I build systems that run themselves.


Most résumés list what someone was allowed to do inside a job. This one shows what I do when nobody is assigning the work.

On my own machine I run a fleet of AI agents that build and ship real software while I sleep — a three-node operation with its own memory, budget, approval gates, and a loop that measures its own output and gets cheaper every week. The IT foundation underneath is real too: Security+, CCNA, hands-on network and systems work.

The proof · a self-orchestrating agent estate

I didn't take a course on this. There wasn't one.

I designed, built, and operate an autonomous multi-agent system, solo. It is the portfolio — everything below came out of it. I read the docs, wired the pieces, broke it a hundred times, and kept the thing running. That is the actual skill: turning something ambiguous and unbuilt into infrastructure that holds up without me babysitting it.

How it's built

A three-node mesh that routes its own work

gibsonWORKSTATION archivesALWAYS-ON cloud VMSWARM
  • Persistent memory as source code. Agents read and write a structured memory layer, so lessons survive across sessions. The system remembers its own mistakes instead of repeating them.
  • Human-in-the-loop gates. Anything irreversible or costing money stops and waits for me. Everything reversible just runs.
  • Cost engineering. A free-first router keeps routine traffic on $0 local/free-tier providers with per-call token accounting and a self-tuning provider loop.
The self-improvement loop

It critiques itself, then fixes the highest-leverage thing

  1. 01 all activity → one warehouse
  2. 02 digested into a state-of-estate briefing
  3. 03 critiqued by a second AI as adversary
  4. 04 highest-leverage fix shipped
  5. 05 verified against a real metric → repeat
  • Made reliable, the hard way. Migrated it off a desktop that slept onto an always-on node; promoted the database to a cloud write-master so no one machine is a point of failure; added supervision and a fail-fast circuit breaker so a stuck agent can't quietly burn hours or money.

A terminal panel replays real entries from an overnight autonomous run: hardening the cross-node queue, closing guardrail holes, a claim-to-complete round-trip landing in history for the first time, and the free-first router holding 601 of 602 metered calls at zero dollars.

Work history — including the short chapters

The honest version, not the padded one.

I'm not going to stretch two-week jobs into six months. Short stints taught me things fast; here's the whole picture, flattering parts and not.

2025 – Present

Founder & Solo Engineer

The Sound Method · thesoundmethod.me

Run an end-to-end AI products business alone: storefront, digital delivery, agent automation, content, support. Every layer — idea to production to handing it off so it keeps running without me.

2025 – Present

Freelance IT & Technical Contractor

Sacramento Area

Contract IT and systems work for small businesses: network and hardware buildout, user access and security config, Python/PowerShell automation, documented so it stays maintainable. Run a personal pen-testing lab for ongoing practice.

Dec 2023 – Aug 2025

IT & Door Security (part-time)

Just the Sip · Sunol, CA

Part-time work for a family-owned spot while I finished school — and it was really two jobs. I built and ran the network: 100+ ft of structured CAT5, dual routers/modems and a switch, 99.9% uptime, hardened with MAC filtering, secure config, and a password policy. I also worked the door, which is where I got good at threat assessment: reading a room, catching the problem before it becomes one, deciding fast with real stakes. Closer to watching a system for the thing about to break than you'd think.

"He often made them better… a sharp eye for weak points and a knack for solutions that are both practical and cost-effective." — Savren Thompson, COO
Aug – Nov 2023

Wildfire Evaluator

Wildfire Services Group · Butte County, CA

Coordinated a 6-person field team and ran residential wildfire-risk assessments. Educated hundreds of homeowners on mitigation in plain language — how to translate a scary technical risk into something a non-technical person will actually act on. That skill shows up everywhere now, from client handoffs to the course I built.

FIP Operator

Modus

Where security and code started for me. First time I touched security tooling (Azure), and the first time I wrote code to solve the problem in front of me instead of waiting for someone else to. The work was operating Precise laser scanners — and I ended up writing the documentation and small programs that taught the next operators how to run them and made the machines less painful to work with. Automate the annoying part, write it down so it outlives you: the same instinct running my whole agent estate now.

Shannon Management

Two weeks. It wasn't the right fit and I moved on. It's here because I said I'd show the whole picture, not just the parts that flatter me.
