Walt Burge — AI Consultant for Healthcare, Law & Construction | Oxford, MS
I’m an AI consultant in Oxford, Mississippi specializing in three industries: healthcare, law, and construction. I build the custom AI models, 24/7 voice agents, and automations that capture patients, cases, and bids — I don’t resell ChatGPT, I ship real systems.
Specialties
- Healthcare AI — 24/7 AI front desk, patient intake, and an automated review engine. HIPAA-aware; captures and routes, never gives medical advice.
- Legal AI — round-the-clock case intake that triages, captures conflict-check details, and books consults. Bar-compliant; never gives legal advice.
- Construction AI — custom estimation models, voice-to-estimate agents, and lead-to-bid automation. Built by someone who ran crews and wrote estimates by hand.
How I work: (1) free AI audit — I find the 3 tasks AI can kill in your business; (2) build & install a fixed-scope system; (3) manage & grow it monthly. Contact: jamesburge.mcm@gmail.com · (662) 292-5533.
Projects
- FairTradeWorker — Two-sided construction marketplace connecting homeowners with vetted contractors. Next.js, Kotlin/Spring Boot, React Native. QuickBooks-native payments and AI-powered estimation.
- MsHomePros — Contractor business platform with AI-powered line-item estimation, professional proposals, and job tracking. Live client: MHP Construction, Oxford, MS.
- ConstructionAI — Fine-tuned Llama 3.1 8B for construction cost estimation. 18,000+ training examples. Deployed on RunPod Serverless at ~$0.002 per estimate.
- Tessera — A markdown-native programming language for AI agents. Agents are written in .t.md files as substrate-tagged code fences, formally verified by AEON before they run, and executed on Ollama, Anthropic, LangChain, and PyTorch backends. Python.
- W.A.L.T. — Distributed AI platform across three machines. 64 MCP tools for screen understanding, 73-engine formal verification, autonomous overnight execution.
- Driftlands — Survival crafting game in Rust/Bevy. 27K lines of code, 43 Bevy plugins, targeting Steam Early Access.
- WOS — Custom Linux distribution based on Nobara for gaming, AI development, and cybersecurity.

Tessera: Why I'm Writing AI Agents in Markdown
— Building an AI agent shouldn't require five frameworks, three vendor SDKs, and a vector DB you babysit. It should require markdown and a compiler that takes the substrate boundaries seriously. The case for .t.md files as the source of truth for agents.
-
Substrates: Giving an Agent Named Modes of Thinking
— Tessera agents are built from typed code fences — logic, agent, memory, prompt, tool, neural. The compiler enforces the boundaries between them, so an agent's architecture becomes legible and auditable instead of a blob of Python.
-
Verifying AI Agents Before They Ever Run
— Tessera lowers each agent to a Substrate IR and runs AEON's 73 formal-verification engines against it before execution, catching capability leaks and PII egress at compile time. No other agent framework does formal verification before run.
-
Cognitive Traits: Channeling Maladaptive Patterns into Better Reasoning
— Tessera lets you install reasoning postures — productive doubt, cross-domain scanning, compulsive verification — as first-class, inspectable code in a tsr:traits block, instead of burying them in prompt strings.
