Production Portfolio

Six Governed & Autonomous Systems

Every system represents real code, active production deployments, or test-enforced safety invariants.

Governance & Controls● Verified Architecture

FinanceOS & Verification Stack

A decade of financial controller leadership extended into AI-era audit tooling: hash-chained logs, cryptographic proofs, and approval gates (InvoiceProof, AuditProof, VerifyAPI) making automated financial decisions independently auditable.

Sales Operations / Real-Time RAG● Enterprise Deployed

Real-Time AI Sales Coach

A low-latency AI system that listens to live sales conversations as they happen, maintains contextual awareness across customer objections, and surfaces in-the-moment guidance directly on the rep's heads-up display rather than waiting for post-call review.

Tax / Accounting Automation● 8 Safety Invariants

PilotCPA (Tax Workpaper Automation)

Desktop app for SMBs and bookkeepers that reads granted local files and cloud folders to draft CPA-style federal tax workpapers. Built on a hard invariant: the LLM drafts, code computes integer cents, a human signs off, and the system never files or pays.
