AGENIUS AI LABS · MICHAEL FROSTBUTTER

I build private AI infrastructure for teams that want to own their stack.

AI infrastructure isn't a product category. It's an engineering discipline -- and I understand it the way engineers do: by building it. Two decades of shipping real systems taught me where the concepts hold and where they break. I bring that judgment to every engagement. No vendor lock-in. No demo-ware. No gap between the architect and the person who builds the thing.

WHAT I BUILD

Three things, done end-to-end.

Private AI Infrastructure

On-prem vector databases, MCP microservices, self-hosted LLM pipelines. You own the hardware, the data, and the budget.

Production AI on infrastructure you control. No rented GPUs.

Workflow Automation

n8n orchestration, API integrations, AI-driven operations. Real pipelines that replace manual work, not chatbot demos.

BizDev pipeline: Apollo -> Crawl4AI -> Claude -> Listmonk

RAG and AI Agents

Knowledge base design, hybrid dense + sparse search, conversational agents with persistent memory and cost tracking.

Agents that know your business, not just the open internet.

FEATURED WORK

Production builds. Not prototypes.

MANAGED SERVICES · END-TO-END BUILD

AI-Powered MSP Knowledge Platform

Private AI infrastructure combining operations, ticketing, and knowledge enablement for a managed service portfolio. Retrieval, agents, and automation running on infrastructure the business owns -- no vendor dependency.

ABOUT

20 years of building. Now focused on AI.

Two decades of IT operations, starting with a NATO Secret military deployment and running through senior consulting, enterprise data capture, and IT leadership for a portfolio of small and mid-market clients across legal, manufacturing, nonprofit, education, and enterprise verticals.

Today I design and operate private AI platforms end to end: infrastructure, data pipelines, retrieval, agents, automations, and the boring glue that makes it all stay up. Architect, builder, and operator in one seat.

I ship real systems, not slide decks. If you need someone who can take AI from whiteboard to production without a ten-person delivery team, let's talk.

Need automation built

I take on focused consulting engagements for teams that want production AI without vendor lock-in. Private infrastructure, named tools, real outcomes.
