Technology nerd. Gear‑head. Generally obsessive.

I’m Jeff, a principal architect in the data center division of a global automotive manufacturer.

I work primarily with data center technology but only have indirect exposure to AI.

The views and opinions I express are mine and only mine, and do not represent my company or colleagues.

I’m a technology nerd, a gear-head, and generally obsessive. When something piques my interest, I invest myself fully. Example: I went ketogenic for weight loss and fitness — from 250 lbs at roughly 50% body fat to 175 lbs and under 20% body fat in two years. Same pattern with the homelab and local AI: once I started, I dug in hard, ran models on real hardware, and wrote down what actually happened.

ANotSoI LLC is a Michigan company named for the thesis that AI is simulated intelligence — a mathematical compression of human writing, operating by probabilistic token prediction. Left unconstrained it drifts. I treat models as engine components and put them on deterministic rails: scripts own state, routing and validation; models handle unstructured text. This site is that lab notebook.
