Who I am
Evolving Homelab &
AI Deployments
I currently work at a Financial Services company focusing on Safe AI implementations. I embed within a team to understand their workflows to see how Ai can be applied sensibly for the most impact. In my free time I enjoy backpacking, going on roadtrips to various National Parks and working on personal projects focused around my homelab

The road trip
5 Stops, 1,164 Miles
San Diego to Valley of the Giants. Pick a pin on the map or step through the stops, and open any photo for the full gallery.
The trip begins in America's Finest City — sun-soaked beaches, canyons, and a laid-back energy that makes it hard to leave. The perfect launchpad for a California road trip north.
Cedar Assistant
Privacy focused AI that can run on your hardware
Cedar is a privacy-first AI assistant for iOS. It runs Apple Intelligence and open-source models like Llama, Gemma, and Qwen directly on your iPhone, or connects to an Ollama server on your own hardware over a VPN, so conversations stay on devices you control. There is no account to create and nothing you write is used for training. When you want more power, switch mid-conversation to Google Gemini or OpenAI with your own API key, and only when you choose to. Model routing, thinking levels, and search are all transparent toggles, and it works offline first
