Nashville, TN
I build things.
Entrepreneur, patented inventor, and CTO. Over twenty years of shipping software, now running a small family of companies (an AI infrastructure company, a hardware studio, a ticketing platform, a pinball bar), and I help companies put AI to work.

tiltab.com ···Putting AI to work
Over twenty years of building systems that have to be right.
I help companies leverage the power of AI. As Co-Founder and CTO of Listening Post, I build and run AI systems in production.
AI strategy, architecture, agentic systems, data pipelines, and getting a prototype into production fast. Healthcare, FDA-regulated, music rights, and data-intelligence work taught me to build systems that are auditable and boring in the best way.
- Agentic AI, LLM harnesses, MCP
- Self-hosted and open-weight models
- Turning messy data into AI-ready data
- Auditable AI: access control, audit logs, SOC 2
- Prototype to production on AWS and GCP
- Real-time and agent interfaces: WebSockets, WebRTC, REST
- Regulated industries: healthcare, FDA, HL7
- Zero-trust, cloud or on-premises deployment
Collaborative Artificial Intelligence Platform With Real-time Multi-user Interaction and Intelligent Task Routing
Co-inventor of a model-agnostic orchestration platform. A manager agent splits a complex request into subtasks and routes each to the best-suited AI agent using continuously measured benchmarks, with running tasks that can be changed mid-flight, conflicts detected across parallel work, and every action and agent choice recorded in a tamper-resistant audit log.
