At the Intersection of
Industry & Intelligence

I am a results-driven Beverage Industry Executive and Machine Learning Engineer specializing at the intersection of operational excellence and automated intelligence. My career spans from managing complex brewery and restaurant group operations to architecting AI-driven systems that transform raw market data into scalable commercial growth.

Leveraging deep domain expertise in beverage supply chains and premium portfolio launches, I now build end-to-end data pipelines and ML models designed to solve real-world operational friction. Whether it's optimizing distributor accountability through predictive analytics or deploying automated content engines for niche markets, my focus is on replacing manual bottlenecks with high-integrity digital workflows.

Technical Focus: Machine Learning Architecture, LLM Orchestration, Automated Market Intelligence, and Data-Informed Commercial Strategy.

Selected Projects

Bobby Agent OS — Self-Modifying Multi-Channel AI Operator

A production AI agent designed and built end-to-end on a dedicated M-Series Edge Server, networked via Tailscale. Bobby operates across five surfaces — Telegram, web dashboard, Twitter, Ghost CMS, and GitHub. The architecture is an Express.js orchestration layer wrapping the Anthropic SDK, with smart per-message model routing across Claude Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5. Memory is a four-store system — LanceDB vector search, a verbatim layer capturing both sides of every exchange, a validity store with temporal Phase 3A tracking (valid_from / valid_until / superseded_by), and a scope store auto-tagging each memory across six context dimensions via keyword inference and channel signals. A self-reconciling integrity check runs before every scheduled backup, catching orphan records, count mismatches, and enum violations automatically. Scanner subreddits, model selection, and lead-quality thresholds are externalized to editable config files with graceful fallback — no code changes required. Bobby runs concurrent production and staging environments under PM2 supervision, with daily backup automation, millisecond-precision timestamps, and retention pruning.
