What I build

AI Systems

Layered LLM pipelines with vendor-neutral runtimes, prompt versioning, cost tracking, and deterministic structured extraction workflows.

Oil & Gas Intelligence

County clerk scraping, PDF OCR ingestion, and ownership chain reasoning over Texas Railroad Commission datasets.

FinTech & Blockchain

Stablecoin modeling, Ethereum privacy layers (Aztec), zero-knowledge system awareness, and financial infrastructure design.

Featured project

Ranger Discovery

Mineral rights ownership in Texas is buried in decades of paper deeds and lease amendments spread across county clerk offices. Ranger automates the extraction of structured ownership data from those documents — replacing hours of manual review with a pipeline that runs overnight. Built on a vendor-neutral LLM runtime with vision-first document processing, strict output validation, and per-token cost tracking across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini.

  • →Identified a real operational bottleneck in Texas mineral rights research and built a targeted solution
  • →Turns unstructured legal documents into queryable ownership data — replacing manual review
  • →Vendor-neutral LLM gateway — swap models without touching pipeline logic
  • →Vision-first processing — documents read as page images, no brittle OCR step
  • →Two-pass extraction: party identification → conveyance reasoning, all output schema-validated
  • →Per-token cost tracking across all providers for spend visibility at scale
