My Mission - Engineering the Unpredictable
From Safety-Critical to Context-Critical
For over a decade, I engineered safety-critical software for avionics and medical devices. In those industries, mostly working is a failure state. Systems must be robust, deterministic, and fail-safe.
Recently, I applied that rigor to a different domain: expert systems for decision-making. I built a prototype agent designed to act as a private coach for complex situations. Through that process, I discovered a fundamental limitation in the current AI stack.
Standard RAG is insufficient for expert-level reasoning. It retrieves text, but it fails to retrieve structure or hierarchy. It flattens wisdom into data.
This realization shifted my focus. I am no longer just building applications. I am re-architecting how we store, retrieve, and execute high-value context.
The Mission: Three Core Capabilities
I am developing three distinct capabilities at The Foundry. These are not just projects. They are infrastructure for the next generation of software architecture.
1. Judgment Packaging (The Intelligence Engine)
The Problem: Current AI models are excellent at syntax but struggle with deep context maintenance over long horizons. They hallucinate because they lack a map.
The Solution: I am moving beyond flat RAG architectures. I am building Mip-Mapped Knowledge Graphs - systems that store information at varying levels of resolution, from the one-sentence gist to the full source text.
The Goal: To demonstrate that you can extract domain expertise, structure it hierarchically, and deploy it as an agent that provides consistent, high-judgment guidance. This is the difference between a chatbot and a strategist.

2. The Agency Operating System (AmodX)
The Problem: The web development industry is trapped in a Frankenstein Stack of legacy CMSs and plugins. This creates massive technical debt, security risks, and maintenance overhead that stifles creativity.
The Solution: A serverless, air-gapped operating system built on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. It eliminates the idle tax of traditional servers and the security liabilities of PHP-based runtimes.
The Goal: To allow technical teams to deploy infrastructure that scales to zero cost when idle and handles enterprise traffic instantly. It treats content as structured data, making it natively visible to the new generation of AI search engines.

3. Private AI & Collaboration Infrastructure
The Problem: Organizations need the power of Generative AI but cannot tolerate data leaks or latency. They need systems that allow humans and AIs to collaborate in real-time without exposing IP to the public cloud.
The Solution: I build the layers between the model and the user. This involves air-gapped deployments, hybrid compute models, and collaborative engines where creation happens at the edge with persistence in the cloud.
The Goal: To prove that you can architect systems handling real-time multi-user collaboration and AI-generated assets while maintaining complete data ownership. The architecture should handle the demands of regulated enterprise workflows.
FRAKTAG is also playing a part here.
The Philosophy
My work is driven by a single instinct: to connect high-fidelity minds with high-fidelity tools.
I am not interested in solving solved problems. I am interested in the friction points where legacy systems fail to handle complexity.
Whether it is a serverless CMS that eliminates maintenance overhead, or a knowledge graph that remembers the intent of a project, I am building the tooling for the builders of the future.
