Products

One principle behind everything we build.

AI should do real work for people, show how it got there, and leave them in control.

Research

Our own models, from language models to live trading systems.

We train our own language models. Separately, we build neural-network trading systems end to end, from market data and retraining to execution, and run them in live markets, the hardest test of speed and consistency. What we learn shapes every product.

Our own language models

Training and fine-tuning LLMs in-house, for legal research and assistants that run on your own devices.

Network architectures

Transformers, recurrent and convolutional networks and hybrids, compared head to head on live market data, retrained on rolling windows and selected only on data they haven't seen.

Speed and latency

Market data to trading decision, typically in under 5 milliseconds, with every step profiled in production rather than assumed from a backtest.

Consistency

Live results reconciled against simulation, and code changes replayed on recorded market data before they ship, with drift monitoring and automatic safeguards.

Neural-network trading systems running live in production Proprietary research with our own capital. We don't manage outside money or give investment advice.

Approach

How we build.

A small company can hold a high bar when every part of the product has the same owner.

Verified, not guessed

Answers come with their sources and are checked against the latest version of the facts. When something can't be verified, the product says so. We hold our live trading systems to the same standard.

Private by default

Personal data stays as close to its owner as possible. ScarlettOS runs on your own hardware and keeps private things for your voice only.

Built for Panama, ready for anywhere

Bilingual from day one and grounded in local institutions, with products designed to grow beyond one market.

Founder

Founded and built by one engineer.

“I've been building since I was twelve, starting with robots. I studied AI because I believed it would one day be the most powerful tool in any field, once the models were good enough. That day has arrived, and now I want to put what I've built in people's hands.”

I build everything myself, from research and data pipelines to the apps people use. Before going independent I was a Generative AI Engineer at Amazon in Seattle. A search engine I prototyped on my own grew into a dedicated product team, and I built coding agents that migrate large systems between programming languages.

Taliaferro Technologies is where years of experiments become tools for everyone. My first AI legal assistant for Panamanian law, built in 2023, grew into ForsetiLex. ScarlettOS is the assistant I always wanted: one that lives on your own devices and speaks both of the languages my household speaks.
