IsoCoreAI
The Architect
Seasoned Tech Practitioner.
I have spent nearly three decades building at the highest levels of complexity. My path began with service in the United States Marine Corps, followed by being the first network engineer hired at DreamWorks SKG. I then spent 27 years at Northrop Grumman delivering C4ISR and system engineering. Beyond the institution, I am a long-term DEFCON hacker and InfraGard volunteer, committed to the technical and security disciplines that define the edge.
But infrastructure is nothing without human insight. Parallel to my technical path, I am a hardcore nightclub veteran and worked for a matchmaker as a singles host—mastering the social engineering and human dynamics that formal systems often fail to capture.
With trusty CLI and mechanical keyboard in hand, I apply this 360-degree rigor to every project. In March of 2024, I recognized that the era of traditional engineering was ending. I didn't fight the arrival of frontier intelligence; I integrated it. This system is the result: a sovereign defense against obsolescence, ensuring unshakeable reliability regardless of whether the system is digital, human, or synthetic.
The Final Truth
I am a seasoned engineer choosing to spend the latter stage of my career building something meaningful. I bring a deep level of proficiency to system design—applying decades of experience to create a home-based environment that matches the scale and sophistication of high-budget corporate labs. I've automated the creation of 150+ hours of multi-modal AI content over 18 months with zero downtime. That's not a hobby. That's production infrastructure.
- World-class system architecture
- Professional-grade intelligence methodology
- Innovative AI tool usage
- Systematic approach to complex problems
I am building this system not because I'm backed by deep institutional funding, but because I am highly capable and self-determined. Doing more with less is the ultimate engineering challenge—one that requires more skill, not less.
The Architecture of Grit
Building frontier-class environments as an independent practitioner is an intentional choice to stay at the cutting edge. I am transparent about the fact that this is a self-funded mission. Through extreme optimization, I've brought this system's power and hardware footprint down to ~$40/month—proving that high-grade engineering isn't about spending more, but about knowing more. Your support through Patreon and Ko-fi validates this model of efficient, unthrottled independence.
March 2024 was a turning point. Obsolescence is a choice. I chose mastery. I am doing my best to prove that skill is the only true currency in the age of intelligence.
I've built enterprise-grade AI infrastructure in my home, automated complex creative workflows, and solved demanding engineering problems with limited resources. I am doing my best—leveraging methodologies that attract interest from the most rigorous technical circles.
I make computers do seemingly impossible things through pure skill. I build because that's what good engineers do. I refuse to stop.
