Applied AI and systems-builder path

Applied AI,grounded in how businesses actually operate.

I build agentic systems, AI governance, GTM workflows, and operational products. Enterprise selling and leadership are an advantage here: I understand adoption, executive buyers, change management, and the difference between a demo and a system people will use.

His AI — ask it anything

An AI trained on his full career — wins, numbers, and honest gaps.

It is instructed to tell you when he is the wrong hire. Conversations are logged.

What I build

Find the constraint. Ship the system.

The commercial background shows up in the build: start with the business problem, design for adoption, and measure whether the system changed anything that matters.

01

Agentic systems

Multi-agent environments, specialist workflows, shared knowledge, approvals, ownership, and production operations.

02

AI governance

Fail-closed permissions, human approval gates, and audit trails built into the system. In real-estate workflows, TREC-aware review and TRAIGA readiness shape what requires human sign-off and what is recorded.

03

GTM and business workflows

AI systems that improve research, outbound, qualification, reporting, and the handoffs around a revenue motion.

04

Adoption and executive translation

Turning technical capability into a business case, a usable workflow, and an operating model people will follow.

Builds

Shipped, not slideware.

Every build below is real. Ask the AI about any of them — it knows the architecture and the war stories.

Ollie

Agentic operations platform with three production environments

Ollie is a multi-agent operations platform with reusable skills, durable memory, application access, and a control plane for three self-hosted production environments. It provisions complete agentic workspaces with dashboards, per-environment authentication, governance, updates, and health checks. Each run has clear ownership, human approval where needed, and an audit trail.

  • Control plane provisions and maintains three production environments on self-hosted Linux
  • Specialist agent runtimes with reusable skills, durable memory, and a shared business knowledge base
  • Role-based access, human-in-the-loop approval queues, and per-run ownership (the AI Governance layer)
  • Voice receptionist tier (ElevenLabs + Twilio) booking appointments end-to-end
  • Full memory, usage, and cost telemetry across each deployed environment

AI Governance

Operational controls, compliance-aware review, and audit trails for agentic systems

The answer to "how do you let agents act without losing control?" Governance is built into the system: role-based access that fails closed, human approval gates for consequential actions, per-run ownership in Postgres, and durable audit trails across three production environments. For real-estate workflows, the same pattern supports TREC-aware review and TRAIGA readiness without pretending software replaces legal judgment.

  • Fail-closed RBAC — an unknown owner is denied, never assumed
  • Human-in-the-loop approval queues for consequential agent actions
  • Per-run ownership, approval, and outcome recorded in an audit trail that survives restarts
  • TREC-aware review points and TRAIGA readiness for regulated real-estate AI workflows
  • Compliance evidence supports review and accountability; counsel retains legal judgment
  • Exposure health checks and guardrail visibility per user tier
  • Proven across three production environments before it had a name

LiveLive conversational assessment

5-Minute Audit Agent

Two-Model Conversational Assessment Agent

A live AI assessment tool that asks six questions and returns a custom readout. Sonnet handles the conversational turns and Opus generates the final synthesis. I built and evaluated the production workflow in one week, including session controls, cost limits, and deliberately candid recommendations.

  • Two-model architecture — Sonnet for conversation, Opus for synthesis
  • Session state in Cloudflare KV with 30-minute TTL, hard 12-turn cap
  • Voice-eval'd against 20 fictional scenarios before launch
  • Cost: ~$0.07 per completed session
  • Built and shipped in one week as a live conversational intake workflow

AI Resume

The Site You're Looking At Right Now

An AI-queryable portfolio that lets hiring managers ask Claude anything about my background, including questions that deserve a candid answer. Built with an "honest AI" philosophy: the system is instructed to explain relevant boundaries clearly without turning every answer into a self-rejection.

  • Conversational AI powered by Claude — trained on my full career context including private reflections
  • Job description analyzer that gives a structured fit verdict with gaps and transferable skills
  • Chat-first redesign: the hero IS the conversation — the site demos the skill it claims
  • Technical skills section auto-derived from actual project repositories

GetBilled

AI Sales Tools + Full GTM Build for SAP Billing Intelligence

Built the AI-powered sales tooling and the entire go-to-market motion for an SAP-certified billing intelligence platform. The AI components are the load-bearing parts: an account scorer that prioritizes outbound by billing complexity and SAP fit, a Trapped Cash Estimator that quantifies leakage from billing delays, and a value-report PDF generator that auto-produces prospect-specific business cases. The GTM playbook (ICP, messaging, sales process, comp model) is what the AI tools sit inside.

  • AI account scorer prioritizing outbound by billing complexity and SAP fit
  • Trapped Cash Estimator — interactive ROI calculator embedded in discovery calls
  • Auto-generated value-report PDFs with prospect-specific projections
  • Outbound automation pipeline connecting intent signals to sequenced outreach
  • Full GTM playbook: ICP definition, messaging framework, sales process, comp model

Home Inspection Advisor

InspectionLens evolved into a full inspection-report workflow

A full workflow that turns a home-inspection PDF into a buyer- or seller-specific report. It combines structured issue analysis, repair-cost references, property and jurisdiction context, generated reports, and a role-gated admin view. The same pattern can extend to other document-heavy, rule-aware workflows.

  • Buyer and seller report workflows with duplicate detection and secure PDF upload
  • Structured issue analysis across inspection-report formats
  • Repair-cost references plus property and jurisdiction context
  • Generated reports, background processing, and a role-gated admin view
  • Pattern portable to other document-heavy, rule-aware workflows

FieldKit

Multi-Tenant Field Service Management Platform

Full-stack platform for field service businesses — replacing the spreadsheets and phone calls that most small operators still use. Built for technicians in the field and dispatchers in the office. Multi-tenant architecture with row-level security so each org's data is fully isolated.

  • Job dispatch, scheduling, and real-time technician status tracking
  • Customer communication portal with automated appointment reminders
  • Multi-tenant architecture with row-level security — each org's data fully isolated
  • Integrated communications (Twilio, Stripe, QuickBooks)
  • Mobile-first UI with optimistic updates for fast performance on spotty connections

IdeaCatcher

Voice-First Idea Capture App (iOS + Android)

End-to-end mobile app built and submitted to both the App Store and Google Play. Captures ideas with voice, text, or camera — then uses AI to tag, organize, and surface related ideas before they get lost. Sub-500ms voice transcription via Deepgram, Claude API for semantic tagging, offline-first architecture with cloud sync.

  • Real-time voice transcription via Deepgram with <500ms latency
  • Claude API integration for semantic tagging and idea relationship mapping
  • Offline-first architecture with Supabase sync when connection restores
  • Built for iOS and Android — pending app store approval
