The guy building voice AI for rooms that cost more than most people's houses.
I'm the founder of AV Engine. Before that, I spent years on the other side of the glass as an audio engineer, learning what it actually costs when a room doesn't work and why the professionals running those rooms deserve better tools than a touchscreen nobody wants to learn. I build AI agents. Not prototypes. Systems that ship, run autonomously, and make whoever's running the operation look like they have a full team behind them.
Work TogetherWhat I Build
Voice-first control for professional AV environments.
AV Engine puts a natural language interface on top of the hardware your clients already own. No new racks. No proprietary boxes. A voice layer that talks to the room and the system integrators who install it. The rooms I focus on are not smart homes. They are enterprise boardrooms, worship spaces, university lecture halls, and broadcast facilities running Xilica, Crestron, QSC, and Sennheiser. QSC has not shipped a voice story. Neither has anyone else at scale. That window is open right now.
Why It's Real
Built by someone who has actually been in the room.
- -- Founder of AV Engine. Demoed at ISE Barcelona 2026 to senior product leadership at a leading AV hardware manufacturer. Got a second meeting.
- -- Former audio engineer. Understands acoustic physics, signal chain, and what "the room isn't working" costs in real dollars and real client relationships.
- -- Built the entire AV Engine AI infrastructure solo. No co-founder, no funding round, no borrowed time on someone else's budget.
- -- Deployed hybrid Claude and Ollama AI architecture for real-time voice command processing on local hardware, offline-capable, zero cloud dependency required.
- -- Active vendor conversations with distribution networks spanning 60-plus countries.
Also
I teach what I build.
The same AI systems I use to run AV Engine, I teach at AI Workshop. Not theory. The actual stack: agent orchestration, local inference on Apple Silicon, automation that replaces two people's worth of admin overhead. For operators, founders, and ambitious professionals who want to run lean and move fast. The people in that workshop leave with working systems, not just ideas.
Work Together
If the fit is obvious, let us not overthink it.
If you build, sell, or install professional AV systems and you are watching AI close in on your margin, I want to talk. Fifteen minutes is enough to know if there is something here.
