AI Solutions Engineer / Developer Platforms
I design and demo AI systems for enterprise customers, and I build with AI every day. Solutions roles at BlueAlly, BTA, Pure Storage, Dell Technologies, and Reduxio, a stretch as partner and VP Sales at EMOTO, and earlier EMC. Most recently: 24 customer engagements in five months, about $150K closed in the first 90 days, and a seven figure qualified pipeline. On the side I publish open source Linux software and host a podcast for Omarchy builders.
Pre-sales and post-sales solutions architect supporting six account executives across the Southeast: enterprise, healthcare, higher education, state and local government, and nonprofits. I owned discovery, architecture, sizing, bills of materials, cost and return models, proposals, proof of concept design, demos, and custom code on 24 engagements in five months. About $150K closed in the first 90 days and a seven figure qualified pipeline. Cost and return models on those engagements total more than $21M in modeled annual AI value. Customers are anonymized; the numbers are real.
Entrepreneurial operating role. Sales up 225% in year one, expanded the product line, and scaled to regional market leader.
Fortune 100 accounts across the Southeast. 250% of quota in 2021, named Global Rookie of the Year. 100% uptime for a customer through a hurricane disaster recovery event.
Technical pre-sales for software defined storage, cloud architecture, and data center consolidation.
First American employee; led US market entry. 150%+ of quota annually and a 90%+ conversion rate across 50+ proof of concept projects.
Earlier: EMC, Syscom, MTI, GT Software, Vitria, Windward, Kilpatrick Stockton, and Medaphis, in CTO, solutions consulting, presales, professional services, and IT administration roles.
Annual sales quota achieved every year of my career. B.S. Business Administration, Information Systems, Auburn University · U.S. Army veteran.
Six running systems, all mine. Each started as a problem in the day job or the community and ended as something I could hand to a customer or a user.
Four computers share one identity, one set of written operating rules, and a memory that survives machines and model upgrades. Routine tasks go to a local GPU before any cloud model is used. It is why a customer conversation becomes a demo, a sizing, and a deck in about a day and a half.
Read the write upA repeatable AI assisted workflow that turns a build spec into a live production website: repository, hosting, domain, and content. More than ten production sites shipped, including a 104 page site in a single multi agent run with zero errors.
nixfred.comEvery agent session is saved to git with its transcript, decisions, and rejected approaches, then made searchable, so any answer can be traced months later. Agents get least privilege access, and anything that leaves the machine needs an explicit human approval.

tools.nixfred.comAn open source Linux app I built that brings iMessage to the desktop: read, send, and group chats, with a Mac as the gateway. 176 GitHub stars and outside contributors.
github.com/nixfred/blipPlugins for hardware control, media, messaging, and system monitoring. Infomarchy turns the desktop wallpaper into a live information desk showing every running AI agent, and has 132 GitHub stars.
github.com/nixfred/infomarchyMore on GitHub and in the full project write ups. My setup, for the curious: how I build.
120+ public repositories on GitHub and 30+ plugins for Omarchy, the Linux desktop: hardware control, media, messaging bridges, and system monitoring. Blip is an open source Linux app I built that brings iMessage to a Linux desktop (your Mac is the gateway). It has 176 GitHub stars and outside contributors.
I host Omarchy conversations, recorded live on X, interviewing builders in the Omarchy (Linux desktop) community. About 27 episodes so far; features are published at omarchy.builders. I am also being invited onto other podcasts as a guest.
Cognition Mesh is a governance control plane for AI agents. It tracks every piece of AI work through a review lifecycle, has agents from different vendors check each other's output, and keeps a signed, tamper-evident audit trail. I cover testing, the website, campaigns, and partner and reseller relationships.
