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 two-machine 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 coursework, 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 two-machine mesh that routes its own work

gibsonWORKSTATION archivesALWAYS-ON
  • 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.

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.

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, 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.

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 code started for me. I ran CNC machines and G-code, and it was the first time I rewrote the program to fix the problem in front of me instead of waiting for someone else to: removing redundant probe cycles cut cycle time from 8 to 4 minutes across 1,050 parts. Automate the annoying part, write it down so it outlives you: the same instinct running my whole agent estate now.
