P.Eng. | MBA | Electrical Engineer | Investor | Calgary, AB
Systems engineer. Builder. I turn ideas into durable systems -- power grids, analytics engines, AI tools. The discipline is the same.
22 years. Five companies. Systems that cannot afford to fail.

Power systems, substations, thermal power plants, protection coordination, arc flash analysis. I design systems where downtime has physical consequences. That standard carries into everything else I build.

The engineering taught me how systems fail. The MBA taught me how operations fail. Wharton and Harvard taught me how decisions fail. I got interested in what better tools would look like.
What I build. Everything is live. Everything is open-source.
Open-source AI toolkit. Your data stays on your machine. The tool does the math, you make the call.
RustPythonCloudflare Workers
PAE // personal analytics engine
Investment analytics for regular people. 11 modules -- risk, margin, regime detection, and more.
RustPythonCTypeScript
Research Analyst // live
AI research tool. Pulls from multiple sources, cross-references, writes structured reports.
PythonCloudflare PagesWorkers
LocalLLM Engine // live
Run language models on your own hardware. Error recovery, circuit breaking, memory management.

No fluff. No theory for its own sake. Implementation-first.
The tool does the math. You make the decision.
Your data stays on your machine. I do not see it.
Everything is open-source. If I built it, you can read it.
Privacy is how the system is built, not a policy that could change.
I prefer surgical, low-friction fixes over broad theoretical answers.
If something fails, I want the root cause and the next move. Not a workaround.
Backend: Rust, Python, C Frontend: vanilla TypeScript Infra: Cloudflare Workers, Oracle Cloud
No Docker. No unnecessary dependencies. Lean and modifiable.
Active investor. Disciplined. Data-driven.
I invest with the same systems thinking I apply to engineering -- evidence-driven analysis, risk quantification, regime detection. PAE exists because I wanted these tools for myself first.
I track and analyze across multiple brokerages. I study market structure, not tips. If you want to talk about building analytical frameworks for personal investing, or about the tools themselves, reach out.
