AI infrastructure in production — not in demos.
AI / ML Engineering
Not API wrappers. Multi-component AI pipelines, private model relay infrastructure, and real-time audio intelligence — all running in production.
7 production AI components in Ember Lead using gemini-2.5-flash with JSON Schema response constraints. Extracts structured data from fire dispatch text, raw address blobs, county property records, and Zillow HTML — all schema-constrained, all in production.
OpenAI Whisper consuming live Broadcastify fire scanner audio buffers, domain-prompted for fire-radio vocabulary ("Engine, working fire, address correction..."). Output feeds directly into the Gemini lead parsing pipeline. Audio to structured lead data, no human in the loop.
Built and operate a private AI API relay at api.noctusoft.com — upstream keys injected server-side, client apps never hold provider credentials. LiteLLM proxy on Azure VM, local Ollama on M4 Max hardware, Tailscale VPN routing, per-tenant rate limiting.
Plaid API → AI analysis → daily corporate and personal financial reports delivered via automated SMS and email. Tracks S-Corp payroll cycles, spending anomalies, and budget variances. Runs on a schedule, no manual intervention.
Two-stage address pipeline: GeminiAddressSplitter parses unstructured dispatch text blobs into individual address candidates; GeminiAddressVerifier cross-validates each against Google Maps geocoding results before triggering paid enrichment. Gates $0.XX-per-call enrichment APIs with zero false positives.
When primary data sources (ATTOM, RentCast, Zillow, county scrapers) return partial or null results, AI takes over: GeminiOwnerNameParser decodes county-formatted owner strings ("MASK RUSSELL L & PENNY C") for skip-trace APIs; GeminiPropertyEnricher estimates value, sqft, beds/baths; ZillowGeminiFallback extracts from raw __NEXT_DATA__ JSON.
Product Portfolio
SaaS products built solo from concept to production billing, plus infrastructure tools running in multi-tenant environments.
tankroom.pro
Real-time fire damage lead generation platform for restoration contractors. Monitors live fire dispatch feeds, enriches property and owner data through a 7-component AI pipeline, and delivers scored leads with verified cell phone numbers before competitors know the fire happened.
"From dispatch to door in 8 seconds."

api.noctusoft.com
Multi-tenant relay infrastructure proxying SendGrid, Twilio, Square, Google APIs, and the private 28-model AI relay. API keys injected server-side; tenants authenticate against Noctusoft credentials only. Per-tenant rate limiting, IP allowlists, domain enforcement.
a20xx.com · Darkware, Inc.
World's first multi-format laser tag tournament. Founded 2000, still running. 18+ tournaments, 15+ systems, 4 countries. If a side project can outlast most startups by 20 years, you're doing something right.
Technology
Mainframe → client/server → web → mobile → cloud → AI. Still here. Still shipping.
Career
Mainframe COBOL to multi-model AI pipelines — not a career pivot, an evolution.
Bootstrapped and operate a Texas S-Corp delivering enterprise software consulting and SaaS products. Built Ember Lead / Tankroom from concept to paying customers — a real-time AI fire damage lead generation platform with a 7-component Gemini pipeline, Whisper audio transcription, and full React Native mobile app. Operate a private 28-model AI relay on Azure. Enterprise clients include Choctaw Nation, Pioneer Natural Resources, Match.com, American Airlines, AAFES, and T-Systems.
15 years of independent consulting across financial services, banking, and mortgage industries. Built WinForms data conversion tools for TD BankNorth, PHP web applications, DotNetNuke custom modules, and open-source contributions (Delphi OCR app, PHP schedule generator LGPL3). Clients included Amerifunds, Bayview Funding, Interbay Funding, and Meritech Mortgage.
Redesigned Bell Canada telephone award system on MVS/ESA. Replaced 10 VSAM files with a modular architecture — reduced development time by 25%. Microfocus COBOL, XDB/DB2.
Where it started. COBOL II loan acquisition conversion systems on OS/MVS/ESA. COBOL/SAS/JCL subsystem redesign achieving 80% efficiency improvement. Performance tuning across COBOL, SAS, Assembler, TSO CLIST, and IMS — 60% run time reduction. The kind of constraints that make you a better engineer everywhere else for the rest of your career.
