Autonomous systems built in the open.

Personal projects focused on AI orchestration, physical computing, and scalable automation infrastructure.

ACE — Autonomous Content Engine

n8n · Apollo · Claude · Gemini · OpenClaw

Active Development

ACE began as an autonomous content engine — eight agents running a closed creative loop. It was ambitious, and it taught me where real leverage is and where it isn't.

The current version is more deliberate: a supervised pipeline infrastructure for delivering structured professional outputs. Human direction in, verified deliverables out.

Phase I delivers B2B lead enrichment — verified contact lists, built around the exact titles and geographies a client actually needs. Phase II expands into SEO content and marketing automation. Phase III deploys the infrastructure itself as the product.

This is a working system, not a portfolio concept.

How it works

Stage 01Discovery

Monitors gig platforms for qualified opportunities matching target criteria. Surfaces relevant leads to the operator for intake decisions.

Stage 02Enrichment

Takes a target domain or company list and runs it through an API waterfall (Apollo → Cleanlist) to produce verified contact records with titles, emails, and firmographic data.

Stage 03Review Gate

All enriched output routes to the operator before delivery. Human eyes on every deliverable — quality enforcement built into the pipeline, not bolted on.

Stage 04Delivery

Structured output (CSV, Google Sheet) formatted to spec and delivered to client. Results logged for pipeline analysis.

Design Principles

Infrastructure Over Hacks

Every component is built to last — not just to ship. Interfaces are explicit, contracts are enforced.

Observability First

Every agent action is logged. Failures are surfaced, not silently swallowed.

Human-in-the-Loop

Quality checkpoints exist throughout the pipeline. Human review is never an afterthought.

Composable Design

Agents are discrete units. New capabilities can be added without rewriting existing infrastructure.

Live System Monitor

Real-time pipeline activity log. Each run produces verified, structured output — logged and observable.

The Sentinel

Raspberry Pi 5 · Live2D · OpenAI Realtime API · Pepper's Ghost

In Design

A physical AI companion built to explore tangible intimacy in an era of disposable screens. Encased in walnut and brass, it embodies the anti-screen—utilizing the 19th-century Pepper's Ghost illusion to project a hand-drawn, animated face suspended in a light-absorbing void. Prioritizing agency over utility, it exists as a silent collaborator rather than a passive tool, waiting patiently until spoken to.

Hardware and software architecture defined. Being funded through ACE revenue before build begins.

Active

The Proactive Ghost is a tech-enabled ghostwriting service for executives and creators who want a consistent public voice without the heavy time investment. Instead of waiting for prompts, the engine proactively reaches out to capture your raw thoughts via short voice notes. This input drives a system that automatically generates newsletters, social threads, and outreach emails—all calibrated against a persistent blueprint of your unique voice to ensure absolute authenticity.
