Frontend Tech Lead

Move over the name and click it

I came from creative direction and became a software architect and developer. I connect product vision, user experience and engineering to build systems that scale without losing design judgement. Today I'm Frontend Tech Lead at The Wise Dreams.

Open source

In the open, I build tools that let AI agents work with judgement: memory, context and guardrails.

  1. 01vordA static guardrail in Rust: it judges every write an AI agent makes before it reaches disk. One binary, 24 languages.Rust · Static analysis · Agents
  2. 02okf-mcpPersistent memory for agents over MCP: linked Markdown notes, GitHub as source of truth, semantic search and lightweight reasoning.MCP · Knowledge graph · pgvector
  3. 03apicentricAn API simulator for the terminal: YAML mocks, contract tests, client generation and MCP for AI assistants.Rust · CLI · Contracts
  4. 04kthulu-goAn AI-assisted Go framework: scaffolding, a code graph and an MCP server, so the agent works on structure rather than loose text.Go · Scaffolding · MCP
