I turn deep domain expertise — manufacturing operations and life-sciences lab automation alike — into reusable AI and automation your team owns and runs. Built to be an input that makes your people faster and your decisions sharper, never another monthly platform lock-in. Indiana-based, hands-on — the work, and the responsibility, stay yours.
I also ship live, working software — see a real multi-tenant demo suite running at acme.darn-tech.com. Real working software, demo data. Not mockups.
End-to-end consulting from system design through production support. Vendor-agnostic, code-first, and built to last.
System design, method development, workflow optimization, and vendor-agnostic integration for high-throughput environments. Hamilton, Tecan, Biomek, Bravo, and Green Button Go scheduling.
Production AI systems that solve real problems: knowledge retrieval, predictive analytics, computer vision, autonomous experimentation. Self-hosted or cloud. See details ↓
Full-stack applications, instrument control interfaces, LIMS integrations, real-time dashboards, and data pipeline automation. Python, TypeScript, Vue.js, C#, FastAPI.
Team mentoring, process improvement, documentation strategy, and knowledge transfer. Helping organizations build internal automation capability, not vendor dependency.
Not chatbot wrappers. Production AI systems with measurable outcomes — built on self-hosted, fail-closed infrastructure that keeps your data on your hardware, designed for regulated environments, and proven through real deployments.
Retrieval-augmented generation with hybrid search (vector + graph). Build institutional knowledge systems that actually understand your domain.
Structured predictions with confidence intervals, ensemble methods, and automated model selection. Designed for datasets where accuracy matters more than speed.
Image analysis, quality scoring, style-consistent generation, and visual inspection automation. From pixel-level analysis to production asset pipelines.
Overnight experiment orchestration with automated parameter sweeps, result scoring, and insight extraction. Let the machines run while you sleep.
Custom AI agents with tool use, MCP servers, and multi-agent orchestration. Connect AI capabilities to your existing systems and workflows.
On-premise LLM deployment, GPU cluster management, and inference optimization. Keep your data in-house while getting cloud-grade AI capabilities.
Projects spanning lab automation, AI systems, and infrastructure. Interactive demos available for select projects.
Automated liquid handling for HPLC sample prep across Tecan and Hamilton platforms. 300% throughput increase with full barcode tracking and LIMS integration.
High-throughput screening scheduler managing cell imaging, assay execution, and automated hit picking. 40% reduction in screening turnaround time.
Discrete event simulation and process improvement for laboratory workflows. Modeled bottlenecks, optimized resource allocation, reduced turnaround 40%.
Virtual Applications Scientist with 30-stage RAG pipeline. Hybrid retrieval using pgvector embeddings and Neo4j knowledge graph for domain-specific Q&A.
AI pixel art generation with SDXL, ControlNet, and LoRA. CLIP-based style matching against curated reference sets with 0.864 mean similarity scoring.
Modular data prediction platform. Weather adapter live with NWS and Open-Meteo sources, AI-powered structured predictions, home sensor integration.
Autonomous overnight experimentation framework. Ran 200+ unattended experiments and found a +6.5 composite improvement that manual parameter tuning missed.
RSS feed monitoring with local LLM summarization. Automated digest generation from technical feeds with relevance scoring and topic clustering.
Audio-to-guitar-tab transcription. Source separation, key detection, chord recognition, and tablature generation from raw audio files.
Project automation and ops platform. Voice commands via Whisper, deployment tracking through Tiger Team phases, cross-project orchestration.
Consulting operations hub. Financial tracking, project status, R&D logging, and decision gates across 6+ active projects. The system that runs the business.
Secure document ingestion system with chain-of-custody tracking. Designed for legal and compliance workflows — intake, classification, status tracking, and audit trails. CPU-only, self-hosted.
20+ containerized services on multi-node Proxmox cluster. GPU compute, reverse proxy, VPN, monitoring, and automated provisioning.
4v4 multiplayer arcade game with server-authoritative networking. Real-time WebSocket gameplay with physics simulation and matchmaking.
The paid work is what's on the page. Underneath it, a longer arc: independent solar + clean-energy R&D documented in the open — the thing that makes the rest of the company worth running.
DArnTech the consultancy pays for DArnTech the solar R&D. Independent clean-energy engineering at household scale — not a startup, not a pitch deck, not utility-scale. The commercial work keeps the solar work funded; the solar work keeps the commercial work pointed at something that matters.
Consulting engagements fund the solar R&D arc directly.
Available for consulting engagements, contract work, and technical advisory. Based in Indianapolis, working on-site or remotely nationwide.
