First-line approval authority on $516M of annual energy spend across an 18-site, 1.8 GW portfolio, where a reconciliation I built caught $1.8M billed to us for another customer’s power. With no engineering background, built a 49-skill agent system that has made 100,000+ unattended runs at 99% reliability on my own finances and email, and co-founded an AI company putting the same into small-operator workflows.

Experience

Otian AIDallas, TX
Co-FounderJul 2026 to Present

Bootstrapped AI company I co-founded and incorporated; its desktop app runs an agent on a small-business owner’s own computer.

  • Built the business plan and pitch deck, pitched investors, and priced Archie at $30/month individual and $99/month team
  • Own the sales cycle for the app and a $250/hour consulting practice, meeting owners in person and scoping every engagement; two paying clients, one saving 2 to 3 hours a day
  • Ran the competitive analysis and wrote the positioning and website messaging from it
  • Followed early demand toward implementation: custom agent builds inside operators’ workflows, alongside Archie

Built and OperateApr 2026 to Present
  • 100,000+ scheduled runs at 99% success, unattended since June; 12 of 145 live jobs audit its own accuracy
  • Built in Claude Code and Codex: Python skills, guardrails on unsupervised action, automated regression tests
  • Automated money administration across six bank and card feeds (capture, reconciliation, statement checks, monthly close); recovered about 5 hours a week
MARA (MARA Holdings, Inc.)Dallas, TX
Lead Financial Analyst, Operations & Energy TransformationMay 2025 to Apr 2026

Sole analyst under the VP of Finance, covering an 18-site, 1.8 GW bitcoin mining fleet.

  • Substantiated $1.8M in billing errors by building a reconciliation no one had run across interval meter data, DOMO reports and utility invoices; an unaffiliated industrial customer’s charges had been attributed to MARA’s power supply
  • Modeled the economics of converting mining capacity to AI and HPC, and supported the strategy team on AI chip economics and Tier III data center strategy
  • Gathered field data for a 5-year total-cost-of-ownership comparison of air-cooled and immersion-cooled mining, interviewing site teams on failure rates, efficiency and uptime
  • First-line approval on all site disbursements ahead of VP and CFO sign-off, against $516M in annual energy exposure and 60.4 EH/s; no payment missed or duplicated
  • Built the fleet’s cost-allocation model in Excel (dynamic kWh, MW and cost-variance tracking, integrated with DOMO and Zip), replacing stale reporting with live fleet-wide numbers
  • Rebuilt and documented energy-auditing SOPs for all 18 sites, standardizing invoice review and payment approval
