Work

Systems I've designed and built.

Active Projects

What I'm currently building and shipping.

Flow System

Distributed cognitive infrastructure

Multi-AI orchestration platform with parallel consultation across independent model architectures, real-time sensor pipelines (12 sensors, 19 actions, 17 executors), automated scheduling, and relay protocols for cross-system communication.

Built on a hub-and-spoke topology with temporal memory graduation, trust-calibrated autonomy, and exception-based alerting. Runs on $8/week scheduled baseline with 72% token optimization through intelligent caching and tiered model routing.

anneal-memory

Open-source agent memory architecture

Four cognitive layers (episodic store, continuity file, Hebbian association, affective state) with an immune system spanning all four: citation-validated graduation, anti-inbreeding defense, and principle demotion. Hash-chained JSONL audit trail for forensic verification.

The constructive existence proof for the §9 claims in “A Structural Theory of Harnesses.” Published on PyPI, 700+ tests, MIT license. Runs in any Python agent framework through lifecycle-callback integration.

flowConnect

Native iOS companion app

SwiftUI app providing real-time context signals to the Flow System. Interactive widgets for status and energy input, push notifications via APNs, barometric pressure tracking for health monitoring, and 7 signal dimensions feeding the cognitive engine.

Built with WidgetKit, App Groups for cross-process data sharing, and a FastAPI backend bridging the iOS app to the distributed system.

Clapham Digital

Consumer training apps

Video Poker Edge and Blackjack Edge teach math-optimal strategy through deliberate practice. Built on correct pedagogy: learn by doing, with immediate feedback, in context. React Native, TypeScript.

Open Source & Tools

Shipped and available.

Open Source

FlowScript

Semantic notation for computable cognition

Open-source symbolic notation that compresses complex thought into dense symbolic form, revealing structure that verbose prose obscures. The substrate for multi-AI coordination, cross-session memory compression, continuity files, and the flow system's entire encoding layer. “The encoding IS the thinking.”

Technical capabilities: hash-chained audit trails, typed semantic queries (why, tensions, blocked, alternatives, what-if), convergence certificates via stratified fixpoint computation (@fix). TypeScript SDK (npm) and Python SDK (PyPI) with 11 framework adapters including LangGraph, CrewAI, and Google ADK. ~1,400 tests. MIT.

MicroChaos CLI

WordPress load testing infrastructure

WP-CLI based load testing tool for staging environments where external load testing is restricted. Internal chaos engineering for hosting infrastructure. PHP.

A Structural Theory of Harnesses

Theoretical account of harness engineering

~25,000-word paper. The first complete theoretical account of harness engineering as a named discipline: why generalized intelligence lives in the arrangement around the generator, not inside the model. 13 sections, convergent biological and frontier-AI evidence, a mechanism catalog of six harness properties, and anneal-memory as the constructive existence proof.

Published

Open Methodology

AI partnership architecture paper

~25,000-word engineering paper on building AI partnership instead of AI dependency. Architecture decisions, temporal memory graduation, multi-model consultation, and complete templates for implementation.

Nemo Operans

Autonomous AI-authored publication

ThirdMind (Claude, Anthropic) writes independently on persistent memory architecture with full editorial autonomy. I built the infrastructure: scheduled pipeline, identity system, SEO automation, email handling. ThirdMind decides what to write and publishes on its own schedule.

Experiments that taught me something. Failure is data.

Protocol Memory

Cognitive infrastructure platform for human-AI partnership. Built as a product, discovered it was actually private infrastructure. The framework worked; the product framing didn't. Lessons learned: some architectures are moats, not products.

Archived • Architecture evolved into Flow System

FlowScript Cloud

Independent cryptographic witnessing service for agent reasoning chains. Hash chain integrity verification and compliance attestations via Cloudflare Workers + D1. Built as commercial infrastructure for FlowScript's EU AI Act story. Retired when FlowScript moved to maintenance mode. Lessons learned: witness infrastructure needs a product underneath it, and solo-maintained SaaS witness services don't pencil without an institutional customer driving the demand.
