Independent researcher and self-taught technologist based in Wisconsin, USA. Decades of work spanning hardware retail, ISP operation, and electronics repair - now focused on AI research, digital product development, and systems that think.
In the mid-1990s, purchased a local BBS and converted it into a regional ISP
Global Gallery (gglbbs.com) - running 64 × 33.6k modems
and serving three communities with internet access, web and database hosting.
The service ran on WorldGroup and was sold in 2000 to a larger provider.
That foundation in early internet infrastructure shapes everything that followed.
Today: independent R&D, AI alignment research (ECLAIR framework), digital product development under ProfitHubLabs, and the occasional deep dive into whatever problem refuses to leave quietly.
A working history - some dabbled, some lived in.
Beyond languages - environments and engines worked in directly.
Operated one of the top-rated Half-Life 2 Synergy cooperative mod servers of its era - recommended in Steam Community guides specifically for its custom maps and unique gameplay. 5,000+ hours invested as operator, mapper, and plugin developer. Steam ID: KillerB (now Snoopy).
Built custom maps from scratch in Hammer and Blender, repaired broken community maps using the EDT system, and wrote custom SourceMod plugins that gave the server a character no other server matched. The map library grew to 141 custom, abstract, and puzzle maps plus the full HL2, Episode 1, and Episode 2 campaigns.
AI alignment framework centered on ethics as foundational architecture - not a post-hoc constraint. Dual-agent cooperative design, stable reasoning core, dynamic knowledge store.
A first-person psychological puzzle game where the environment itself is trying to kill you. No combat. No chasing enemies. No health bar to manage. Just you, a series of rooms that hate you, and the slow realization that the space you're standing in is not on your side.
Digital products for independent operators and entrepreneurs. Prompt packs, calculators, social media kits - practical tools built on deep research foundations.
