I build autonomous multi-agent AI systems that behave the same way every time, and I lead the engineering organizations that ship them.

It's a waste of the most precious gift, existence, to drift through life without intention. You make yourself through your actions, so choose to be someone worth being.

Loadout

Four things I get hired to do. Each one is delivered with working code and architecture, not a slide deck.

SLOT 01Primary
Architect

Autonomous AI & Multi-Agent Architecture

  • Deterministic multi-agent pipelines
  • Automated evaluation frameworks
  • State machines for non-deterministic models
  • Truthfulness verification systems
SLOT 02Primary
Commander

Fractional CTO & Executive Software Leadership

  • Engineering team structure
  • Technical roadmap delivery
  • Recruiting standards
  • Organizational alignment
SLOT 03Secondary
Auditor

Technical Due Diligence & Codebase Audits

  • Code quality and scalability review
  • Security posture
  • AI integration validity
  • Reports for investors, founders, acquirers
SLOT 04Secondary
Engineer

Full-Stack & Edge Infrastructure Modernization

  • Cloud and containerized workflows
  • Edge deployment: Astro, Cloudflare Pages, Docker
  • Linux execution environments
  • CI/CD automation

Target // problems this loadout is built for

  • [x]Unreliable or non-deterministic AI agent deployments
  • [x]No rigorous evaluation pipeline
  • [x]Architectural bottlenecks slowing engineering velocity
  • [x]Business strategy and software delivery out of sync

Clients: growth-stage startups, venture-backed scale-ups, and enterprise leadership that need fractional executive technical leadership or specialized AI/systems architecture.

Stats

Boardroom to terminal. I do not claim fluency in every layer of the stack. I claim the ability to reason from first principles and make the call. Numbers rank depth relative to each other, not against anyone else.

"Developer by training, leader by nature: a philosophical technology enthusiast with a passion for people." Here is the rest of the file.

FILE 01 // READING

Library

Philosophy first: Russell, ethics, history of science. Then the long shelves: epic fantasy, hard sci-fi, noir. Gladstone, Jordan, Asimov, Corey, Le Guin, Chandler, Doyle.

  • Philosophy
  • Fantasy
  • Sci-fi
  • Noir
FILE 02 // MUSIC

Frequency

Synthwave for the highway, ambient for deep work, anything with a live drummer for the gym. The playlist is the state machine.

  • Synthwave
  • Ambient
  • Live
FILE 03 // VIDEO GAMES

Arcade

Systems-heavy games: immersive sims, strategy, and anything that rewards reading the rules closely. Custom-built PC, hand-tuned.

  • Immersive sims
  • Strategy
  • Custom PC
FILE 04 // DRIVING

The road

Long forest roads after dark. Same route as the old about.me photo, just at night with the lights on. Driving is where the hard problems get solved.

  • Night routes
  • Forest
  • Thinking time
FILE 05 // THEORETICAL PHYSICS

Event horizon

Undergraduate research question: does the rotational velocity of the supermassive black hole at a galaxy's center predict the size of that galaxy? We modeled it. As far as we could tell, no correlation. A null result is still a result.

  • Astrophysics
  • Modeling
  • Null result

One short call to evaluate the timing and the match. If it is not a fit, I will say so.
