Product, Sales & Marketing - AI Systems Operator

10+ years managing partner ecosystems and product lines for enterprise technology vendors, B2B and B2C. An interest in design and data analysis led me to teach myself the technical implementation, and now I ship agentic AI systems hands-on: the data layers, the tool-use interfaces, and the infrastructure they run on.

Currently Building

BA$H - born again systems: AI-native workflow automation for founders, ops teams, and agencies. Turnkey agents and integrations deployed on the client’s own infrastructure, with hosted ops for lightweight workflows.

Your intent drives the model; don’t let the model drive your intent. Build the world around the agent and the agent becomes swappable.

Commercial sales-intelligence system

~18 hours
Concept to verified product · constrained hardware

An enterprise commercial dataset - six figures of transaction records - made queryable in plain English. Parquet columnar storage on an embedded DuckDB engine, Python and pandas ingestion with normalization and deduplication, a unified SQL view, and a Model Context Protocol server exposing the whole thing as tools to an AI assistant.

Noticed work going missing and said so out loud at 06:10. The script was written in the same session, with retention and offsite sync; the first scheduled run fired about seventy minutes later. It has run 118 times since.

Dia - Discovery Intake Agent

Google for Startups AI Agents Challenge

Questionnaire in. Scored opportunity and three documents out.

Gemini ADKCloud RunVoice UIEvals

First commit 2026-06-06. Deadline 2026-06-11, 20:00 EDT. Five days.

Dia turns a client discovery questionnaire into a scored opportunity and three ready-to-send documents: client profile, opportunity analysis, and proposal draft.

What shipped inside those five days: a fully deterministic scoring and document pipeline; a Gemini LlmAgent that uses those deterministic functions as tools and degrades gracefully without an API key; a dependency-free voice-enabled UI with TTS, dictation and hands-free mode; a pytest suite; an eval directory; a Dockerfile; one-command Cloud Run deploy; a security policy; and secret scanning.

Code: github.com/mdvnavy/Dia

Built inside the same five days

Two tools built to avoid doing things by hand

PRESSobs-websocket26 tests

PRESS - first commit 2026-06-07, one day into the deadline window. A content-formatting engine built to produce the submission materials themselves. 47 commits over five days; its last commit before the deadline was the asset drop - thumbnail, headers, title card.

The capture client - 2026-06-09, 00:54. Rather than record the demo by hand, a direct obs-websocket client wired into the agent runtime, landed at 01:01 and constrained to local-only by 02:37. Dependencies pinned to the patch version, 26 passing tests in the same commits, and a deliberate contract: after a successful intake, fire a screenshot and a replay-buffer save, and swallow failures so capture can never break the response.

Then the demo was recorded by hand anyway, through seven failed takes including full-screen captures coming out pure black. The take landed 02:46; the narrated cut was done by 03:05. The deadline does not care what you automated.

Private agentic infrastructure - LTM mesh over Tailscale

TailscaleWireGuard3-VPS Fleet

A 3-server VPS agent fleet on a private Tailscale mesh (WireGuard, ACLs, MagicDNS) running multiple agent runtimes per server, with self-served artifacts to mobile and integrated search and scraping services.

I connected a vendor’s long-term memory product over the tailnet before their integration guide existed, rejected their public-tunnel recommendation in favor of a zero-exposure architecture, and debugged an undocumented TLS SNI requirement along the way.

Distribution · Developer Platform

Agent Eggs - a portable skill store

SKILL.mdHugging FaceRegistry

A distribution model for agent capabilities: skills packaged as versioned SKILL.md modules with runtime metadata, published to a Hugging Face dataset registry, and consumed by agents across the fleet.

Production skills covering the Google Workspace surface, plus a registry-of-registries index. Effectively a plugin model and developer on-ramp for agents.

Essay · In Progress

Learning what code can do

Coming to code from design and data, you don’t see a developer’s tool - you see something with no ceiling: administration, organization, research, a dozen uses nobody thinks to apply it to. And on the moment it clicks: I can figure this out. No roadmap, just reading, researching, and pulling threads.

Essay · In Progress

Agents as the interface

Using your computer primarily through agents as the interface - you orchestrate the agent, and the agent navigates the system for you.
