Appointed CFO at fourteen.

Not a delay: a deliberate shortcut. The traditional four-year high school path was available; this one moves faster. All four subjects are studied simultaneously in a single week, targeting 175+ (the threshold that earns college credit), and practice tests are already landing in the 170s before the real attempt. Studying at home on my own schedule rather than a classroom. The plan: bank roughly twelve college credits from the scores before ever enrolling, then enter a Colorado community college for philosophy, AI, and coding at 12+ credits a semester. The system rewards the credential, not the seat time, so the seat time is what gets cut.

A voice-first assistant built to a hard bar: it has to be good enough to actually use, not just demo. That meant fixing root causes as they surfaced, hunting a speech-to-text hallucination bug down to the exact VAD/Whisper interaction rather than swapping models and hoping. Runs end to end on local models via Ollama, so there's no per-request API cost. Live camera object detection, parametric 3D CAD validated against closed-form geometry, and computer control gated behind a confirmation step for anything consequential.

A real ML-engineering piece, not a wrapper around a chatbot. It watches agentic coding sessions for drift, prompt-injection hijacking, and unverified claims, and gets evaluated against a rubric rather than judged by vibes. Built to catch the failure modes that show up only over long autonomous runs.

A personalization framework for Claude Code: hooks, a markdown vault, and 17 specialist agent configurations. Open-sourced under MIT so the attribution and the license carry cleanly. This very site's workflow runs on a version of it.

A heavily modified fork of the open-source ESP32-DIV, not a reskin. Seven radios (WiFi, BLE, 2.4GHz, Sub-GHz, IR, RFID/NFC, GPS) in one handheld, PIN-lock security gating on boot, a JSON-lines audit trail of every session, and a localhost admin dashboard. Three real upstream bugs fixed along the way, carrying the MIT license and attribution the original requires. Authorized security testing only.

A browser extension exposing a 31-tool catalog with live passive security scoring, bridged to a native CLI toolkit so the browser surface and the command line share one toolchain. Built for authorized testing workflows, not mass targeting.

An automated business-development pipeline: lead scoring, outreach, and client acquisition running end to end. The kind of internal tooling that turns a service business into something closer to a system than a hustle.

Software engineering work on a drone-based aerial mapping and UAV mission-planning pipeline: spatial logic, obstacle avoidance, and real-time data integration. Under NDA, so the specifics stay here.

Appointed CFO at fourteen, not a symbolic title. The actual books, the actual payroll, financial planning, budgeting, P&L, and AP/AR for a multi-million dollar business over three years. $250,000 directed to fifteen nonprofits across the run. The finance discipline from this is what keeps the ventures funded now.
