I am a mechanical engineer who sells carbon capture projects. This page is what happened in the 137 days since, and the numbers on it are republished from the metrics log of the automation fleet they describe. Nothing here is a mockup.
The rust you can see in May is a backend migration silently failing. The metrics log caught it: May ran at 23.7% failures, June at 2%, and the June 24 revert closed out the root cause for good. I left the bad weeks on the chart because a fleet you can trust is one whose owner does not hide its incidents.

+ 7,474 lightweight scheduler ticks (a 15-minute content-queue check) excluded above so the real work is readable.
Before any of this I was the opposite of a software person. Licensed mechanical P.E. in North Carolina and South Carolina, HVAC design on pharmaceutical cleanrooms, then capital equipment sales, roughly $3M in revenue in 18 months. Today I am VP of business development at a carbon capture company: I took an industrial CO2 plant from construction to beverage-grade qualified production, and I carry the offtake LOI book. The fleet exists because I needed leverage, not because I needed a hobby.
Small teams are home. In my day job I am the BD lead, the plant-startup engineer, and the toolsmith, usually in the same afternoon.
What I bring is the pairing: I can build the AI employee, and I can also sit across from the client who is buying it, scope it in their language, and close. I know what a cabinetry shop's estimator actually worries about, because I have been an estimator and I have sold to them.
Building and delivering client AIs, teaching the classes, closing the accounts, or all three. I live in Point Hope, a few minutes from Jessen Lane, and the fleet is live any day you want to see it run.
