Self-taught AI architect in San Diego. I built UNA — a sovereign AI with 9 cognitive organs, a neural bridge that reads my brainwaves, 6 biometric sensors tracking my body in real-time, and a mesh of 23+ live systems that never sleep. Built from scratch, on dedicated hardware, in my home.
Full story →Four years building UNA. I know what AI looks like when it actually works. Now I bring that to teams that want to ship something real.
System design, model selection, infrastructure planning, and roadmapping. Built to run, not to impress on slides.
Embed AI into existing products and workflows. LLM orchestration, RAG systems, knowledge graphs, multi-model pipelines.
Hands-on sessions for teams. Identify opportunities, prototype fast, and leave with something that works.
Send a note about your project. No pitch decks — just a real conversation about what you need.
Got a project, a question, or an idea that shouldn't exist yet? I'm here.
I write about autonomous AI, system design, and building things that shouldn't exist yet.
