IoT & AI
Technician
I build and run the AI and automation tools behind IREE Solar, a solar and battery installer in Jamaica: a staff assistant, a customer website chat, and performance reports for solar and battery systems. I keep the work secure, tested and documented.

01 / TECHNICAL FOCUS
Technical Focus
What I work on day to day at IREE Solar, backed by my own labs.
02
AI and automation
A staff assistant and a customer website chat: document retrieval, evaluation sets, guard rails and hand-off to people.
03
Systems integration
Connecting business systems such as ServiceM8, Google Workspace, Squarespace and n8n through APIs and documented workflows.
04
Infrastructure and energy systems
Running the company server: Linux, Docker, gated staff access, image scans, health checks and tested backups.
02 / PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Professional Experience
My current work is in IoT and AI, supported by earlier experience in technical support, hardware, asset management, customer operations, and documentation.
IREE Solar
IoT & AI Technician
Works across IoT, AI-assisted automation, systems integration, networking, technical documentation, and energy-technology operations in a solar-industry environment.
- Built and run a staff AI assistant that answers product questions from manufacturer manuals and datasheets, with sign-in, rate limits and a fixed test set I rerun after every change.
- Built a customer chat for the company website that answers only from approved public facts and hands anything else to the team.
- Redesigned the company website on Squarespace from version-controlled source. Launch is pending approval.
- Produce customer and internal performance reports for solar and battery sites from system monitoring data.
- Run the server behind these tools: Docker, gated staff access, automated image scans, health checks and nightly backups with a tested restore.

03 / ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Technical Projects
Professional work at IREE Solar comes first, followed by my own labs. Each project is labeled by status.
Professional workAI / IREE Solar
Staff Assistant and Website Chat
An AI assistant that answers staff product questions from manufacturer documents, plus a public website chat that only answers from approved company facts.
Engineering focus
- Document retrieval with hybrid search and reranking
- Prompt-injection and output guards
- Per-person and per-visitor rate limits
- Repeatable evaluation set
- Docker deployment, backups and health checks
Status: Staff pilot running. The website chat goes live with the new company website.
Launch pendingWeb / IREE Solar
Company Website Redesign
A full Squarespace redesign built from version-controlled source, with custom CSS, checks at several screen widths, and a code review and fix pass before launch.
- Tools used
- Squarespace, custom CSS and code injection, Git and GitHub
- Current status
- Complete and waiting on launch approval.
Professional workEnergy / IREE Solar
Solar and Battery Performance Reports
Customer and internal PDF reports that explain a site's solar generation, grid use, battery behaviour, alerts and data gaps in plain language.
- Tools used
- Python, system monitoring data, PDF generation
- Approach
- Read-only data collection, and a reporting gap is never presented as an equipment fault.
Local experimentDocument retrieval
RAG Evaluation Lab
A local experiment with document retrieval, FastAPI, ChromaDB, MLflow, mocked tests, and technical setup documentation.
- Tools used
- FastAPI, ChromaDB, MLflow, Python, and local services
- Current limitation
- The repository link remains withheld while its publication security gate and history cleanup are incomplete.
Learning labIoT / energy telemetry
IoT Energy Telemetry Lab
A reproducible lab for synthetic solar and battery telemetry over MQTT, designed to practice device identity, topic design, validation, and offline-safe testing without production data.
Engineering focus
MQTT publish/subscribe behavior, JSON telemetry validation, device identity, sequence handling, and clear separation between simulated and production environments.
All readings are synthetic; no employer, customer, site, credential, inverter endpoint, or production telemetry is used.
View repositorySanitized case studyLinux / homelab
Android Linux Homelab
Repurposed a Samsung Galaxy S7 as a constrained server lab using Android, Termux, Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Cloudflare Tunnel, monitoring, scripting, and backup/recovery experiments.
Engineering focus
- Resource-constrained system administration
- Web-service deployment and diagnostics
- Tunnel-based remote publishing
- Monitoring and automation
- Safe publication boundaries
Publication boundary: The historical source repository remains private because it contains operational artifacts. This portfolio exposes only a sanitized case study.
Open sourceCommunity / GitHub
Open-Source Contributions
Features, docs and API work I've contributed to other people's projects.
Shipped
- Open WebUI iOS app: my write-up became follow-up suggestion buttons under each answer. Credited as co-author.
- awesome-second-brain: setup guide, example workflow, comparison pages and solution profiles.
- ed-donner/agents: week 1 notes for the agentic AI course community.
In review
- Super Productivity: REST API routes for logging time on a given day, notes, and tag and project writes.
- Chroma: Haystack integration examples for the docs.
