Portfolio: github.com/AionSystem
DOI Index: 17 Citable Works

Summary

I build systems. Over two years of independent engineering, I created the AION Constitutional Stack — 17 frameworks, 9 repositories, 2,040+ files, and a working certainty scoring engine. My work is timestamped, sealed via Zenodo (17 DOIs), and open for review.

I am now seeking freelance opportunities in:

  • Web scraping and data extraction
  • Data processing, cleaning, and normalization
  • Simulation development (Python)
  • AI training and validation (physics, math, logic)
  • Educational content generation

Experience

Role Organization Dates Key Achievements
Founder & AI Reliability Architect AionSystem 2024–Present Built 17 frameworks, 9 repositories, 2,040+ files from scratch without institutional backing
Certified Nursing Assistant Samaritan Keep Home 2024–2025 High-stakes precision care — zero tolerance for error in patient-facing decisions

Infantryman (11B) NY Army National Guard 2011–2019 Eight years of mission-critical logistics and tactical execution under pressure

Why My Background Matters for AI Work

Military service, corrections, and healthcare taught me that protocol failure has immediate human consequence. I bring that standard to AI reliability. Every output I produce is tagged with evidence level ([D] Data, [R] Reasoned, [S] Strategic, [?] Unverified). Nothing exits without a tag. Nothing is presented as more certain than it is.
