Production proof

Systems that shipped under real constraints.

Not concept decks. Agent loops, client portals, verification pipelines, and VPS infrastructure — with guardrails, tests, and honest boundaries.

Live private beta

Estate Mogul OS

Telegram ops agent with workspace actions, not chatbot replies.

A production assistant loop for operators: Telegram intake, intent routing, LLM reasoning, Google Workspace tools, preview-confirm before outbound actions, and VPS deployment with regression gates.

Problem

Operators needed an assistant that could read deal flow, draft email copy, and route workspace tasks — without blind automation or unsafe connector claims.

Approach

Built a layered runtime: deterministic routing and guardrails first, Hermes brain for open-ended reasoning, separate OAuth stores per connector, and human confirmation before Gmail send or sheet mutation.

What shipped

  • Telegram polling worker with attachment and caption handling
  • Google Workspace CLI with scoped OAuth and token isolation
  • Preview-confirm queues for sheet updates and Gmail send
  • Connector honesty lane when scopes or tokens are missing
  • systemd service on Linux VPS with validate/smoke test gates

Guardrails

  • Least-privilege tool boundaries (LLM06-style agency limits)
  • Explicit confirmation before irreversible actions
  • Sanitized brain output and safe denial wording
  • Service-user isolation for secrets and runtime state

Live client app

Knox Client Portal

Self-hosted client portal with autosave, admin APIs, and CRM sync.

Token-based onboarding portal for a luxury real-estate client program — questionnaire flows, branded email briefs, Zapier sync, and migration from managed DB to self-hosted SQLite on VPS.

Problem

A live client portal needed reliability, ownership of data, and operational control without depending on a paused managed database host.

Approach

Rebuilt the persistence layer on SQLite, added health checks and backup cron, deployed behind nginx with systemd, and kept Zapier as the integration edge.

What shipped

  • Autosaving multi-step questionnaire with submit flow
  • Admin APIs and client record management
  • Zapier sync cron and branded Resend email briefs
  • nginx + systemd production deploy on VPS
  • Runtime health endpoint and verification scripts

Guardrails

  • Token-scoped client access
  • Server-side validation on all questionnaire writes
  • Root-only secrets outside the app tree
  • Backup cron before schema changes

Self-hosted

HotlistVerify

Queue-based lead verification with enrichment and operator visibility.

Backend pipeline for validating and enriching lead records — Redis-backed jobs, third-party enrichment, proxy-aware processing, and dashboard visibility for operators.

Problem

Lead lists needed verification and enrichment at scale without manual spreadsheet work or opaque batch failures.

Approach

Designed a queue-first architecture with BullMQ, isolated integration adapters, and observable job states for debugging and recovery.

What shipped

  • Job queue with Redis and worker processes
  • Email validation and enrichment integrations
  • Operator dashboard for pipeline visibility
  • Dockerized deployment path

Guardrails

  • Rate limits and retry boundaries on external APIs
  • Job failure surfaces with actionable states
  • Secrets kept out of client bundles

Private infrastructure

AI Model Runtime

Dockerized model routing, workflow automation, and eval gates.

Self-hosted stack for routing LLM traffic, running workflow automation, and holding production data locally — LiteLLM, n8n, Postgres, Redis, and validation runbooks.

Problem

Needed a controllable AI runtime on owned infrastructure instead of scattering prompts across ad hoc SaaS tools.

Approach

Composed core data services, LiteLLM for model routing, n8n for workflow scaffolding, and shell-based validation gates before any workflow activation.

What shipped

  • Docker Compose core + workflow profiles
  • LiteLLM bridge with local-only bindings
  • n8n workflow imports with disabled-by-default posture
  • Postgres/Redis persistence and runbooks

Guardrails

  • Localhost-only admin surfaces
  • No credentials embedded in workflow exports
  • Validation scripts before service restarts
  • Explicit disabled-workflow default

GPT beta + runtime

Boardroom OS

Multi-agent review layer before code ships.

Structured agent roles for product, architecture, UX, operations, and launch-risk review — used to pressure-test plans before implementation.

Problem

Solo builders need a disciplined review loop, not another generic chat thread, before committing to architecture and scope.

Approach

Defined specialized reviewer agents with explicit outputs: risks, build plan, implementation prompts, and human-reviewed execution checkpoints.

What shipped

  • GPT Store beta for public demonstration
  • Telegram/runtime integration for private workflows
  • Role-specific review prompts and outputs

Guardrails

  • Human-reviewed execution after agent proposals
  • Scope boundaries per reviewer role
  • No auto-deploy from review output
