Full throttle. Tight reins.

Build AI systems that ship.

AI workflow design, tooling, and evaluation for teams that ship. Public work, documented methods, and working examples on Projects and GitHub.

How I work

Clear evidence, explicit stop points, and rollback paths where the risk is real.

Start with evidence

Proof strip

A quick read on what is already public, inspectable, and tied to real operating claims.

Latest note

The Receipt Was Lying

March 24, 2026. Compound-command bypass, VDP rejection, and what it exposed about LLM triage failure.

Public work

Projects you can inspect

Freeverse, Alcove, and Golden Thread are public. Private tracks stay labeled as private.

Method library

Patterns with failure modes

The methods are written as repeatable operating rules, with anti-patterns sitting beside them.

Open surface

GitHub is part of the proof

Public repos, linked capabilities documents, and build artifacts stay inspectable instead of hand-waved.

What I do

Mechanisms, not magic.

Workflow design
Clear loops, clear handoffs, and decision points that hold up under pressure.
Skill/tooling build
Automations that don't rot in a week.
Evaluation
Adopt the proven. Test the promising. Ignore the noise.

Start with something concrete.

I reply faster to structured briefs. Two ways to start:
Prepare a brief
Use the intake brief if you want the fastest scoped reply with less back-and-forth.
Open intake brief
Just email
Tell me what you are building, what is stuck, and your timeline. I will reply with a scoped next move.
