What I'm looking for

I'm available for remote full-time roles, contract work, consulting, and AI systems engagements, with an immediate start.

At PhantomByte, I built and operate a production automation fleet of 26 scheduled jobs that runs unattended, from research collection and article publishing to email processing and health monitoring. I also built a research-to-publish pipeline with separate agents, structured handoffs, and verification gates.

I operate local and hosted AI inference, routing tasks across models and systems according to cost, latency, context length, and capability. At PhantomByte, I also built a 210-page technical publication and an email deliverability service that diagnoses SPF, DKIM, and DMARC failures against live DNS.
