Production AI, shipped.

Director of Engineering for AI Engineering and Automation — and still writing the code. These are systems I've architected and built — multi-agent platforms at enterprise scale, autonomous AI products running as real businesses, and a self-hosted home AI command center with zero cloud inference. Not slide decks. Working software.

Enterprise AI Platforms

As Director of Engineering, AI Engineering & Automation at a Fortune-10 healthcare company. Described at architecture and role level.

Multi-Agent Operations-Intelligence Platform

A multi-agent AI platform deployed across fulfillment sites nationally. Six production AI agents handle analytics over operational data, inventory intelligence, real-time operations control with 3D floor visualization, shipping, process mining with drift detection, and engineering decision-support. Built on an additive, "surgical insertion" architecture so it extends live systems without disrupting them.

Unified Enterprise App Portal

A single secured portal consolidating ten internal operations applications behind enterprise identity and role-based access, with a modern front end and automated deployment. The connective tissue that gives one operation one coherent surface.

Architecture

Enterprise Pharmacy ERP & Zero-Trust Auth

Large-scale system design: an event-sourced pharmacy ERP spanning ten domains and dozens of modules, plus an RFID + hardware-backed zero-trust authentication scheme for floor terminals. Shows the depth behind the production work.

Independent Products

Live SaaS and client platforms I built and run end-to-end — architecture, code, billing, deployment.

Autonomous AI Video-Commercial Studio

A brand brief becomes a 30-second broadcast commercial in 10–20 minutes through a four-stage agentic pipeline: brand research, an AI creative-director concept pass, storyboard frame generation from product photos, and final video with native audio. Full subscription product with a token economy, brand profiles, auth, and 4K output.

3D-Model Partitioning Service

A computational-geometry product that splits oversized 3D models into bed-fitting pieces with locking connectors and returns slicer-ready files. Geometry-aware seam finding, BSP partitioning, pegs/magnets/dovetails, and presets for common printers. A real algorithm with a real business behind it.

AI Wellness-Intelligence Platform

A full custom platform for a Phoenix integrated-wellness studio: a deployed dashboard app plus an auth backend, with live wearable-data integration pulling real biometric signals into a personalized client pathway — assessment, design, rhythm, evolve. A working AI platform delivered for a paying client.

NerdlyBuilds — This Site

The site you are reading: a fast, static Astro build on Cloudflare's edge. Every post is a Markdown file in Git, published only after I review it on a preview build, so the history of what changed and when is on record. Scroll-driven motion is done in CSS, with under 10 KB of JavaScript on the homepage. Behind it, a hardened API Worker handles intake, email and media with scoped auth and no third-party mail keys.

The Home Lab

The signature build: a production self-hosted agentic system most people can only describe in theory.

Jarvis — Whole-House AI Command Center

A locally-run, multi-machine AI assistant that runs an entire command center with zero cloud inference. Two-tier local LLMs with speculative decoding, a full voice pipeline (wake-word → speech recognition → tool-calling orchestrator → streaming TTS) with multi-room audio and quiet hours, Home Assistant tool-calling, voice-driven 3D generation, a research-only paper-trading bot, and email rundowns that draft but never send. Triple-redundant disaster recovery with secret-guard tooling.

Self-hosted

Self-Hosted AI Video Generation & Edit

A self-hosted video generation and editing stack on DGX-class hardware: a text-to-video service exposed over an API and tool interface, plus an FFmpeg-based editor driven by LLM planning, with AI upscaling from 480p to 1080p. Cloud-grade capability, running entirely on local silicon.
