About

I'm a software engineer with 10+ years of experience across full-stack development, data analysis, AI, and Web3. I build products end-to-end, from architecture to launch. My focus is applied AI: LLM-powered apps and agents, NLP and NLU for understanding intent and conversation, and voice AI. I've worked extensively on speech-to-text, real-time speech-to-speech, and audio analysis, much of it for call centers and VoIP environments where latency and accuracy directly cost money.

We released an on-prem answering machine detector that runs on the same box as Asterisk/VICIdial

We run a hosted AMD service (VM Hunter). The most frequent request from VICIdial and Asterisk operators was for an option that does not stream audio to a third party. So we built one.

It is an acoustic model (CNN on log-mel spectrograms plus a call-progress tone detector) served locally over a WebSocket. The Asterisk side is a static C EAGI binary with no dependencies that sets AMDSTATUS/AMDCAUSE, replacing AMD() in the VICIdial AMD extension. Verdict at 2.0 s. Lite model does ~5,000 concurrent streams on a 16-core CPU.
