About

Most applied-AI engineers can't get into the cleared room. Most cleared DoD veterans can't build the pipeline. I do both — 15+ years of US Navy, USMC, and federal domain depth paired with hands-on, production applied-AI work. Active Top Secret clearance. Navy veteran.

Right now I build production AI pipelines at an AEC-focused startup — local LLMs, RAG semantic search over pgvector, n8n orchestration, and containerized infrastructure (Docker, PostgreSQL) — proof the skills are current and production-grade. I build for the environment defense actually runs in: on-prem and air-gapped, least-privilege, no dependence on commercial cloud. What I really do is translate between the mission and the machine — elicit requirements from government stakeholders under real constraints, then build the system that meets them.

Projects

Production AI Competitive Intelligence Pipeline

AI Pipeline & Automation Engineer

End-to-end competitive intelligence pipeline for an AEC-focused startup — ingesting RSS, YouTube, and podcast content, processing 500+ documents weekly through a local LLM (Ollama/Llama 3.1) for relevance scoring, entity extraction, and semantic clustering. Delivered automatically to SharePoint and Microsoft Teams via Graph API.

AI-Powered Requirements Validation Platform

Data Engineer · Navy NP2

Across a federal modernization program's master set of ~30,000 requirements, identified ~4,000 that had slipped through unmatched to any test case, then built a Python/NLP pipeline (Jaccard similarity, clustering, context-aware topic extraction) to match them — cutting that validation from 3–4 months to < 2 hours (≈ 98% reduction). Built Sept–Nov 2025.
