What I Build

🤖

Multi-Agent AI Systems

Autonomous agent swarms with shared nervous systems, self-adjusting decision layers, and cross-domain memory. Agents that coordinate, learn, and operate without human intervention.

💬

AI Chatbots & RAG Pipelines

Production chatbots backed by retrieval-augmented generation over large document sets. Real-time crisis support, facility recommendations, and conversational AI deployed at scale.

Scalable Web Infrastructure

Shared template architectures that deploy new city sites in minutes. Apache, MySQL, Redis, GCP. One server handling 29 domains with 99.9% uptime.

📱

Mobile-First Operations

Custom API endpoints enabling full server administration from a phone. The entire Sober Network is managed, monitored, and deployed from mobile devices.

The Sober Network

29 Cities. 8 Agents. 1 Server. Zero Employees.

Autonomous AI-powered addiction recovery resource platform

A network of city-specific recovery resource sites, each equipped with an AI chatbot named Sam who talks to people struggling with addiction — at 3am, on holidays, whenever they need help. Behind the scenes, 8 specialized AI agents handle content generation, SEO optimization, security monitoring, data management, analytics, backups, and image processing as an autonomous swarm.

The decision layer learns from its own recommendations and adjusts in real time. The entire system runs on a single Google Cloud server and is operated from a phone. No team. No VC funding. Just one developer and Claude.
