About

Professional summary

I build and operate production AI systems solo, end-to-end — not wrappers, not demos. My flagship is T BOT, a multi-surface algorithmic trading platform where Claude extracts narrative probability from live news and technical indicators, wrapped in a 10-gate risk chain, piecewise-calibrated after Brier-score audits exposed model overconfidence — running 24/7 across four trading surfaces on a $30/month infrastructure budget.

Around it I've shipped a fully autonomous AI content business (daily LLM research → branded video → multi-channel publish → auto-graded public track record), a Cloudflare-native ops platform (Workers, D1, Pages, HMAC-signed event ingest across seven products), and an autonomous job-application pipeline. Before that: industrial control systems in continuous-production manufacturing — SCADA/HMI and IDS hardening on plant networks. CEH, Security+, Network+.

My bias is measurement: every strategy change is reversible, every hypothesis is written down before it ships, and every output is falsifiable against reality. If you need someone who can own a system from raw pain point to production — architecture, LLM orchestration, infra, payments, monitoring — that's what I do daily.

Career history

Founder / Technical Lead T BOT - https://tbot.trade/demo

A production algorithmic trading platform running four independent trading surfaces (prediction markets, FX, equities) with an LLM predict layer: Claude synthesizes RSS news and technical indicators (RSI, Bollinger, S/R, ATR) into narrative probabilities that drive live orders. Surface-isolated architecture — per-surface env files, bankrolls, kill switches, calibration curves — plus a subscriber distribution client with Kelly sizing and a multi-broker adapter pattern. Runs 24/7 on a $30/month infrastructure budget.

Accomplishments:
- designed and shipped a 10-gate env-var-driven risk chain (pair blacklists, direction filters, edge caps, cluster caps, daily-loss limits);
- built an audit-driven calibration layer — rebuilt the probability curve piecewise after Brier-score audits exposed 0.90+ band overconfidence;
- engineered shadow-outcome backfill resolvers populating would-have-been P&L on 640+ aborted signals ("saved by not trading" accounting per filter rule);
- operated the full stack solo: strategy, infra, payments, monitoring, incident response.

Tech stack: Python, FastAPI, Anthropic SDK (Claude), Kalshi/OANDA/IBKR APIs, PM2, systemd, DigitalOcean, JSONL logging

Founder / Engineer OddsEdge - https://oddsedge.win

Overview: A fully autonomous daily intelligence product: a cron-driven engine gathers live odds data, Claude writes a quantified value-betting brief, and the pipeline renders and distributes it across email, Telegram, and a daily vertical video — with an auto-graded public track record so every output is falsifiable against reality. Zero human touch on a normal day.

Accomplishments:
- built the end-to-end content pipeline: data gather → LLM research → branded render → multi-channel delivery → automatic result grading;
- shipped the reel pipeline: LLM-designed HTML scenes → ElevenLabs TTS → karaoke captions → FFmpeg 1080×1920 → YouTube Data API v3 auto-publish;
- implemented deterministic de-vig fair-price math with the LLM constrained to narrative, not numbers;
- integrated paid billing (webhook-verified) and public results pages backed by an append-only ledger.

Tech stack: Python, Anthropic SDK, ElevenLabs, FFmpeg, YouTube Data API, Cloudflare Pages/KV, Resend, Telegram Bot API

Architect / Engineer Unified Ops Dashboard

Overview: A single pane of glass for a seven-product portfolio: every product emits HMAC-signed events into one Cloudflare D1 table via an ingest Worker; a token-gated read API and Pages dashboard render live revenue, funnels, and per-system health cards; per-surface kill switches route through a FastAPI control plane.

Accomplishments:
- designed the HMAC-signed, per-project-secret event ingest (server-derived project identity — a leaked emitter can't forge another product's events);
- built the D1 schema, read API with tiered bearer tokens, and PWA dashboard with offline shell;
- wired push-to-deploy CI across 7 private repos with idempotent process restarts;
- added Telegram fan-out so notify-worthy events ping the operator in real time.

Tech stack: Cloudflare Workers, D1, Pages, KV, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, HMAC auth, GitHub Actions

Education

Learning history

University of British Columbia

Certified Ethical Hacker, Cyber Security

Completed the University of British Columbia's Certified Ethical Hacker program (Sep 2024 – Jun 2025), covering the full EC-Council CEH domains: reconnaissance, network scanning and enumeration, vulnerability analysis, system exploitation, web application attacks, wireless and IoT/OT security, and defensive countermeasures — hands-on, lab-based offensive-security work. Applied directly in production: IDS hardening and network-security work on live industrial control networks in continuous-process manufacturing. Complements CompTIA Security+ and Network+ toward an OT/ICS security specialization.
