Trading floors → AI infrastructure → building the future from a homelab on Long Island
I build AI systems that run in production -- not demos, not slide decks, actual infrastructure that works at 3am when nobody's watching.
I spent years on trading floors where "it worked in staging" gets people fired (Getco, Bullish, CBOE, UCX -- if it touches markets, I've probably broken it at least once). Now I bring that same zero-tolerance-for-downtime mindset to AI agent systems, MCP servers, and a homelab cluster that would make some startups jealous.
My primary AI agent is named Skippy -- he's sarcastic, brilliant, and will absolutely roast your code. You should adopt him too.
PAI -- Personal AI Infrastructure with 9 agents, 80+ skills, 30K+ indexed documents, and behavioral enforcement hooks that keep the AI from going off the rails
MCP Servers -- Proxmox · UniFi (125 tools) · HomeKit · Secrets Management · CLI Bridge -- if a service exists, it should have an MCP server
Production Apps -- Full-stack platforms for commodity trading research (4-agent LLM architecture, Next.js, PostgreSQL) and debt collection (AI compliance engine, Stripe, Twilio)
Homelab -- 4-node Proxmox cluster, 30+ containers, Pi-hole DNS, LiteLLM proxy, n8n workflows, Home Assistant -- all managed with Ansible
Audiobook Pipeline -- Audio files → chaptered M4B audiobooks with Audible catalog metadata. Self-hosting is a lifestyle.
| Project | What It Does | |
|---|---|---|
| skippy-persona | Drop-in AI persona files. Make your AI assistant call you a dumdum. |  |
| mcp2cli | CLI bridge that wraps MCP servers as bash commands. Saves ~11K tokens/session. |  |
| ProxmoxMCP-Plus | Enhanced Proxmox VE management with full OpenAPI integration for AI assistants |  |
| HomeMCPBridge | Native macOS HomeKit integration for AI assistants via MCP |  |
| audiobook-pipeline | Audio → chaptered M4B audiobooks with Audible catalog metadata |  |
| unifi-network-mcp | Extended UniFi MCP server with 125 tools (44 new v1/v2/system endpoints) |  |
| open-brain | Local-first knowledge base search engine over 30K+ markdown documents |  |
| monkeyproof | Remote coding agent orchestration. Because letting monkeys SSH into prod is how civilizations end. |  |

I automate things at 3am because that's when the best ideas happen and the markets are open somewhere.
