13+ years at Apple building and operating Siri at production scale. Founder of Mriya Research LLC — empirical consciousness research and a hundreds-of-hours lecture archive I produce end to end. Shipping a public Grok Bot fleet (analysis, sound, CAD, BCI). Looking for AI, space, and robot companies that need someone who has already run the machine.
01 — Why me
Senior software engineer with experience in architecture, deployment, and day-to-day operations of thousands-server environments — performance- and reliability-focused data engineering, production debugging, and the full path from datacenter automation to application-level support.
A decade-plus inside Apple’s Siri org — from Internet Services Group infrastructure through Operations, Reliability Engineering, and senior software roles. Knows how voice assistants fail in production and how to keep them up.
Architecture, deployment, and day-to-day ops of thousands-server environments: datacenter deploys, Puppet automation, speech/runtime support, performance and reliability data analysis.
Public Grok Bot fleet — Data Ink, Yusician, Solid Vibe, Neuroscience — live at FLEET Desk. Plus Xcode ACP bridges, Grok Lens, and Intel macOS Grok Bot ports. Agents that actually ship work.
Founded Mriya Research LLC to run empirical consciousness research. Built a long-form lecture archive — camera, lighting, record, edit, publish — and maintain hundreds of hours of that corpus. Same production discipline as large-scale ops: end-to-end ownership.
02 — The fleet
Every public Grok Bot I've shipped — catalogued live, each with a working sample of what it actually does.
mono-fleet.grok.me
R + Tufte-clean plots and maps. Hand it a CSV, paste, path, or public table — it returns the figure.
Generates songs with yue2-mlx on Apple Silicon (MLX/Metal). Style + lyrics in, 48 kHz WAV out.
Grok Bot for dimensioned CAD briefs (STEP/STL/3MF) on FreeCAD. Contributor to the VibeCAD fork — not the project owner.
EEG/BCI signal interpretation, brain-state decoding, OpenBCI hardware — technical and honest about limits.

04 — Selected work
Fly-brain robot control, ReBot simulators, MLX audio, SpaceX trajectory research, EEG instruments — original public work.
Public watch of Slop Cannon music videos on X — 520 clips, creator filters, weekly counts (PT), and a random pull. The creators listed made the videos with Slop Cannon (slop.cc).
Every public Grok Bot I have shipped, in one place — with a working sample of what each one actually does. Catalog scans X share links and grokbots.best.
MaleCNS fly brain as an external controller for the ReBot B601-DM: optical neurons in, scored descending-neuron bus out, IK in the lab. Weights on Hugging Face.
Native macOS (SwiftUI / RealityKit) and browser simulators for the ReBot B601-DM — solid-floor contact, motion planning, actuator reference, and MCP control.
YuE2 song generation native on Apple Silicon via MLX/Metal. Lyrics + style in, 48 kHz stereo WAV out. No CUDA at runtime. Powers the Yusician bot.
TimesFM-3 zero-shot multivariate trajectory for SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) — 1/5/10-year quantile bands, method written out. Research note, not investment advice.
Native EEG instrument for the Ultracortex Mark IV: record, playback, traces, spectra, head plot. macOS and Linux via BrainFlow.
05 — Capabilities
Breadth across infrastructure, Siri-scale reliability, agents, and hardware — depth where production pressure is real.
06 — Signal
For years I've recorded, produced, and edited courses on consciousness — not as a side hobby, but as a rigorous practice of noticing how systems (including minds) actually work.
A public log of Slop Cannon music videos posted on X — filter by creator, group by week, or pull one at random.
