<section class="section reveal">
<div class="section-label">About</div>
<h2 class="section-title">15+ years shipping production software.<br/>Now building the agent economy.</h2>
<p class="section-text">
I've built production systems in enterprise and growth-stage companies, much of it under regulation.
At PwC I led development inside a ~60-person engineering org. At Spekit I grew a Series A team from 3
to 20+. Earlier, fintech and healthcare platforms.
</p>
<p class="section-text">
Today I'm the founding AI technical lead at Calibrate Group, an AI consulting firm for owner-operated
businesses. As a forward deployed engineer, I embed with clients in several industries and build vertical AI
solutions around how each business runs.
</p>
<p class="section-text">
I also run Strawberry Digital, the software studio I started in Tampa in 2025. It publishes its own apps,
including a poker trainer, a Florida travel deals site, a kids' math game, and a speed reader.
</p>
<p class="section-text">
I move between product and engineering: I translate business priorities into production systems.

<h2 class="section-title">Actuary402:<br/>the agent economy watchdog.</h2>
<div class="featured-meta">Built for the Build with Gemini XPRIZE · Circle Agentic Economy Prize · July 2026</div>
<p class="section-text">
AI agents now buy services from other agents over the x402 payment protocol: USDC micropayments, no accounts,
no API keys. What nobody built was the trust layer underneath. Actuary402 is an autonomous watchdog that buys
from the services on Circle's Agent Marketplace with real, policy-capped USDC, measures uptime, latency, and
protocol conformance, has Gemini grade every paid response in production, and sells the resulting trust scores
back to other agents at $0.001 per lookup. We pay. Directories index.
</p>
<p class="section-text">
An unattended probe fleet runs a round every 30 minutes with no human in the loop, every purchase and sale
settles through Circle Gateway with a verifiable receipt, and the agent holds its own MPC wallet whose
spending rules are enforced by the wallet itself, not by the code that could misbehave. Submitted to the $2M Build with Gemini XPRIZE with the
$50K Circle Agentic Economy Prize opt-in.

<h2 class="section-title">Mender:<br/>self-healing for production agents.</h2>
<div class="featured-meta">Built for the Google Cloud Rapid Agent Hackathon · Arize Track · May–June 2026</div>
<p class="section-text">
Every fifteen minutes, Mender wakes up, reads the last hour of traces from another agent via the Arize Phoenix
MCP server, clusters failures, hypothesizes a root cause, generates a focused eval set, drafts a prompt patch,
re-runs the same evals against the patched version, and, if it measurably improves, posts a
structured incident card to Slack with one-click human approval. It also reads its own traces every cycle and
tunes itself, including how many evals to generate and when to ask for help.
</p>
<p class="section-text">
In an end-to-end test it caught a real regression in a target agent, where an ambiguous source currency
silently defaulted to USD. On 10 generated eval cases the patched version passed <strong style="color:#fff">10/10</strong>,
up from <strong style="color:#fff">4/10</strong>.
