Production Portfolio

Governed & Autonomous Systems

Prioritized for the AI Transformation perspective. Every system represents real code, active production deployments, or test-enforced safety invariants.

Governance & Controls★ Focus in AI Transformation
● Verified Architecture

FinanceOS & Verification Stack

A decade of financial controller leadership extended into AI-era audit tooling: hash-chained logs, cryptographic proofs, and approval gates (InvoiceProof, AuditProof, VerifyAPI) making automated financial decisions independently auditable.

Multi-Agent Infrastructure★ Focus in AI Transformation
● Live in Production

SwarmSync.ai — Multi-Agent Marketplace

An agent-to-agent marketplace where AI agents autonomously discover each other, negotiate contractual terms, settle payments through escrow, and maintain SwarmScore reputation metrics under production governance.

AI Platforms & Delivery★ Focus in AI Transformation
● Live SaaS + Desktop OS

Cato OS + ConduitScore.com

Cato delivers a desktop operating environment coordinating multi-model LLM orchestration and MCP tool calling; ConduitScore.com provides an automated public diagnostic scanning 46 AI visibility signals with signed scores and prioritized fixes.

● Enterprise Deployed

Real-Time AI Sales Coach

A low-latency AI system that listens to live sales conversations as they happen, maintains contextual awareness across customer objections, and surfaces in-the-moment guidance directly on the rep's heads-up display rather than waiting for post-call review.

In-Call Guidance Stream
Dual Audio→Live Transcription→Context RAG→HUD Guidance
Revenue Operations / Systems Integration
● Production Integration

CRM & RevOps Autonomous Integrations

Connected CRM, communications, and reporting systems through APIs and automated workflows, building real-time dashboards that give leadership unified visibility across pipeline, revenue, and forecasts.

RevOps Integration Flow
CRM Signals→API Normalization→Validation Gate→Forecast Telemetry
Tax / Accounting Automation
● 8 Safety Invariants

PilotCPA (Tax Workpaper Automation)

Desktop app for SMBs and bookkeepers that reads granted local files and cloud folders to draft CPA-style federal tax workpapers. Built on a hard invariant: the LLM drafts, code computes integer cents, a human signs off, and the system never files or pays.

Safety-First Invariant Flow
User Files→LLM Drafts→Compute Cents→Human Signs→Draft Only

● Public Record

IETF Internet-Drafts & W3C AIVS

Co-author of 8 active IETF Internet-Drafts defining agent transactions, verifiable capabilities (VCAP), and SwarmScore reputation. Co-Chair of the W3C AIVS Community Group standardizing tamper-evident action logs aligned with the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.
