Real-time voice · agent systems · Los Angeles

Real-time voice AI, built and broken in public.

I design and ship voice agents that survive real phone calls — streaming speech, agent orchestration, and the guardrails between them. Call the line and try to break it.

Independent voice AI systems builder, Los Angeles. Available for audits, builds, and advisory. Usually replies within a day.

Operational proof

Systems that convert messy inputs into reliable action.

I build systems where intelligence becomes action, not just output.

  • real-time voice
  • agent orchestration
  • streaming speech
  • eval and benchmarking
  • latency engineering
  • production guardrails

Selected work

The systems I am building.

01

KOTA

Turns restaurant phone calls into structured, actionable orders without requiring the restaurant to replace or deeply integrate its POS.

  • real-time voice
  • LLM orchestration
  • menu grounding

ARCHON

Unifies multiple AI models and coding agents into one orchestration layer for real development workflows.

  • orchestration
  • coding workers
  • active R&D

Latency report

A monthly measurement of turn latency, barge-in response, and call setup across the major hosted voice stacks. Fixed methodology, raw CSV with every report. First report in progress.

  • Structure over willpower.Reliable outcomes come from architecture and feedback loops, not motivation.
  • Autonomy.Building toward control over what I work on and how.
  • Systems before labels.The work is studying complex systems and building tools to operate inside them.
