Status: public professional profile; prototype limits noted below.

## Professional profile
Systems builder with experience spanning civil/environmental digital delivery, owner-operated home services and AI-assisted software development. Founder of At Petrichor, developing practical voice and workflow tools informed by real operating needs. Brings customer discovery, project scoping, technical coordination and a habit of investigating failures through measurable evidence.

## Selected accomplishments
### Voice-agent prototype
Developed a supervised telephone voice prototype using Twilio and OpenAI Realtime, with AI-assisted implementation and iterative testing. A documented 61-second test measured 422–504 milliseconds from the end of speech to the first response audio across four turns. A later 201-second test handled twelve turns with no recorded bridge errors. Investigated incomplete responses and refined output limits and voice pacing.
Scope: these are historical self-call tests; automated customer booking is not a claimed result.

### Habitat
Directed development of a phone and desktop workspace for AI-assisted tasks, visible progress and project continuity. Recent work restored interrupted message delivery and added a saved project brief with verified mobile and desktop behavior. Emphasis: make results inspectable and returning to work easier.
Scope: internal working components and pilot preparation; no claim of a fully deployed twenty-customer product.

### Field Capture
Built and tested a mobile workflow for job photos, receipts, mileage and field notes in home-service operations. Connects practical field needs with accessible software and clear closeout evidence.

## Professional experience
### At Petrichor LLC — Founder / Systems Builder
Current role
- Translate operational problems into scoped AI-assisted projects.
- Direct implementation, testing and iterative troubleshooting with AI development tools.
- Connect technical decisions to usability, evidence and maintainable delivery.

### Jacobs — Digital Delivery Lead / CAD Technician
April 2023–July 2026
- Co-led digital delivery for a 400+ sheet Milwaukee Estuary remediation package, contributing to 200+ sheets across 11 remediation areas.
- Developed coordinated drawing sets for four water-infrastructure sites serving the Navajo Nation, connecting survey data, surfaces, pressure networks and plan/profile sheets.
- Supported environmental remediation documentation and structured ProjectWise/ACC workflows; migrated a NASA-connected drawing set into ACC through Jacobs.

### Jacobs — CADD Technician, Water / Process Mechanical
May 2022–April 2023
- Produced and revised P&IDs, process-flow diagrams, hydraulic profiles and water-infrastructure drawing sets.

### The Handyman Help LLC — Founder / Operator
Owner-operated business
- Manage customer intake, estimating, scheduling, field delivery, payments and closeout.
- Use firsthand operating experience to identify where software can reduce friction.

## Technical experience
AI-assisted Python and JavaScript development; HTML/CSS; REST APIs; WebSockets; Twilio; OpenAI Realtime; Git; Linux; integration testing and troubleshooting; ProjectWise; Autodesk Construction Cloud; Civil 3D; MicroStation.

The tools describe the project environment, not a claim of equal mastery in every technology. Noah's role includes problem definition, product direction, scope decisions and acceptance feedback; AI coding tools support implementation and investigation.

## Education
Milwaukee Area Technical College
Associate Degree — Civil Engineering Technology
Technical Diploma — Surveying & Mapping

## Working style
Field work taught me to clarify the scope. Engineering delivery taught me to organize the information. Building with AI has reinforced the need to test what appears to work and carry the lesson into the next attempt.

I value clear communication, practical experiments and honest reporting. I am interested in automation, voice-agent implementation and customer-facing technical roles where the quality of the result matters to the person using it.

## Experience requiring confirmation
Retell AI and named no-code platforms such as Make, n8n and Zapier: not established in the reviewed materials. Do not infer experience in these from direct Twilio/OpenAI integrations. LinkedIn URL and exact experience durations remain to be supplied.

## Evidence availability
Dated project summaries and selected demonstrations can be discussed during an interview. This profile intentionally contains no internal operating instructions, private file locations, agent routing configuration or customer records.
