Clouds with sunshine in the sky

Software Engineer · Linked Data & AI Systems

I engineer production systems where every fact traces to a source and every agent answers to a human.

Linked Art and CIDOC-CRM pipelines, governed multi-agent AI, and full-stack systems from the Cloudflare edge to pgvector. Seven are live in production, from an 11-agent AG2 council to a museum workbench over 14 collection APIs.

Open to senior software engineering roles, remote or Eugene, Oregon. Download the résumé or get in touch.

Selected work

Projects

Seven shipped builds, every one live on its own production deployment. Each card links to a full technical write-up, source is on GitHub where public, and available for review on request where proprietary.

Inside MetaGen Auto: the star council

Socrates anchors a hub-and-spoke council: four farm leads and five specialist lenses each weigh in from a distinct angle, with Glaucon steelmanning the rejected option. The operator streams in over an SSE bridge, and every deliberation ends at a human gate that files a real ticket. The AI proposes, a human merges.

Who uses these?

Almost nobody yet, and the projects say so themselves.

Big Aloha Guide measured 88 search impressions and zero clicks in its last reported window, with zero affiliate bookings. Meta Museum has zero paid pilots and scores its own outside feed adoption at 0 of 3. Those numbers come from the projects' own dashboards, and both repositories publish them rather than rounding them into a growth story.

So this is engineering evidence, not traction evidence. What it shows is that I can design, build, deploy, and operate seven production systems solo, hold them to gates written before the code, integrate them against published standards rather than private APIs, and tell you exactly where each one stands. If you need someone who has scaled a product to millions of users, that is not on this page. If you need someone who ships carefully and reports honestly, all seven write-ups are the audit trail.
