AI Agents · Autonomous Systems · Built by Hand

I build AI workforces
that never sleep.

Not demos. Not slideware. A live fleet of autonomous agents — trading desks, front-desk receptionists, research scouts, self-healing watchdogs — running in production right now, on hardware I run, in systems I wrote.

Proof, not promises

The fleet, by the numbers

What I build for you

Three ways to put agents to work

The harsh, repetitive load in a business — answering, screening, watching, reacting — is exactly what an agent does best. I take that load off people.

The fleet — running right now

This is the part nobody else shows you, because nobody else has it running. A multi-desk autonomous trading research lab — Project ARIES — plus the command systems that keep it honest. Every green dot is a real process.

Why my agents don't fall over

The Method is the product

Anyone can wire an LLM to an API. The hard part is an agent you can trust unattended. Trading is my dojo — the harshest environment there is — and every discipline it forced gets baked into everything I ship.

01

Freshness is first-class

The #1 silent killer of autonomous systems is acting on stale data. Every component in my fleet declares a freshness SLA and passes through an is_fresh() gate — stale input fails to neutral, never to a bad decision.

02

A data-trust watchdog polices the fleet

A dedicated service continuously measures the freshness, liveness and sanity of every feed. It has caught zombie processes and crash loops that looked alive from the outside — before they could do damage.

03

Kill-switches and fail-safes, always

Feed-staleness halts, heartbeat fail-safes, regime circuit-breakers, and a manual kill-switch reachable from my phone. Agents get authority only inside hard guardrails.

04

Learn from every action

Every trade lands in a durable, append-only journal. A trap detector buckets outcomes by condition and flags recurring failure patterns — so the system stops re-falling into the same holes, permanently.

05

Edge is proven before it's trusted

No strategy graduates on a good week. It needs a clean sample, a bootstrap confidence interval above zero, and it has to beat the do-nothing benchmark. Honest scorecards — including the ugly ones — are the whole point.

06

Self-healing operations

Everything runs as supervised services with auto-restart, a maintenance agent that quarantines junk reversibly, Discord alerting to dedicated channels, and remote command from anywhere via a private mesh network.

Many swords, sharpened daily

The arsenal

The stack behind the fleet — every piece battle-tested in production, not just listed on a resume.
