This isn't a résumé.
It's how I actually think.

A résumé lists what I did. It can't show you the part that matters — how I take a hard problem apart and put it back together. So here's that, with proof you can check yourself. Starting with a call you can make right now:

📞 Call the AI I built — (213) 603-5937 See how I think ↓

That number is answered by a voice agent I designed and run in production. Don't read about my work — talk to it.

The $7 fix

Ten days ago my home AC died. I'd never touched an AC unit in my life. The replacement quote was $4,000.

An HVAC pro — my neighbor — swapped the capacitor. It ran fifteen minutes and quit. Ran, quit, ran, quit. Most people call the pro back and wait. I went outside and read the motor's nameplate: JARD, 1/4 HP, 825 RPM — and printed right there, the spec: 5µF. The capacitor that had been installed was 10µF. Double. Overcurrent → the windings overheat → the motor's thermal protector trips → the exact symptom I was watching.

I ordered the correct 5µF cap, installed it myself, and it's run like a champ ever since. $10 instead of $4,000 — not because I knew air conditioning, but because I read the one spec everyone else skipped.

That's not a story about an AC. That's how I solve everything: zoom in to the one component, out to the whole system, back in — until I find the real number nobody else bothered to read.

Same brain, in software

I point that exact instinct at technology. Solo, I've built and run production AI agents on live phone lines, automated outreach and back-office operations, and full web platforms — for real businesses, end to end. I don't demo AI. I run it in production and keep it alive.

And the rarest part isn't the building — it's getting a non-technical owner, nervous about all of it, to trust it and actually use it. I've been doing that since I ran tier-3 escalations 20 years ago: the customers nobody else could calm came to me. The hard part of AI was never the model. It's the human. That's my home court.

Don't take my word for it — see it

Twenty-eight years, the short version

Self-taught since age 22. I learned by reading the books and doing the work — studied A+ and MCSE at the same time, then CCNA, CCNP, and a stack of others. No computer-science degree; 28 years of actually doing it instead.

Ran enterprise migrations for major U.S. clients — including a 2,500-unit PC/server/laptop rollout — and finished a national deployment in 3 months.
Managed an 8-person software-engineering team plus the full infrastructure (Active Directory, Exchange, security) and the tier-3 escalations nobody else could resolve.
Founded my own managed-IT firm, Venus Network Solutions, and ran IT operations for an organization of ~1,500 users for years.
Today: I build and run production AI for small businesses — and get them to trust it.

Straight talk on the certs: MCSE, CCNP, CCNA, A+ and NABCEP are earned but a decade old. I keep the fundamentals current through hands-on work, and I'll always tell you exactly which is which. Calibrated honesty is part of the package.

What I'm looking for

AI Solutions / Forward-Deployed / Implementation / Solutions Engineer work — anywhere a team needs someone who can build the thing and make a human trust it. Throw me a hard problem and let me own it end to end.
