# ArtJeck Technology

> Production AI engineering with QA built in. ArtJeck Technology is a Sacramento, California software and AI studio building AI agents, RAG systems, MCP servers, and web/iOS products — designed with evaluations, edge-case testing, and quality gates so they hold up once real users arrive. Founded and run by Eugene Menshikov, an independent AI engineer with a software-quality background: the alternative to hiring an AI agency.

## About
- Location: Sacramento, CA — serving Sacramento, San Francisco, and the SF Bay Area; remote-friendly.
- Who you hire: one independent AI engineer, Eugene Menshikov, end to end. No account managers, no juniors, no handoffs — the person who scopes the work builds and tests it.
- Focus: AI agents, RAG pipelines, MCP servers, LLM evaluations, full-stack web (Next.js/React/TypeScript), Python/FastAPI, and iOS/SwiftUI.
- Differentiator: a software-quality (SDLC/STLC) background applied to AI — testing and evals are part of the build, not an afterthought.
- Pricing is published, and every project is quoted fixed before work starts.

## Services
- [AI Automation & Agents](https://artjeck.com/ai-automation): Custom agents and assistants that answer from your own documents and take real work off your team's plate. Built with evaluations and guardrails, so accuracy holds when real customers are the ones asking. Starting at $8,000 (fixed quote · $150/hr advisory).
- [Web Development](https://artjeck.com/web-development): Websites and web apps built clean, quick, and exactly to your brand — no templates, no monthly fees holding your site hostage. The code is yours from day one, built to grow with you. Websites from $1,500 (web apps & MVPs from $7,500).
- [App Development](https://artjeck.com/mobile-app-development): Native iOS apps in SwiftUI and cross-platform builds that feel at home on every device. I take you from a focused MVP to a tested production release — your app, your code, your roadmap. Starting at $7,500 (MVP to production release). No public App Store case study yet — mobile is the newest service.
- [Software Testing & QA](https://artjeck.com/software-testing): Independent functional, regression, and edge-case testing on software you or another team built. You get a clear written report of what breaks and why — a senior second set of eyes before you put your name on it. Starting at $3,000 (fixed scope · $90/hr after). Independent testing only; not penetration testing.
- Data, Databases & Integrations: Databases set up, migrated, and connected — spreadsheets turned into real systems, your tools talking to each other through their APIs, and messy documents like PDFs and invoices extracted into clean, structured data. Starting at $1,500 (fixed scope · $90/hr after). (No dedicated page; scoped on request.)
- SEO & Analytics: Technical SEO that makes Google actually understand your site: structured data, local pages, speed, and clean indexing. Plus analytics done right — GA4, Search Console, and a dashboard that shows where customers really come from. Starting at $1,000 (audit + fixes · $90/hr after). (No dedicated page; scoped on request.)

## IFTA filing service
- [IFTA Quarterly Filing Service](https://artjeck.com/ifta): AI-reviewed IFTA fuel-tax filing for trucking carriers, run for real carriers every quarter.

## Insights (articles)
- [Hiring an AI agency vs an independent AI engineer](https://artjeck.com/insights/ai-agency-vs-independent-ai-engineer): Written by one of the two options, so read it accordingly. Including the cases where the honest answer is to hire the agency, and the question that separates a working system from an expensive demo.
- [How to test an AI system before you bet the business on it](https://artjeck.com/insights/how-to-test-ai-before-production): A demo proves a model can be right once. Production asks it to be right on the input nobody tried, on a Tuesday, when the number lands on a tax return. Those are different problems.
- [How a trucking company automated its quarterly IFTA filing](https://artjeck.com/insights/how-a-trucking-company-automated-ifta-filing): Deterministic code does the arithmetic, AI reviews the result, a human approves the filing. Why that order matters, and what happened when the output was checked against a real state return.
- [What to automate first: a practical guide for scaling teams](https://artjeck.com/insights/what-to-automate-first): The highest-return automation is almost never the exciting one. Four tests for picking a first project, and the manual processes that quietly cost the most.
- [Slow computer: repair it, upgrade it, or replace it?](https://artjeck.com/insights/slow-computer-repair-upgrade-or-replace): Most computers people are about to replace out of frustration are held back by one component. How to tell the difference between a slow machine and a finished one.

## Work
- [An AI agent that files quarterly fuel taxes.](https://artjeck.com/work/ifta): How I built and shipped an AI agent that files quarterly IFTA fuel taxes for trucking fleets: a deterministic Python pipeline for the math, a 16-tool Claude review agent for the judgment, regression-tested to the penny, in production with a real carrier.
- [List it once, sell it everywhere.](https://artjeck.com/work/sales): How I built a system that lists a resale business's inventory once and cross-posts it across eight marketplaces — with retries, idempotency, and a human-approval gate in front of anything irreversible. Running for a live client; a sanitized showcase is public.
- [Sales Agent — Multi-Marketplace Resale Automation](https://github.com/ArtJack/sales-agent-showcase): Running for a live, revenue-generating client (anonymized). A sanitized showcase of the architecture is public and runs end-to-end on synthetic data; the production code and integrations stay private.
- [DM Express — Trucking Company Website](https://github.com/ArtJack/dm-express-site): A real client site tuned for iPhone, accessibility, and a sub-500KB first load — now their front door for recruiting drivers.
