Profile

AI architect and systems engineer who designs and ships self-hosted, autonomous AI infrastructure end to end — agent orchestration, local-first model routing, retrieval and memory, and production deploy-with-rollback. A decade across software engineering, DevOps, and large-scale delivery, leading cross-functional teams on multi-million-dollar programs.

Deterministic code where it belongs; models where they earn their place.

Selected AI & Systems Work

Independent / Founder — Virohanalife OÜ · 2023–Present

Designed and operate a self-hosted, autonomous multi-agent platform that plans, builds, tests, and ships software with automatic rollback — engineered to run at near-zero runtime cost.
Built production, OAuth-secured MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that expose curated tools to AI clients with scoped, auditable access.
Architected a local-first model-routing layer (deterministic logic → local model → frontier) so the large majority of work never touches a paid API.
Engineered a vector-indexed memory substrate (Postgres + HNSW) giving agents durable cross-session recall, backed by a live knowledge graph.
Shipped a native iOS app with on-device inference, voice, and sync; automated deterministic tax/compliance reconstruction against signed government APIs.
