- End-to-End SMB Infrastructure: Designed and deployed commercial LAN/WAN networks, firewalls, virtualization hosts, and Windows Server environments for regional business clients.
Flagship Architectural Deployments & Case Studies
Production Systems & Open-Source ProofCDTA Unified Toxicology Operations & DOT Compliance Suite
Consolidated a fragmented multi-vendor clinical operation (Wix, QuickBooks, spreadsheets, paper faxes) into a single high-concurrency Odoo 20 & AWS platform. Engineered public donor booking (/book), walk-in self-service kiosks (/kiosk), employer DOT random pool automation (/consortium), electronic Chain of Custody, and bank-grade encrypted PDF delivery for Probation Officers.
CoquiAudit, CoquiProposals & CoquiPulse — Sovereign Odoo 20 FinOps, SOW & SLA Suite
Engineered a commercial suite of native Odoo 20 Community modules replacing fragmented B2B SaaS subscriptions: CoquiAudit (interactive FinOps & SaaS sprawl TCO calculator at /audit-calculator), CoquiProposals (interactive milestone Statement of Work studio with HTML5 Canvas e-signatures and SHA-256 audit hashes at /proposals), and CoquiPulse (live HTTP/TLS infrastructure SLA portal at /status).
PasteRich™ Daemon & Coqui Cloud Odoo 20 Enterprise Addon Suite
Built and shipped commercial-grade open-source and Odoo 20 applications—including PasteRich™ (global hotkey Markdown-to-Rich-Text daemon), CoquiCal (native Cal.com scheduling engine), and the Enterprise Digital Business Card vCard app published on the Odoo App Store.
Industrial & Medical Hybrid-Cloud Modernization (Proxmox VE & Azure AVD)
Architected high-availability Proxmox VE clusters, parallel 50+ hour Azure Virtual Desktop & SharePoint migrations, and isolated SMBv1 Samba bridge appliances that safely connected 30-year-old industrial steel-mill machinery to modern zero-trust networks.
Cognitive Engineering & Logic Orchestration
-
1. Logic vs. Syntax Separation:
I operate as a Systems Director and Logic Orchestrator. Rather than manually typing boilerplate syntax from rote memory, I map the 3D architectural boundaries, security threat models, and data schemas—then direct specialized AI swarms to execute the raw syntax at hyper-speed. -
2. Adversarial AI Guardrails:
Every AI pipeline I deploy is governed by deterministic validation layers (Inquisitor & Paradox Hunter nodes) that audit outputs against strict regulatory rules (HIPAA, FDA SaMD, DOT) to eliminate hallucinations before they touch production databases. -
3. Visceral Field-Tested ROI:
Whether eradicating the "15–20 page waiting-room clipboard penalty" across 6 clinics and 2 hospitals or slashing enterprise MarTech and SaaS sprawl costs by 98% (,200/mo to under /mo) via sovereign Odoo 20 & AI orchestration, every blueprint is measured by real-world human and financial impact.
