ML Engineer | Production AI Systems, Applied ML, and Industrial Automation
I build production AI systems that automate expert workflows. Not demos, not prototypes. Systems that run daily under real operational constraints.
I'm currently ML Engineer at McQueeny Group, where I built McQueenyML: a 74K LOC platform that cut HVAC estimating from 4 hours to 12 minutes with 100% parsing accuracy across 553K indexed files. I also built Adze, a native AI assistant embedded directly inside SOLIDWORKS with 19 grounding tools that read live CAD sessions. And Project Ava is a persistent multi-agent platform with structured memory, orchestrated domain agents, and 900+ tests across the stack.
I come from engineering coursework and the trades, not a CS degree. Everything I claim is shipped and quantified.
Now building toward real-time signal processing and edge ML. Currently developing SPDRbot, a quadruped robot on Jetson hardware, to build the closed-loop control and latency intuition that brain-computer interface work demands.
Personal AI infrastructure platform built to run persistent assistants, structured memory, and cross-device workflows on dedicated hardware. Includes a mobile-first PWA, operational monitoring, service integrations, and private remote access over Tailscale. Built with React, Express, SQLite, ChromaDB, and OpenClaw orchestration.
Multi-tenant business management SaaS for informal employers, covering time tracking, invoicing, role-based access, subscription billing, and AI-assisted workflows. Built with React, TypeScript, Supabase, and Stripe, with database-enforced access control and production test coverage.
Production automation platform for an HVAC contractor's sales engineering workflow. 5-tier matching engine (pgvector embeddings, trigram fuzzy search, Claude AI fallback) indexes 553K files and 3,000+ equipment orders synced from SharePoint. Processes 10K+ XML specifications with 100% parsing accuracy. Built on Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and ChromaDB with real-time sync pipelines.
Native SOLIDWORKS assistant implemented as a COM add-in that reads live CAD context through typed tools for dimensions, mates, mass properties, and BOM data. Built in C# on .NET with guarded write operations designed to keep model changes reviewable and reversible.
Systematic trading research platform for testing forecasting pipelines, signal fusion, risk gating, and paper-trading execution. Combines time-series models, sentiment inputs, technical signals, walk-forward validation, and an execution layer with explicit controls for sizing and risk.
Early McQueeny automation system that parsed XML specifications and generated Excel outputs for HVAC estimating workflows. Proved the automation approach with 100% parsing accuracy across 10K+ documents and directly led to expansion into the full McQueenyML platform.
End-to-end 3D printing system for LEGO-compatible part production, from parametric geometry and automated slicing to direct printer control and telemetry monitoring. Includes a dimensional calibration workflow with measured compensation sweeps and profile locking targeting ±0.05 mm tolerance on clutch-critical geometry. Built as a hardware-adjacent manufacturing pipeline with resolved slicer profiles, automated exports, and production telemetry.
Robotics platform in active development for building practical skill in low-latency control, hardware debugging, sensor integration, and on-device inference. Represents a deliberate move from software-only ML systems into physical autonomy and real-world control constraints.

A real mesh of four machines running production workloads — not a diagram for show. Ava is the headless Ubuntu hub serving the PWA control surface and running multi-agent orchestration. Frank, Hero, and Zoe are Windows peers on the Tailscale mesh.
