Not just prompting. I build AI systems that go beyond chatbots.

Not wrappers. Not demos. Real architectures: multi-agent coordination, novel RAG retrieval, voice-vision pipelines, fine-tuned models, autonomous build pipelines shipped end-to-end with tests, CI, and evals.

Building in public. Looking for AI engineer / applied AI internship roles.

One command, /forge, and a team of six specialized agents (idea-hunter, architect, backend-engineer, frontend-engineer, reviewer, debugger) turns nothing into a tested, runnable project.

Not a code generator. A pipeline with contracts. The architect freezes an API contract before backend and frontend build in parallel from it - that's what keeps two agents' output compatible without either seeing the other's code. The reviewer is read-only by design; the debugger is the only agent that runs code, graded on fixing what it finds rather than writing more.

Agents:       idea-hunter -> architect -> backend + frontend (parallel) -> reviewer -> debugger -> devops-engineer
Proof:        3 full projects shipped end-to-end in test runs - PinPoint, DriftGuard, Receipts.dev
Receipts.dev: 92 files, 16 bugs found and fixed (1 critical, 4 high), 0 type errors, 0 lint errors
Contract:     runs/<timestamp>/ file handoff - architect's API contract is the single source of truth
Roadmap:      Phase 1 (Claude Code subagents, live) -> Phase 2 (Python SDK orchestrator, factory.py, live)

AI-powered skill verification from real Git history. Every skill on the profile deep-links to the actual commit that proves it, via a recruiter chat that can only cite real diffs and never invent a claim.

Built by Agent Factory's full pipeline in a single run: idea to architecture to parallel backend/frontend to review to debug. GitHub OAuth with Fernet-encrypted tokens, an async GitHub client with retry, a pgvector code-chunk retriever, and grounded chat with hallucination-proof citation validation.

One memory engine, built once, imported by everything else: a local-first, privacy-preserving memory + RAG core (SQLite + ChromaDB + hybrid model router) that answers with citations and refuses honestly when it doesn't know.

Not a demo - infrastructure. Three downstream apps import it instead of rebuilding retrieval: second-brain (vault ingestion, auto-linking, offline knowledge-graph viewer - 40 tests) and github-pr-agent (repo analysis, issue triage, PR planning - 32 tests) are public; DreamOS (an Electron AI command bar over the same engine) ships when its demo video does.

Tests:        100 offline, fully mocked - zero-key CI on every push
Agent layer:  plan-act-reflect loop, 4 permission-tiered tools (incl. SSRF-guarded web fetch), full audit log
Voice/vision: faster-whisper STT (offline, free) + OCR ingestion; native-crash inputs pre-validated (PyAV)
Security:     token-authenticated HTTP gateway; browser-Origin requests rejected outright

A living simulation: 10 autonomous citizen-agents + 5 institutional councils (35 AI agents) debate, remember, and react to injected crises - Pandemic, Drought, Cyberattack, Election, Crime Wave, and now self-generated emergent crises.

Novel contribution - Temporal-Causal Memory Fusion (TCMF): Standard RAG retrieves by semantic similarity alone. TCMF fuses two streams:

AGORA stream    - citizen episodic memories scored by relevance x recency x importance
PANTHEON stream - societal causal graph (NetworkX DiGraph): crisis -> decision -> outcome

Fused score = episodic_score(m, q) x (1 + lambda x causal_boost(m))

A witness to a root cause outranks someone who heard about it second-hand. No off-the-shelf RAG system does this. Full design write-up with code and tradeoffs: docs/tcmf.md

Latest additions: sustained-fear auto-crisis injection so the society generates its own emergencies, per-council effectiveness scoring (debate to verdict to 60-tick fear delta), union-find citizen faction detection on mutual affinity, and a Story Rewind scrubber over the full causal timeline.

3-tier LLM router:  Ollama/Qwen2.5-3B ($0) -> Gemini Flash ($0) -> Claude API (~$0.002/debate)
Fine-tuning:        LoRA on Qwen2.5-3B | MLflow tracking | persona-consistency eval harness
Full-stack:         FastAPI + WebSocket <-> React + Three.js 3D city (replaced the earlier PixiJS UI)
Tests:              61 passing
Total cost:         Under $5 to build.

Point your phone camera at your space. Ask out loud "where did I leave my keys?" Get a spoken answer with the exact frame it was seen in.

Not another AI wrapper. Persistent spatial memory across sessions. Time-decay re-ranking. Gemini Live function-calling into local ChromaDB. The voice model doesn't hallucinate locations - it calls a tool that searches a vector store built from what the camera actually saw.

Eval (June 2026):   Recall@1 100% (10/10) | Recall@3 100% (10/10) | Median latency 149ms
Embeddings:         all-MiniLM-L6-v2 via ONNX - fully local, zero embedding cost
Voice:              Gemini Live push-to-talk with function calling
Quota management:   120s minimum between vision calls + daily budget counter on-screen

memgraph/gqlalchemy #390 - open PR adding unary-operator support (IS NOT NULL) to the query builder: 4 tests, docs, CI green, CLA signed. Found and scoped with my own triage pipeline (AutoCTO), implemented keylessly via git + the GitHub CLI.

google/adk-python #6190 - fixed an Optional[List[str]] type hint bug in cleanup_unused_files that broke the CLI parser (labeled "good first issue" by Google's ADK team). Went through a maintainer review round: root-caused a CI failure to a leftover repro script breaking Mypy and the pyink linter, removed it, verified pyink/isort/ruff clean locally, and re-pushed a single focused fix.
