Intelligence Systems  ·  Privacy Tech  ·  Mesh Networks  ·  Web Systems  ·  Automation

I learned how to think from my father — a retired mechanical engineer who specialized in injection moulding. Old school manual machinist, 80 years old now, raised on Colin Chapman and the Lotus philosophy: simplify, and add lightness. That's where the instinct for precision came from, the intolerance for overengineering, and the habit of building things that actually work. I run CNC on a production floor at night — but what I know didn't come from there. Off the clock, I design and operate production-grade intelligence systems, privacy technology, and mesh radio networks — the kind of builds most developers pitch to a team of ten. I build them alone, and they run.

Skills & Capabilities

A machinist's instincts mean thinking in tolerances, sequences, and consequences. That precision carries into every digital system I build.

Machining Background
Grew up around mechanical engineering — my father's trade. I ran CNC equipment for several years through the 2010s and still work the floor today. That experience shapes how I approach every project, digital or physical.

I run production systems at scale.

// live platform · multiple servers · continuous operation

The Greystone Intelligence Platform is a multi-source market intelligence system I designed and built from the ground up. It ingests, correlates, and models data across on-chain analytics, macro-economic events, satellite observation, geopolitical risk, and maritime monitoring — producing actionable intelligence across seven distinct data feeds.

This isn't a side project. It's a production platform running continuously across multiple servers with a fully automated cron pipeline, live Telegram alerts, and a trading bot operating in real-time market conditions.

Each thing I learned unlocked the next thing I didn't know was possible. Satellite imagery analysis. Maritime vessel tracking. Federal Reserve decision modeling. None of it was planned from the start — it was compound knowledge, where solving one problem reveals the next problem worth solving. Idea to fully operational platform in 21 days. No team. No funding.

“Innovation doesn't require permission, a team, or venture capital. It requires paying attention to what the data tells you, building the next logical piece, and not stopping when it gets hard.”

What it proves: if I can build and operate this for myself — running autonomously — I can build something serious for you.

Most builders talk about privacy.
I deployed it — and built the wallet to use it.

// zk-SNARKs · Ethereum Sepolia · deployed March 2026

The Greystone Privacy Token is a working proof of concept built in March 2026. Three zero-knowledge circuits are live and verified on Ethereum Sepolia testnet. A full desktop wallet with a working UI ships alongside it — handling all three verification modes from a single application.

Mode 1 — Private Transfer
Generates a ZK proof in ~1.5 seconds that verifies the transaction is mathematically valid without the blockchain ever seeing your balance, the amount, or the recipient.
Proof size: 808 bytes
Mode 2 — Selective Disclosure
Prove specific things to specific parties: minimum balance, source of funds, or identity — scoped cryptographically to one verifier. A proof generated for Binance cannot be used by Coinbase.
Proof size: 804 bytes
Mode 3 — Compliance Proof
A single proof that covers your entire transaction history and confirms no sanctioned addresses, all transactions within declared limits, and correct balance accounting — without revealing a single transaction.
Proof size: 807 bytes

Everything runs locally. Keys, balances, and transaction history never leave your machine.

All three proofs are under 810 bytes — small enough to transmit over LoRa radio in seconds. Two people with LoRa radios can transact privately with zero internet dependency.

Communications infrastructure that
doesn't depend on the internet.

// LoRa · Reticulum · self-organizing · no ISP · no subscription

LoRa (Long Range) radio paired with Reticulum mesh networking creates a self-organizing communication layer that runs completely independent of internet infrastructure, cell towers, and ISPs. Every node relays for every other node. No central point of failure. No monthly bill.

Rural — Farms & Properties
Multiple buildings, no cable run. Sensors, messaging, and file transfer across large properties where WiFi doesn't reach.
Industrial — Facilities & Shops
Remote monitoring for equipment, environmental conditions, or production alerts across a plant floor where interference makes WiFi unreliable.
Resilience — Off-Grid & Backup
Emergency communication backup when cellular and internet fail. Grey Bruce gets real winter storms — a mesh keeps working when everything else doesn't.
2–15km range per node
$30 per LoRa node
$0 monthly fees
Scales freely

What I build: End-to-end mesh networks using Reticulum protocol — node placement planning, hardware selection, configuration, deployment, and testing. You get a private encrypted communication layer that you own outright and nobody can shut off.

Satellite observation of the operations
that move gold and silver markets.

// ESA Sentinel-2 · multispectral · 5-day revisit · 4 continents

The Greystone Earth Intelligence layer uses ESA Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery to monitor physical changes at gold, silver, and precious metals mining facilities globally — detecting production shifts weeks before they appear in earnings reports, guidance updates, or commodity price movements.

Why it matters: Gold and silver prices respond to supply. When a major producer ramps up or curtails output, the market eventually prices it in — but the physical evidence appears at the facility level long before it appears in any filing. The ground doesn't lie.

Data-driven site selection for Ontario
developers. Before the market knows.

// 50 Ontario regions · 16 data layers · live composite scoring · ag conversion signals

The Greystone Land Intelligence platform converges five independent data signals — satellite imagery, population flow, building permit trends, flood risk, and municipal planning signals — into a single composite development pressure score for every region in the province.

Why it matters: Agricultural land in the path of suburban expansion is the largest wealth creation event in rural Ontario. A farm purchased at $15,000/acre that gets rezoned to residential becomes worth $150,000–$300,000/acre. The platform identifies high-probability rezoning targets 12–24 months before the zoning change.

Pipelines,
Not Prompts.

Anyone can type into an AI image generator. Building a workflow is different — it's an engineered system with defined inputs, controlled outputs, and consistent results regardless of who runs it or how many times.

Using ComfyUI with Flux, IPAdapter FaceID, ControlNet, and custom inpainting nodes, I build pipelines that lock in face identity, control composition, and automate masking — the infrastructure layer that makes AI image generation actually usable at scale.

Human Skill,
AI Amplified

I use AI tools the same way a good machinist uses a CNC machine — it doesn't replace the skill, it multiplies it. I still make the decisions, understand the problem, and stand behind the work. The AI handles the parts that would otherwise slow things down.

What this means for you: faster turnaround, lower cost, and someone who can move between the physical and digital without missing a beat. From a custom fabricated part to an automated workflow — same person, same attention to detail.

"I'm not handing your project to a chatbot. I'm using every tool available to deliver better work. There's a difference — and most people can tell."
