I help engineers and operators ship modern Voice AI — without drowning in the legacy stack.
For 15 years I've worked at the edge of communications infrastructure — SIP, RTP, media servers, and now Voice AI. I built Routr because the open-source telephony stack needed something easier to operate. I'm now building Fonoster to make programmable voice approachable for the next million developers.
Most companies don't need an entire PBX to ship a great voice experience. They need clarity. They need patterns that work. They need someone who's been on the other end of a 3 AM Asterisk crash and lived to tell about it.
That's what I write about. That's what I teach. And it's why 8,000+ builders open my emails every week.
More about meFrom the carrier edge to LLMs. SIP, media, ASR, TTS, and agent orchestration. What they do, what they don't, and how to pick.
From a $49 handbook to a hands-on embed — built from real production incidents, not slides.
The missing manual for running Routr in production. Topology patterns, scaling, observability, and the failure modes nobody writes about.
Three sessions. You walk away with a documented plan for what to build, what to skip, and in what order.
I join your team to architect and de-risk your voice infrastructure — as the person who's actually built one at scale.
At millions of calls a day, the cracks in the classic voice stack show — and why I'm choosing less in 2026.
