I take on the problems other people call impossible, abandoned, or not worth it — and I ship the answer to where it actually runs and earns money. Not a slide, not a prototype: the real thing, in production, billing clients every day.
You don't need another technician. You need someone who gets in where others can't, and comes back with something that works.
I build AI that a business can invoice on. A legal-transcription service runs on a pipeline I built end to end — it works largely on its own, and professionals bill their own clients on what it produces, every day. Not a demo: a paying operation.
I've run money at scale. I built a systematic trading fund from nothing — the strategies, the plumbing, the risk controls — trading around $9 billion a month.
I open what's locked. Ten years in the security press cracking closed systems. I reopened an audio format Olympus had sealed since 1994; the fix is now going into FFmpeg, the tool the whole industry relies on. "Impossible to read" is usually where I start.
| Trusted-Transcription | Catches an AI's confident mistakes before they reach a client — what turns an impressive demo into something you can invoice. |
| FLAC Detective | Spots fake hi-fi — music sold as studio-quality that was secretly compressed — and only says so when the proof is overwhelming. |
| Open-Alpha-Lab | Hundreds of famous stock-market "winning formulas", put to one honest test. Almost none survive; the rest are illusions. |
| DS2-Anywhere | Opens Olympus dictation recordings on any computer — a format locked shut since 1994, finally cracked open. |
| HAP-Revival | Sony walked away from its high-end music players in 2021. I'm bringing them back to life. |
| Prometheus-Station | A solar-powered box that serves all of Wikipedia with no internet — a lighthouse for disaster zones. |
I publish my dead ends next to my wins. It's the only thing that makes the wins believable.
The platform that pays the bills stays under NDA — I'll gladly walk a serious party through how it's built, privately.
