About this card The NFC tag — and how it works

If you're holding the physical card, there's a small NFC chip embedded in it — the same contactless tech as tap-to-pay. Hold the card to the back of most phones and this page opens: no app, no QR code, nothing to install. If that's how you landed here, that's it working.

I program and brand these cards myself. Small thing — but it's the whole idea in miniature: technology that's genuinely useful and stays out of your way. Same standard behind the automation and AI work.

For a fuller example of what that looks like in practice, see GBGreg — a multi-agent AI & pattern library I built and run in production. It's the best public-facing snapshot of the kind of work I'm doing right now.

No physical card? Everything on it is on this page — tap Save Contact at the top to add me to your phone.

14 years in laboratory automation — most recently as Principal Application Scientist at Biosero, where I led Green Button Go deployments across dozens of pharma and biotech clients including a 3-year embedded role at Eli Lilly. Hamilton STAR, multi-instrument orchestration, and full-stack software — plus AI/ML engineering: RAG pipelines, local LLM infrastructure, and production data systems. Now I'm independent and bringing all of it to clients directly.

Biosero — Principal Application Scientist

Led Green Button Go deployments across dozens of pharma and biotech clients. System integration, scheduling optimization, multi-instrument orchestration across 20+ platforms. Hamilton STAR, Tecan, Biomek.

Eli Lilly — 3-Year Embedded Deployment

Primary on-site automation engineer for Lilly biologics via Biosero. Cell line development, high-throughput screening, SAT/FAT execution, workflow design.

Automated Documentation Generator

Structured technical docs from code, configs, and system metadata. Eliminates manual documentation burden.

Searchable Knowledge Archive

Historical data indexed and queryable via natural language. Institutional knowledge as an instant-access resource.

RAG-Powered Software Assistant

Retrieval-augmented generation over proprietary codebases and method libraries. Context-aware answers from your own data.

AI Training & Onboarding Tool

Adaptive training system that accelerates onboarding for complex technical workflows.

Intelligent Support System

AI-driven troubleshooting and triage. Resolves common issues before they reach your team.

Data Governance & AI Strategy

Classification frameworks, access control architecture, audit trails, and compliance-aware pipelines. Practical governance that enables AI adoption instead of blocking it.

On-Premises Edge Computing

Hardened portable server deployed at your site. Your data never leaves your building. Full disk encryption, audit trails, and framework-specific controls.

Compliance-Aware by Design

Before an engagement requires it, the architecture is mapped against HIPAA, CMMC/NIST 800-171, PCI-DSS, ITAR, GLBA, FERPA, GDPR, and SOC 2. Fail-closed network isolation, de-identification pipelines, and clear data-custody chains are built in from the start — security homework done early, not bolted on.

Air-Gapped AI & Analytics

Local LLM inference, RAG pipelines, and data analysis on sensitive data — no cloud dependencies. GPU-accelerated processing on-site or via encrypted tunnel with full chain-of-custody.
