AI-first software, without the tech debt.
I'm Liz Pantalone, a Pittsburgh-based software consultant who helps teams build with AI the right way. AI can move your software forward at incredible speed, or quietly bury you in debt. I make sure it's the former.
That ranges from building bespoke, production-grade software for you, to coaching your team on how to fold smart, AI-first practices into their everyday workflow. Same goal either way: ship fast, stay maintainable.

How I Can Help
Bespoke AI-First Software
Full-service design and build. I deliver production-grade software using AI-first practices end to end. Fast to ship, built to maintain, not a demo you have to throw away. Available as a full build or embedded with your team.
Team Coaching & Training
Your team is already using AI. Let's make sure it's making them faster, not burying them in debt. I coach engineers on folding smart, AI-first practices into their everyday workflow, grounded in your actual code.
Rails Specialty
Rails is my home turf, but I work just as often in Python, Node, React, and plenty of other frameworks and platforms. For Rails apps specifically: full-stack development, code audits, and refactoring AI-generated code into something production-ready.
Pittsburgh-Based, Globally Available
Located in Pittsburgh, PA (Eastern Time Zone) and available for remote projects worldwide. I've worked with teams across the world, geographically positioned to work well with teams from the West Coast of the US to the UK.
Let's Work Together
Whether you need software built, a team coached, or just an honest read on where AI fits in your workflow, no job is too small or too big. Tell me where you are and I'll tell you how I can help.
