Hi, I'm Tyson Lee Woodruff
AI Developer & IT Technician
5+ Years IT | Solo-Built AI Platforms | GPU Inference | OSHA 10 + NFPA 70E | Data Center Ready
Self-taught IT Technician and AI Developer with 5+ years hands-on experience. Solo-built Humanalyzer.ai (90K+ file cloud AI platform) and Kyrella (two-model local GPU AI with custom RAG). OSHA 10 + NFPA 70E certified. Looking for AI/GPU data center roles in Phoenix, AZ — I can troubleshoot AI systems because I've built them from scratch.
Why I Build
From rock bottom to production AI systems — the short version
Went from homeless and addicted to shipping production AI systems — hardship became fuel
Self-taught developer. 5+ years IT. No CS degree, just proof of work
OSHA 10 + NFPA 70E certified (Feb 2026) — ready for data center safety requirements
Solo-built Humanalyzer.ai — 90,000+ file cloud AI platform with OpenAI, vector search, Stripe payments
Built Kyrella — two-model GPU AI (Llama 8B + Qwen 3B) with custom RAG, running on one card
IT career across Geeker, Phillips 66, Cost Plus, Silverado, CyberCSI — imaging, AD, networking, hardware
Currently at T-Mobile (Walnut Creek) while building AI projects during off-hours
Targeting AI/GPU data center roles in Phoenix, AZ — ready to relocate immediately
Core Values
- •Responsibility Over Credit — Do the work even when no one's watching
- •Truth Over Comfort — Say the hard things that need saying
- •Action Over Intentions — Ship real products, help real people
- •Proof Over Promises — 90,000+ files shipped, GPU inference built from scratch, OSHA + NFPA 70E certified
- •Mission Over Money — Skills without purpose are just entertainment
The Belief:
Every person has a responsibility to leave the world better than they found it. Pick up the garbage no one else will touch. Say what needs to be said when everyone's scared. Do what needs doing even when it's not glamorous.
What's Next
Humanalyzer makes coaching accessible. GoodDeedz will make transparent philanthropy accessible.
Same idea — essential help shouldn't require wealth. GoodDeedz makes charitable giving social, transparent, and merit-based. Connect people who need help with people who can give it.
I got clean to build this. Learned to code for this. Built Humanalyzer to prove I could ship at scale. GoodDeedz is the long game.
💡 What This Means for You:
I'm looking for opportunities where I can contribute AI orchestration and full-stack skills while building toward this mission. Mission-driven builders bring exceptional commitment, resilience, and growth — because the work matters beyond the paycheck.
What I've Built
Production AI platforms, local GPU experiments, and fun projects — all solo-built
Humanalyzer.ai
Making Behavioral Intelligence, Coaching & Emotional Awareness Accessible
Professional coaching costs $200/hour. Most people can't afford it. Humanalyzer is AI-powered relationship intelligence, behavioral analysis, and communication coaching — built for anyone with hard questions and no budget for a therapist. Upload conversations, get insights from 15+ AI perspectives, practice difficult talks before they happen. Solo-built, 90,000+ files, production-ready.
Tech Stack
Kyrella
Local GPU AI Assistant with Two-Model RAG Architecture
A local AI assistant running a two-model system: Llama 3.1 8B as the main brain and Qwen2.5 3B as an intelligent router with 'poor man's RAG' — retrieval-augmented generation without a vector database. Features web search, file ops, TTS, and multi-layer memory. A fun project that demonstrates real GPU inference and VRAM management.
Tech Stack
NYXARA
Personality-Driven Local AI Assistant — Fun Personal Project
"Nyx" (darkness) + "Ara" (spirit/light). A personality-driven AI assistant powered by Ministral 3B running locally on GPU. Features tool modes (Clarity, Focus, Feedback, Analyze, Agent), Edge TTS voice responses, file operations, and a dark-themed web UI. Session-based memory — designed as a minimal, focused companion within the limits of a 3B model.
Tech Stack
My Vision
Making Transparent, Verified Philanthropy Accessible to Everyone
GoodDeedz
Humanalyzer makes coaching accessible. GoodDeedz makes giving accessible. Born from experiencing homelessness and seeing how broken the system is — people who wanted to help didn't know how, people who needed help couldn't access it. This is my answer.
This isn't just another side project.
This is my why. The reason I learned to code. The reason I built Humanalyzer. Everything has been preparation for this.
The Journey to GoodDeedz
Experienced Hardship
Homeless experience gave me firsthand understanding of broken systems and the power of genuine help. This became my 'why' - I wanted to fix how people give and receive help.
Built Foundation & Mastered Skills
Transitioned from Computer Technician to developer, learning to code while working at T-Mobile. Started building Humanalyzer. Realized I needed to prove I could ship production systems at scale before attempting my vision project.
Proved I Can Ship: Humanalyzer
Solo-built 90,000+ file production AI platform (857 MB) in 8 months. Mastered AI orchestration, full-stack development, multi-platform deployment, beta testing infrastructure. Beta launch Jan 21, 2025. Every challenge was preparation for GoodDeedz.
Launch GoodDeedz
After Humanalyzer beta launch (Jan 2025), pivot skills and lessons learned toward building the platform I've been working toward for years. This time with production experience and proven ability to ship.
Scale & Impact
Grow GoodDeedz into the go-to platform for transparent, social philanthropy. Partner with nonprofits, scale userbase, and change how the world approaches charitable giving.
The Problem
Help is gatekept. Transparency requires wealth (can't verify where your $50 went). Small nonprofits doing real work get ignored because they can't afford marketing. Giving feels transactional and lonely. No way to build reputation for doing good. You're forced to trust blindly that money helps anyone.
The Solution
LinkedIn meets Venmo for doing good. Social platform making charitable giving transparent, merit-based, and verified. Badge system shows which nonprofits are efficient vs overhead-bloated. Real-time impact tracking proves your donation worked. Build reputation for consistent giving. Make philanthropy social, viral, and accessible to everyone—not just people with wealth.
Why Now?
Humanalyzer proved I can build AI-powered platforms at production scale. I've mastered AI orchestration, full-stack architecture, user authentication, payment systems, and complex multi-platform deployment. Every challenge I solved (90,000+ files, 857 MB system, complex behavioral analytics, beta testing infrastructure) taught me exactly what I'll need for GoodDeedz. The skills are ready. The timing is right.
