I build large-scale data platforms, and the tools that make them usable. 20 years turning messy data into systems people trust.
Voice Stack is the speech stack I built for my own homelab so I could keep ASR and TTS workloads close to the data I care about, mostly Bazarr in my media server and my OpenWebUI containers so I can literally talk to my AI.

view on GitHub →I started in MIS and BI back in the SAS and PL/SQL days, then worked through strategy, Lean and Six Sigma transformation, and into large-scale cloud data engineering. I build for the joy of it. Homelab, side projects, automation. I care most about eliminating waste and shipping things people actually use.
