30-SECOND RECRUITER READ

Product judgment with enough engineering depth to ship the system.

I turn complicated human workflows into working software, then add the governance, access, testing, accessibility, provenance, and release controls needed to make that software trustworthy. My strongest fit is where product, systems thinking, AI, and real-world operations overlap.

Strongest cross-role signals

Human Pages v1: production-backed profile vertical slice with magic-link identity, permanent usernames, owner-only drafts, publication states, immutable versions, restore-to-draft behavior, guestbook moderation, and authenticated reporting.
Universal Context Router: production public infrastructure that turned contextual assistance into a registry-driven invariant with QR entry, sign-in continuity, reserved-route precedence, and CI enforcement.
Continuity Wallet: public Platform Core connecting identity, consent, contextual roles, routing, receipts, packet/export behavior, history, and portable continuity.
HCOS governed AI execution: provider-independent reference implementation separating model capability from human authority through policy-aware routing, verification, provenance, receipts, and retention boundaries.
Cross-domain productization: built product/system surfaces spanning family services, behavioral health, workforce, recovery operations, legal continuity, housing, reflection, and public identity.
Release engineering: real headless-browser interaction tests, exact-head CI, Vercel preview/production verification, rollback planning, HTML parsing, and concurrent-change checks.
Security and trust engineering: protected-identifier HMAC scanning, RLS-oriented access boundaries, public-safety scans, ontology/ecosystem validation, and fail-closed behavior.
Continuity architecture: built repository-backed provenance/convergence tooling and control patterns that keep memory, authority, provider choice, and execution evidence distinct.

Professional operating context

Founder / AI Product & Systems Lead · The Human Code · 2023–Present. Independent product and systems initiative spanning human-centered workflow software, governed AI, continuity infrastructure, product implementation, and release engineering.

Frontline experience: Treatment Coordinator in residential behavioral health; Fatherhood Group Facilitator in community family services; Community Advocate volunteer supporting homelessness-resource navigation. That operating context directly informs the workflow, accessibility, ownership, and handoff problems I choose to build around.

Profile

AI product and systems builder with an unconventional path from frontline human services into software, workflow architecture, governed AI, platform infrastructure, and technical implementation. Since 2023, I have led The Human Code as an independent product and systems initiative, turning high-context human problems into explicit state models, public-safe prototypes, production routing, database contracts, governance primitives, tests, accessibility requirements, privacy boundaries, rollback plans, and human-in-the-loop controls.

Selected accomplishments

Built and published a recruiter-facing Human Code career portfolio, Universe Atlas, seven immersive case-study experiences, public product surfaces, and evidence/maturity presentation system.
Built Continuity Wallet as a public Platform Core surface connecting identity, consent, contextual roles, routing, receipts, packet/export behavior, audit behavior, and portable continuity.
Built Human Pages v1 with email magic-link identity, path-based public profiles, permanent username claims, reserved-route protection, owner-only drafts, explicit publish state, immutable versions, restore-to-draft behavior, guestbook moderation, and authenticated profile reporting.
Designed and shipped simplified contextual sign-in that derives application context from a safe same-origin return route and keeps identity separate from permission and consent.
Built QR/deep-link contextual assistance that preserves bounded category context through sign-in without placing free-text questions or protected information in URLs.
Converted contextual “Need help?” routing from a 12-surface feature into a registry-driven public-platform invariant with build-time discovery and CI failure for unregistered public surfaces.
Built Smart Family Flow as a functioning synthetic two-sided workflow for plain-language need intake, claim/assignment, follow-up, resolution, and audit behavior.
Built Treatment Signal, Workforce Continuity, Recovery Operations, CourtChain, and Continuity Mirror surfaces around ownership, handoffs, verification, accessibility, privacy, and human authority.
Elevated HomeKey into a first-class public housing-continuity concept while preserving its SPECIFIED / not-deployed maturity boundary.
Designed HCOS governed AI execution patterns separating model capability from human authority, with scoped context, policy-aware routing, fallback, verification, provenance, schema validation, receipts, and retention boundaries.
Established the provider/capability/policy/routing/receipt control model used to keep AI providers replaceable while preserving identity, authority state, provenance, and continuity.
Built Human Code Continuity Spine tooling for cross-repository harvesting, provenance, conflict/supersession handling, protected routing, machine-readable validation, and explicit separation of chat memory from accepted project state.
Developed Collective Authority and AI Pluralism patterns that prevent agent communication, consensus, registry membership, or tool availability from manufacturing permission.
Built protected-identifier HMAC scanning, bounded private-retention policy, ontology validation, ecosystem-boundary validation, public-safety scans, and fail-closed release gates.
Built real headless-browser interaction tests that click public controls, verify populated outcomes, exercise contextual choices, and catch routing/UI regressions before release.
Used preview-first exact-head CI, Vercel deployment verification, rollback planning, HTML parsing, reduced-motion support, keyboard semantics, and mobile-safe layout constraints as recurring release discipline.
Preserved a private technical archive behind a server-side access gate using HMAC-signed expiring cookies, no-store/noindex headers, and fail-closed behavior when required secrets are absent.
Led a public narrative redesign that translated architecture-first language into six guided human scenarios spanning housing, work, healthcare, family services, legal continuity, and AI.
