Open to remote roles — Quincy, IL → anywhere

TylerEveland

I build the AI and software a county government runs on. I run its security audits, too.

I ship AI that people actually use, then instrument it so the results can be checked: retrieval search over an Illinois county's procedures that turned a five-minute document hunt into seconds, a support-ticket copilot with eight governance gates and a golden-set eval behind every change, and a computer-vision pipeline that redacts FOIA video evidence. Nights, I build open source. Audrey, my MCP memory server, gives AI agents persistent memory across sessions. The day job: I'm the person Adams County hands its hardest problems to. I run our state security audits end to end and remediated an entire department's device fleet for this year's HIPAA audit. I coordinated vendor escalations and change management for the county's RMS/CAD cutover, touching every deputy's in-vehicle terminal in one cutover window with no vendor fallback plan, after building the extraction-to-SQL pipeline that covered the data-integrity gap when no vendor backup would be ready. When vendor software broke or cost too much, I replaced it with software I built, and I still run every one of those systems. Twenty-plus years in tech, all of it hands-on.

Real users, real installs, CI on every commit. The other 25+ projects live on GitHub.

Ticket Copilot

Support-ticket triage and drafting with eight governance gates. Nothing auto-sends.

An n8n pipeline for a support queue: an LLM sorts each ticket, a code tripwire can only raise severity (never lower it), retrieval over the knowledge base produces a draft that cites its sources, and eight gates decide whether a person reviews it or it goes to the fast lane. A 12-ticket golden-set eval gates every change — first run 58%, hardened to 12 of 12 with P1 recall at 100%. About a penny per drafted ticket, fifteen seconds end to end. A 101-test automated regression suite covering workflow structure, governance-gate logic, and the P1 tripwire runs in CI on every push and pull request. Built as a hiring take-home and taken through a live panel demo.

Audrey

Persistent memory & continuity engine for AI agents.

A local-first MCP server that gives Claude and other AI agents durable memory across sessions — built on SQLite with vector search for semantic recall, plus consolidation, decay, and reflection. Tackles one of the genuinely hard open problems in agentic AI: continuity. Published on npm, PyPI, and the official MCP Registry.

logic2ableton

The only tool that converts Logic Pro projects into Ableton Live sets.

Reverse-engineered Logic Pro's undocumented binary project format to extract note-accurate MIDI — pitch, velocity, position, and duration — with no public spec to work from. Verified correct against Apple's own shipping demo songs. Bidirectional audio + MIDI transfer, tempo, time signature, plugin identification. Python core, Electron desktop app, CI across Windows/macOS.

courtboard

Self-hosted courthouse signage that replaced a paid SaaS.

Replaced a recurring commercial subscription (ScreenSeed.io) with a self-hosted digital signage system for court schedules, announcements, and emergency alerts across lobby, courtroom, and info displays. Runs on Raspberry Pi 5 + Samsung Frame TVs — killing the software bill while giving full control of the displays.
