The Story
I build the frontend systems that make complex data pipelines and AI platforms usable.
My work lives at the intersection of sophisticated backend infrastructure — Kafka
event streams, GraphDB, ML models — and the interfaces that turn that complexity
into actionable insight for enterprise users. Micro-frontend architecture, complex state
management, and making change cheap and safe are where I spend my days.
That frontend work is grounded in a real understanding of the systems behind it. I've
spent years collaborating with data engineers and ML teams, integrating LangChain-based
LLM processing, Cypher queries, and Azure ML pipelines into production applications.
I don't just build UIs that consume APIs — I understand the data flows, the
event architectures, and the infrastructure that powers them.
That systems-level thinking comes from 11 years at BT Group in fibre networking and
telecommunications infrastructure. Working on physical networks at scale taught me how
distributed systems really work — reliability engineering, fault tolerance, and
the discipline of operational excellence. That foundation shapes everything I build today.

wunicorm
Production autonomous agent system running daily on macOS via launchd. A "society of mind"
where specialized sub-agents collaborate through encrypted file-based communication,
powered by a local LLM. Agents don't call each other directly — they leave notes
and the next agent in the chain picks them up.
The Dreamer agent reads the day's output, writes a memory entry, and updates an encrypted
SELF.md file that evolves the system's personality over time. Tomorrow's output sounds
different than today's because the system learns about itself through structured
reflection, not training. The Visual Dream agent produces encrypted GIFs each night,
and the Morning Email agent ships a fresh message each morning.
Demonstrates deep expertise in LLM agent architecture, memory systems, and autonomous
workflows.

Self-Evolving Systems
Work-in-progress LLM agent based project that investigates research topics, extracts entities and
relationships, and builds navigable Neo4j knowledge graphs. The graph emerges from the
research process itself rather than being predefined. Focus on Graph RAG patterns and
knowledge extraction. The stack consists of a Go web server that interacts with the Neo4j instance all deployed inside a docker compose file. The agent uses a plugin system for different tasks, written in TypeScript and talks to the llama-server from llama.cpp following the OpenAPI specification.
