About
Founder of Buffalo Jump Forge, an AI + hardware practice based in Three Forks, Montana. After 11 years at Microsoft and a stint as Distinguished Solution Architect at Harper, I’ve turned my attention to the intersection of two things I love most: applied AI systems and custom electronics.
What I build:
- AI Systems & Agents — multi-model orchestration, LLM tool use, retrieval, local-first AI
- Embedded Systems & Firmware — ESP32, C/C++, RTOS, sensor integration
- PCB Design & Hardware Bring-Up — KiCAD, small-batch manufacturing
- Distributed & Cloud-Native Software — Python, Node.js, Go
Current focus: Memento, a local-first AI supervisor that routes between Claude, Gemini, and Ollama — plus three end-to-end hardware + software systems through Buffalo Jump Forge: ranch infrastructure, astronomy, and LED.
