Selected delivery first, then the systems and research underneath. The archive preserves 41 projects.

01 / Software · PRODUCTION

SWAIA

A market needed an operating system.

The Artist Directory became the system of record for the 2026 Santa Fe Indian Market, carrying artist and market information into a working public system.

Evidence & limits

Artist Directory production use is recorded for the 2026 market; this does not classify every SWAIA artifact or assert current availability.

Contract Developer, SWAIA, May–August 2026. Built and delivered the Artist Directory — the system of record for Santa Fe Indian Market, covering roughly 2,500 artist records and 14,900 artworks.

org-internal · Recorded 2026-08-26

Repeat engagement and delivered system. Counts describe the recorded system, not current users or adoption. This evidence does not establish completed infrastructure handoff.

Artist Directory repository (access may be restricted) ↗

Principal Architect & Designer, SWAIA (Southwestern Association for Indian Arts). Built the Indigenous-art commerce platform on Next.js, Supabase, and Stripe Connect, with the recommendation, search, and conversational-assist features built directly.

documented · Recorded 2026-08-26

Authored client work, not independent acceptance. The February 2023 start is author-stated.

Bodies Relationships Behavior

One shared field

02 / Interaction · RELEASED

Fundamental Engine

Interface behavior needed a system of its own.

A runtime for representing relationships, constraints, and behavior explicitly instead of scattering them across component-local animation.

Evidence & limits

The npm runtime used by this site is released. Broader platforms and experimental surfaces have their own maturity; commercial adoption is not established.

Inspect the runtime repository ↗. This entry uses the same field as the surrounding page; the diagram illustrates its vocabulary.

03 / Physical · ARCHIVED

Cursed Crypt

A funded idea had to become a manufactured object.

Product design carried through materials, production engineering, manufacturing, and fulfillment. A repeatable production line made physical products that shipped.

Evidence & limits

The company closed. The historical work includes manufacturing and fulfilled physical products.

Founder & Chief Product Officer, Cursed Crypt, May 2018 – Sep 2022. Kickstarter cleared a $30K goal at ~330% (~$100K on-platform plus ~$75K direct presales), followed by ~$500K seed. Built an end-to-end just-in-time manufacturing line that ran largely autonomously.

stated · Observation date not established

Author-confirmed account. Funding is not revenue, profitability, or continuing operation. The company has closed.

Cursed Crypt shipped 25,000+ units.

stated · Observation date not established

Author-confirmed units, not boards. Fulfillment records have not yet been retrieved for inspection.

Systems & engineering

What can a tool actually know about a running system?

Reflective Rust

Runtime descriptors carry provenance, access policy, compatibility, and signed identity. Compiler facts, declarations, and observations remain distinguishable.

What must be explicit before an agent can own the next step?

Formal Project Bootstrap

Intent, authority, ready work, compiled context, evidence, and qualification become inspectable project machinery. Agent Control Plane supplies admission and bounded delivery decisions.

How does a desktop application become a tool an agent can use?

InDesign MCP

Layout, styles, assets, and export cross a structured tool boundary into InDesign, through host automation or an optional UXP bridge.

Runtime, architecture, and source evidence →

Research / open work

Questions that extend beyond the implemented systems: semantic reflection and decision protocols, and Distance from Gray.
