I am such a person. I wrote Freecell Solver:
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/freecell-solver/
I can discuss it with you if you wish, but I also documented various aspects
of it, in some documents:
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/freecell-solver/docs/
Please go over them before further discussion.

Freecell Solver as a general rule was a very large success. Some of the design

some refactoring of the code.
