An inverted flight-search travel engine. Give it a budget and a date window; it returns specific destinations with honest "why this fits, here is the catch" editorial. The budget-first inversion is the moat.

Owner-operator · luxury transportation brand
Full ownership of operations, fleet, staffing, and P&L. Deliberately repositioned from high-volume to premium service: revenue per service hour up ~2.6x while cutting trip volume.
Founder & engineer · SEO / web automation agency
Founded the agency and built its production systems solo: ACE, the demo-site engine, the lead-nurture system, and operator tooling.
§E. Contact
I am a self-taught AI and automation engineer in Nashville. No formal CS degree; everything I know I learned by building and shipping. I am looking for a Forward Deployed, Applied AI, or founding-engineer role at a team that hires on what people can build and run, not on pedigree.
