Summary

Builder who ships working AI systems end to end. Designed, built, and operates a self-hosted agent platform on a multi-node Linux fleet: an MCP server exposing 21 typed tools, quota-aware model routing across three cloud providers plus a local open-weight model on owned GPU hardware, tiered retrieval over a private corpus, and an evidence contract requiring verifiable output before a job is accepted. 12+ years across IT support, hardware lifecycle, and inventory and logistics operations; current work is high-volume enterprise hardware configuration under production SLAs. AAS in Cloud Computing. Seeking applied AI engineering roles building agents, tool calling, retrieval, and the guardrails around them.

Core Competencies

LLM application development; agent orchestration and tool calling (Model Context Protocol); retrieval-augmented generation and semantic search; model routing and cost control; local open-weight inference; guardrails, evaluation gates, and observability; Python back-end and API design; SQLite and schema design; Linux administration; Docker and systemd services; DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, subnetting, NAT; identity and access control; CI/CD and release discipline; technical documentation and audit trails; incident triage and root cause analysis.

Technical Projects
Tower - Agent Orchestration Platform
  • MCP server exposing 21 typed tools that turn a multi-node Linux fleet into a pool of AI workers, consumable by any Model Context Protocol client without a second API to maintain.
  • Quota-aware model routing: scores three cloud providers on live usage and reserves the winner atomically in one transaction, or routes fully-specified work to a local open-weight model at zero marginal cost.
  • Concurrency by resource, not host: mutating jobs declare what they touch and serialize on that claim, so unrelated work runs in parallel while multi-host jobs stay protected.
  • Evidence contract: single-use tokens, immutable request and durable response per run, and independent verification, because a zero exit code means the process ended, not that the work happened. Python, FastMCP, SQLite; 308 tests.
Nexus - Agent Observability & Knowledge Base
  • Operator surface for the platform: live node health, running and completed agent jobs with the evidence each returned, and Web Push alerting on failure.
  • Tiered retrieval over a private corpus: compact summary cards first, a separate vector index over normalized working history second, raw sources only for audit, so lookups stay cheap before they go deep. Python, FastAPI, vanilla JS.
Loupe - Self-Hosted ML Photo Culling
  • Full-stack Python/SQLite web application with its own machine-learning pipeline: face clustering, scene and aesthetic scoring across ~80k frames, running on owned GPU hardware via ONNX.
  • Network-aware access control and a commit-before-deploy release discipline via systemd.
Self-Hosted Linux Fleet, Multi-Node Infrastructure
Ongoing
  • Designed and operate a multi-node fleet (Ubuntu, Synology NAS, Raspberry Pi) across two subnets including a dedicated storage subnet behind a NAT gateway; administer ~11 TB RAID5 storage.
  • Docker and systemd services with a high-availability failover design published through Cloudflare Tunnels and Access; failover validated under a real control-plane outage.
