Portfolio
In the age of agentic tools, prioritizing control, understanding and decision authority for people.
01 / 02
A portable decision record workflow for staff-engineer-supervised AI coding. The agent can move fast, but the engineer remains the principal and the Decision Record becomes the durable memory of the collaboration.
02 / 02
Built for a bright seventh grader with significant dysgraphia who was overwhelmed by red squiggles and wrong autocorrections. Lignis lets children write freely, then uses AI as a spelling translator that understands what they meant.
Mission Statement
Repeatable, low ambiguity, light judgement tasks can be automated. High judgement tasks should not.
Translation, repair, retrieval, or synthesis can be reliably offloaded. Measure success.
The system is transparent and follows human intent. People direct what is done and approve.
