery's AWS organization is now three: an engineering agent, a content agent, and a sales support agent, built from one codebase but isolated down to their runtimes, credentials, and Slack channels. The sales agent works the commercial back office: it reads the company's document archive, briefs staff before customer calls, drafts invoices and replies, and requests payments through the platform's own issuing flow. Staff can now talk to the agents literally: a voice memo dropped in Slack is transcribed server-side and handled like any typed request. Every consequential action still stops at a human approval.

Deployment boundary: Dedicated client environment
Operational capability: Operations, content, engineering, and sales

Art & Commerce

Fine's Gallery Platform Modernization

Fine's Gallery began with a catalog-only website: customers could browse thousands of high-value products, but they could not complete payment online. Sales happened through staff, phone, email, showroom conversations, FileMaker, and disconnected vendor tools. I built the first transactional commerce and operations platform inside the client's own AWS Organization. It now supports millions in annual revenue, including six-figure monthly commerce volume; migrated 28,062 invoices and more than 20 years of operating history without loss or duplicate invoice numbers; and cut over with zero downtime. I continue to operate, maintain, and extend the AWS infrastructure and application after launch.

Annual commerce volume: Millions in annual revenue
User acquisition lift: +40%

Confidential Energy Registry Architecture

Lead architect on a regulated energy-sector certificate registry. Designed and built the replacement for a managed SaaS ledger platform with a client-owned PostgreSQL system. Five database-owned write functions hold the entire authoritative mutation surface. Append-only canonical ledger with a blockchain-style UTXO model and double-entry credit/debit postings, validated by a comprehensive integration test suite against real PostgreSQL.

Authoritative ledger surface: 5 stored functions covering the entire authoritative write surface
Integration test coverage: 100+ integration tests across 8 suites, all against real PostgreSQL

Peter T Conti Consulting Platform

The consulting practice's own site, built as the reference architecture for what the practice sells. Same Next.js + Payload + Postgres + ECS Fargate + Terraform stack as the anchor engagement. STS-only IAM, no long-lived credentials anywhere. Cost-tuned to run for a small fraction of the naive default AWS footprint, with full editorial workflow operated as code.

Stack: Next.js + Payload + AWS ECS + AWS Lambda + RDS Postgres
Infrastructure as code: Full AWS footprint Terraform-managed in modules; CI-only apply
