PropTech & AI Systems Architecture
Eliminating software vendor lock-in, recurring per-unit SaaS taxes, and operational bloat through zero-dependency engineering and custom AI automation.
The Open-Core Sovereign Approach
Most institutional commercial real estate firms suffer under bloated legacy platforms like Yardi, AppFolio, and RealPage. These systems impose severe per-unit recurring subscriptions, opaque fee structures, and fragmented data silos.
By approaching real estate from an engineer’s mindset, I architect zero-dependency, sovereign systems that guarantee 100% operator data control, mathematical precision in accounting, and radical reductions in entity-level operational overhead.

Project Lead & Founding Contributor • Sovereign Property Management
Open Core Architectural Vision
Leading the development and community growth of GarrisonOS to revolutionize how developers and landlords manage portfolios. Spearheaded the technical vision for an "Open Core" property management system, balancing a lightweight open-source community version with enterprise-ready extensibility.
- Four Core Pillars: Properties (4-tier hierarchy), Leases (lifecycle & AR), Accounting (double-entry general ledger), and Maintenance (work orders & dispatch).
- 100% Native TypeScript on Node.js: Zero external npm runtime dependencies; builds directly on Node.js standard modules for indefinite reliability.
- Deterministic Accounting Engine: Native double-entry general ledger strictly enforcing statutory trust accounting and tenant escrow isolation.
- Enterprise Extensibility: Multi-tenancy, granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and strict documentation fostering a collaborative open-source ecosystem.

AI Automation & CRM Architecture
Practical, high-yield implementations eliminating administrative drag in investment management.
Cross-Border Investor Distributions
Automated payment calculation pipelines, waterfall distributions, and investor reporting notices that reconcile multi-tier equity capital stacks in seconds.
Document & Rent Roll Ingestion
AI-driven parsing of unstructured offering memorandums, rent rolls, and commercial lease agreements into standardized tabular underwriting schemas.
Multi-Entity Financial Rollups
Automated consolidation of disparate property LLCs into unified holding company P&L and balance sheet statements for institutional lenders.
SaaS Roots & Technology Foundations
2010 – PresentBen’s technical expertise was forged early. As Project Manager for Input Output Flood, LLC (2010–2012), he managed the international engineering of a SaaS web portal for online server management of Java-based applications, which was subsequently acquired by an industry-leading competitor at a 1,000%+ Return on Equity (ROE).
Subsequent ventures, including Wisdom Companies and Grey Matter, expanded these capabilities across cloud hosting, digital advertising, and enterprise data integrations.
