AI Infrastructure Builder — I build the systems that make AI agents work in production: orchestration runtimes, coordination protocols, budget controls, and resilience patterns.
17 years in manufacturing operations. Self-taught engineer. Now building production infrastructure for AI systems.
AI exocortex and multi-agent orchestration monorepo. Four packages: Core (personal AI with memory and learning system), Forge (workflow runtime with budget enforcement, quality gates, and checkpoints — deployed as systemd service), Quorum (decentralized coordination protocol, live on PyPI), and Bootstrap (install daemon and dashboard).
9,600+ tests · 85-97% coverage per package · Python · PyO3 · MIT
Offensive security operations platform. Recon, scanning, vulnerability analysis, and reporting — orchestrated through structured pipelines with full audit trails.
5,000+ tests · Python · MIT
Local-first document intelligence. NER, classification, OCR, full-text search, forensics timeline, and entity graph analysis — all on SQLite with zero cloud dependencies.
391 tests · 99% coverage · Python · FastAPI · MIT
