02 / Current systems

One portfolio.
Multiple operating layers.

The ventures are distinct products connected by a shared premise: AI should be useful to people, legible to institutions, and accountable to outcomes.

01

Agentic operating system

Externa

An executive workspace for turning intent into bounded, reviewable work across strategy, finance, product, operations, and growth.

Synthetic engineering demo

DF Orbit Engineering

A source-linked Engineering Review Desk connecting CAD, documents, images, audio, video, 3D parts, and software to checks, proposed changes, and accountable decisions.

Engineering case / Synthetic demo

Review the source. Bound the action.

DF Orbit Engineering's Review Desk makes work products addressable: a CAD entity, document span, image region, media interval, 3D part, or software component can carry its source, applicable checks, and proposed change. Typed actions and cell grants keep access explicit; durable PostgreSQL coordination supports recovery.

The synthetic Review Desk is implemented through B0–B7 on authored engineering fixtures. Teams can trace a finding to its source, review a proposed change, and make separate engineering and sharing decisions.

03 / Connected work

A system for systems.

Applications, protocols, and community programs that test the same architecture across different kinds of work and human experience.

01

Joules

Implemented capability/context assessment and ranking; evidence and uncertainty remain explicit

02

Per Se

Outcome contracts and replayable proof lineage; bounded reference implementation

03

InferObservation

Source-linked media observation and evaluation; local research prototypes

04

Fidelith

Exact-byte identity and PNG preservation verification; local reference kernel

05

Liminal Accord

Local synthetic workflows for purpose, retention, licensing, purchase, and refund

06

Platform Architecture Spec Kit

Reusable contracts for secure agentic platforms

07

DanceOrbit

AI-native studio operations and mobile experiences

09

Prompt · Pivot · Pitch

A community venture, product, pitch, and social series

10

Consumer & mobile applications

Privacy-conscious, agent-assisted experiences

04 / How I build

Agency without ambiguity.

01

Evidence over claims

Systems should be able to show what happened, why it happened, and what supports the result.

02

Authority stays explicit

Agents can reason, draft, and orchestrate. Accountable people and deterministic workflows authorize consequential action.

03

Value closes the loop

Capability matters when it changes an outcome—measured against cost, risk, confidence, and residual uncertainty.

05 / Next

Build the system.
Prove the outcome.

Open to Head of ML/AI, exploration, architecture, and engineering leadership, including broader executive responsibility in critical organizations.
