Solutions Cay Jose Lopez
Fractional AI and software engineering for operational systems.
I'm Jose Lopez. I help teams deal with recurring failures, manual work, and information they cannot trust. Work with me on a monthly retainer for ongoing help.
Services
Work with me.
We start with what slows your team down and what keeps breaking. I work with you to understand the cause and agree on what to fix. The monthly retainer covers the engineering work.
Fractional AI and agent engineering
When your team spends too much time looking up information or repeating the same steps, I help put AI agents to work on those tasks.
- Find answers in the data you already have
- Automate repetitive work
- Keep people in control of consequential actions
- Check failures before they interrupt the work
Legacy system modernization
When reports disagree, people enter the same data twice, or only one person knows how things work, I help find the cause and fix it.
- Find where work gets stuck
- Address recurring errors and manual handoffs
- Keep what works
- Replace what keeps causing problems
The retainer reserves my time each month for ongoing engineering work. For a specific problem, we can start with a paid assessment or a fixed-fee engagement. We can discuss which fits when we talk.
Experience
Selected work.
My work covers purchasing, finance, warehouse operations, and client services. At Dallas ISD, I led a team that delivered 20+ applications in about eight months. Earlier district work reached more than 200 sites.

The work also covered vendor bids, summer programs, meal reporting, and service requests across district operations.
Case management
District attorney officesThirteen district attorney offices developed different versions of the same case-management system. I am bringing them into one shared application while reconciling the differences in how each office works.
