From the board to the byte. Same person, same week.
Now — Production AI that bills. Whisper + Claude pipeline, 9 servers, ~70% unattended. Court officers invoice on it daily.
Before — Systematic fund I built end to end. $9B/mo volume, $51M AUM. 3,500 strategies running 24/5.
Always — Reverse engineer. 10 years in the security press, cracking protocols and writing proofs-of-concept. The Grundig/Olympus dictation codec, closed since 1994, is now in ffmpeg-devel review.
| Trusted-Transcription | ASR hallucination firewall — 7 detectors, LLM repair, MCP server. The generic layer extracted from production. |
| DS2-Anywhere | Cracked the Olympus DS2/DSS dictation format, closed since 1994. ~3,200 cron runs in prod. Patches sent upstream to FFmpeg. |
| FLAC Detective | Catches fake lossless files — spectral analysis + CNN. 11K files, zero false positives. |
| Open-Alpha-Lab | 962 trading ideas stress-tested in public. Nine survive, 789 are mirages. |
| PocketRoll | Custom FPGA core for the 1998 Game Boy Camera. |
| Prometheus-Station | Solar Raspberry Pi serving offline Wikipedia over LoRa. |
A legal-grade transcription platform under NDA — agent orchestration, MCP servers, 90KB rule base, 700-entry structured memory, multi-VM fleet. Architecture walkthrough available under NDA.
I publish the dead ends, not just the wins. It's the only thing that makes the wins credible.
