Selected work for applied AI and forward-deployment roles.

Self-taught engineer, came up through quantitative trading and more than a decade of building systems where mistakes cost real money. Now focused on applied AI: voice agents on live calls, infrastructure for coding agents, and defense layers for AI-powered support. The throughline is shipping. Take a strong model, then build the software around it that holds up with real users.

Current highlights

  • 01More than a decade building production systems across trading, marketplaces, developer tooling, and AI.
  • 02Recent work: voice agents on live calls, infrastructure for coding agents, and AI defense layers.
  • 03Strongest where a powerful model still needs real engineering to survive contact with users.

Positioning

The focus is applied AI that ships: voice agents, agent infrastructure, and AI defense. Earlier trading and crypto work is here too, where it shows research discipline and a healthy respect for uncertainty.

Voice AI Receptionist

CTO
  • ·Built a phone-first AI intake system for non-emergency patient transport, combining real-time ASR, dialogue control, structured capture, and safe handoff to human operators.
  • ·Built the production layer around the model: telephony-aware latency handling, outcome coding, session persistence, perf traces, and JWT-gated results for downstream teams.

Houseparty

Founder / Builder
  • ·Built a local-first multi-agent orchestrator for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, with each agent running in a persistent PTY rather than a one-shot subprocess.
  • ·Designed a Rust daemon plus Next.js dashboard for agent supervision, shared and per-agent memory, project-scoped MCP configuration, resumable sessions, and Telegram remote control.

Norse3

Co-founder / CTO
  • ·Built safeguards middleware for customer-facing AI and support workflows, with moderation in the live message path rather than as an offline classifier.
  • ·Designed explicit trust boundaries around signed moderation notes, verified webhooks, incident logging, and operator-facing review surfaces.

Ashlock Trading

Founder / Research systems
  • ·Built a three-strategy research stack with separate capital and risk boundaries across live options, intraday crypto microstructure research, and shared reporting.
  • ·Added a validation layer with bootstrap confidence intervals, Monte Carlo path checks, and walk-forward analysis to make uncertainty visible instead of hiding behind point estimates.

Healthcare Voice AI (Stealth)

Chief Technology Officer (CTO)Dec 2025 – Present
  • ·Leading development of an AI voice operations platform for ambulance and non-emergency patient transport workflows, automating booking, rescheduling, reminders, and exception handling with safe escalation to human dispatchers.
  • ·Built a low-latency real-time voice pipeline combining streaming ASR, LLM-based dialogue and decisioning, and neural TTS; established evaluation harnesses for latency, transcription quality, and conversation-success metrics.
  • ·Designed structured action capture, session persistence, and audit logging around clinical rules and service policies so the system could support governance and post-incident review.

Norse3

Co-founder and CTOJul 2024 – Present
  • ·Built a safeguards middleware platform between end users and AI or human agents, providing real-time policy enforcement, monitoring, compliance controls, and operational review surfaces.
  • ·Designed a modular system spanning secure messaging, embeddable chat, layered detection, signed privileged writes, incident logging, and an admin console for governance and investigation.
  • ·Shipped authenticated APIs, WebSocket streaming, rate limiting, helpdesk integration, audit trails, and RBAC-backed policy controls for production use.

Edtech Games Development

AI Engineer (Project-based)Sep 2024 – Jan 2025
  • ·Built GenAI workflows for summarization, podcast synthesis, and automated content publishing, with prompt orchestration and evaluation loops to support rapid iteration.
  • ·Prototyped storyboard-to-video tooling that combined frontier image and video models with rendering and asset pipelines for education and media use cases.
