Hey 👋

I like building AI systems that actually solve real problems 🚀

Right now I'm the Lead AI Engineer at AnSer in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We have 2x NVIDIA DIGITS linked together to harness compute for up to 400B param models at smaller quants (mainly running 120B OSS GPT models). I've processed over 3.5 million calls through our automated QA pipelines. We're basically reshaping how call centers work - automated texting, on-call management, smart routing with DispatchMe.ai.

On the side, I'm building VoiceScholar.ai where students can record lectures and study them later while playing 2048 (because why not make learning fun?). I also built DealershipMagic.ai which turns iPhone car photos into professional dealership shots - 10k+ dealerships, 2M+ photos processed.

I started these solo projects to learn AI tooling and honestly just to see if I could. Turns out you can learn a lot by building stuff people actually use.

I spend most of my time on GitHub, LinkedIn, or with Claude Code.

Experience

Lead AI Engineer

Jan 2025 - Present

AnSer – Answering Services and Call Centers

  • • Managing the full AI stack - DevOps, GitHub repos with custom rules, code reviews, the whole deal
  • • Design and build infrastructure for all new products and services - basically the technical architect for anything new we ship
  • • Leading cross-functional dev teams and keeping projects on track
  • • Running our 2x NVIDIA DIGITS setup - mainly running 120B OSS GPT models
  • • Built a real-time monitoring server with 8 NICs processing UDP streams from our Adtran - decoding SIP data and G.711/G.729 codecs into stereo WAV files for the QA pipeline
  • • Building speech recognition and speaker diarization systems with NVIDIA NeMo and Pyannote.audio

AI Engineer

May 2024 - Jan 2025

AnSer – Answering Services and Call Centers

  • • Was the sole AI engineer building everything from scratch to optimize call center operations
  • • Built systems that processed 400k+ calls and ran 1M+ evaluations across 30+ different methods using open-source LLMs
  • • Created a Next.js/TypeScript dashboard so supervisors and agents could actually see what was going on with their calls
  • • Shipped a revenue-generating messaging system with Azure PostgreSQL, Python, Twilio, and ChatGPT - basically routes emergency calls automatically

AI Intern

Dec 2023 - May 2024

AnSer – Answering Services and Call Centers

  • • Got thrown into building an MVP to figure out if AI was even worth it for the company (spoiler: it was)
  • • Built the entire pipeline: call gets recorded → transcribed → diarized → evaluated by an LLM. Fully automated QA.
  • • Proved that LLMs could actually judge how well agents were doing their jobs
  • • Pretty much worked solo on this, which was both terrifying and awesome

Founder & CEO

2024 - Present

VoiceScholar.ai

  • • Building a platform where students upload lectures and get study materials back - trying to make note-taking obsolete
  • • Working on speech-to-text that's smart enough to pull out the actual important concepts
  • • Added games like 2048 because studying should be fun
  • • Figuring out user acquisition and product-market fit in the edtech space

Projects

Favorite AI Tools

These are the AI tools I use daily to build better software faster. They've completely changed how I work.

#1

Claude Code

My absolute favorite coding assistant. Claude Code is a game-changer for software development - it understands context deeply, writes clean code, and actually helps me think through complex problems. Built by Anthropic.
