mrobbieb exists to help people and small businesses solve real technical problems without long contracts or confusing tech jargon. I’m Martin Baker — a solutions architect based in Houston, Texas with 15+ years in software and data engineering.
Find me on LinkedIn and GitHub.
What I Bring
- 15+ years in software and data engineering
- Deep experience with Snowflake, SQL/BI, and secure data pipelines
- Architect of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and multi-agent systems on modern LLM stacks
- Strong focus on evaluation frameworks, observability, and safety
- Built and supported systems that run under real business pressure
Tools & Stack
The tools I reach for most:
AI & RAG
- Python, FastAPI, LangChain
- PostgreSQL + pgvector
- OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama
- RAGAS for evaluation
WordPress & Backend
- WordPress (custom plugins, blocks, REST API)
- Symfony, PHP
- Apache, nginx, Digital Ocean
- Docker, Linux
Data Engineering
- Snowflake, dbt
- SQL, PostgreSQL
- Python data pipelines
- BI and analytics layers
How I Work
I don’t chase hype. I care about clear problem definition, systems that survive real users and real data, measurable outcomes, and long-term maintainability. Clients work with me when they want AI that ships, scales, and doesn’t become a liability six months later.
My approach is direct: I’ll tell you when AI isn’t the right tool, when a simpler solution exists, and when a project has risks worth addressing before writing a line of code.
What I’m Currently Exploring
My current focus areas include multi-agent orchestration patterns, evaluation-driven RAG development (using RAGAS and custom frameworks), and the WordPress 7.0 AI infrastructure — particularly how the new Connectors API intersects with production security requirements. I’m also exploring off-grid renewable systems through my work at rv.energy, which keeps me grounded in building things that work outside perfect lab conditions.
Beyond Work
When I’m not building AI systems, I explore renewable technology and mobile living through my venture, experimenting with solar, batteries, and off-grid systems. It keeps me grounded in building things that work outside perfect lab conditions.
If you care about building AI that holds up in the real world, we’ll probably work well together. Get in touch.
