About

I build AI systems, agent workflows, and full-stack products that automate real work. By day: AI Systems & Agent Platform Engineer at Aetna (CVS Health), focused on LLM evaluation, reliability systems, and enterprise AI transformation. By night: Founder of Appy Hour Labs and creator of Telos-OS — an open-source framework that turns real-world optimization problems into declarative YAML manifests solved by MILP. I believe infrastructure decisions should be driven by math, not meetings. Telos-OS is how I'm making that real. Previously: Built the AI Workforce Lab — 7 AI agents running autonomously on a Mac Mini, complete with eval gates, approval queues, and security-first governance. Based in Connecticut. Coach youth softball, soccer, and basketball when I'm not writing solvers.

Telos-OS - Declarative optimization that turns YAML into decisions

Telos-OS is an open-source Python framework that turns real-world optimization problems into declarative YAML manifests. Define your variables, constraints, and objectives — a MILP solver finds the optimal answer. Actuators execute decisions automatically across Docker, Kubernetes, or your own stack. No optimization PhD required. 16+ production-ready templates spanning energy dispatch, traffic routing, manufacturing, portfolio allocation, and more. MIT licensed. pip install telos-os and solve.
