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.


Flagship

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


Dev Tools

Six CLI tools for AI-assisted development:

Tool What Tests
promptctl Claude API toolkit — prompt engineering, code review, doc intelligence 286
memboot Zero-infra persistent memory for LLMs — SQLite + TF-IDF vector search 285
claudemd-forge CLAUDE.md generator/auditor for AI coding agents 259
ai-spend AI API cost aggregator — Anthropic + OpenAI billing in one view 222
agent-audit Workflow YAML cost estimator + linter for agent pipelines 193
mcp-manager MCP server manager — discover, monitor, manage across IDEs 139
