24+ Years of Building Things
That Actually Work
From enterprise .NET systems to crypto intelligence platforms — every project here represents a real problem solved, a system shipped, or a skill leveled up.
Featured Projects
Currently in development or recently shipped. These are the things keeping me up at night — in the best way.
XpertConnect™ — AI DIY Guidance Platform
An AI-first home repair guidance platform that walks DIY homeowners through structured, safety-aware troubleshooting flows — and escalates to vetted human experts when a task becomes unsafe or genuinely out of scope. The latest dev update covers how the product vision, safety boundaries, and .NET-first architecture are evolving as the build moves forward.
- Guidance Orchestrator — Domain-driven session engine that drives step-by-step troubleshooting flows with full history tracking
- Condition Engine — Runtime branching logic evaluated against session context — no hardcoded UI conditionals
- AI Copilot — OpenAI GPT-4o integration returning structured recommendations, safety warnings, and escalation signals
- 4-Level Safety System — Hard guardrails from Basic DIY (Level 0) to Pro-Only (Level 3) — Level 3 blocks and escalates, no exceptions
- Latest Dev Update — New March 25 build log covering the public product direction, architecture goals, and safety-first platform strategy
Born from the frustration of a 95° Texas afternoon, a broken AC, and seventeen conflicting YouTube videos. XpertConnect™ exists because DIY home repair deserves structure, safety awareness, and a clear stopping point — not a doom scroll of unvetted advice.
CryptoQT™ — Crypto Intelligence Platform
A behavior-aware crypto intelligence platform exploring what happens when traditional quantitative trading meets market psychology, adaptive AI, and research-grade software architecture. CryptoQT™ is being built to study markets as both mathematical systems and human systems.
- Quant Foundation — Momentum, volatility, and structured technical signal analysis as the system's statistical backbone
- Behavioral Finance Lens — Market context informed by crowd behavior, sentiment shifts, and attention dynamics
- Adaptive Intelligence — AI-assisted strategy adaptation designed to respond to changing market regimes
- Explainable Decisions — Built with a bias toward transparency instead of black-box trade output
- Research-Minded Architecture — Clean boundaries, testability, and long-term maintainability from day one
Built from a simple conviction: crypto markets can't be understood through price alone. CryptoQT™ exists to explore the intersection of quantitative trading, behavioral finance, and adaptive AI without pretending the human element doesn't matter.

AnthonyTristan.info — Personal Brand Platform
Custom-coded personal brand site with a dark-theme design system built from scratch. Designed for SEO, affiliate monetization, portfolio showcase, and audience building — without relying on slow WordPress page builders.

- Full SEO stack: meta tags, schema markup, sitemap, robots.txt
- Web3Forms contact form with hCaptcha spam protection
- Security-hardened .htaccess with CSP, HSTS, gzip compression
- Custom 404/500 error pages with animated glitch effects

Work History Highlights
24+ years of enterprise engineering — from government systems to fintech to cloud infrastructure.
Founder & Principal Engineer
Founded and operate a technology services company delivering custom software engineering, AI/data engineering, and digital consulting to clients across Texas and beyond. Currently pursuing OVHcloud Startup Program partnership and building CryptoQT™ under this entity.

Delivered senior-level .NET engineering across multiple long-term contract engagements spanning finance, government, telecom, and healthcare sectors. Specialized in large-scale system migrations, API development, data engineering, and enterprise application architecture.
Software Engineer — Enterprise Applications
Progressed from junior to mid-senior .NET developer building enterprise web applications, thick-client applications, and back-end services. Heavy focus on database development (SQL Server), stored procedures, data transformations, and service-oriented architecture patterns.
Network Administrator → Transitioned to Software Engineering
Career began with pre-medical studies before pivoting to networking and IT infrastructure. Built a strong foundation in computer systems, TCP/IP networking, hardware, and systems administration before discovering the real passion: writing software.
Entrepreneur · Engineer · Perpetual Student
Currently operating on three parallel tracks: finishing CryptoQT™ MVP, building out AnthonyTristan.info as a full content + monetization platform, and completing electrician training. Because why focus on one thing when you can level up across all dimensions? ⚡
