// shipping
  • • client engagements — data & ai consulting for teams shipping analytics, ml, and agentic systems. the day work.
  • • ikeanalytics.com — this site. the v1 you see now; the writing list and the founder page are the active pieces.
  • • the next product — a private build. not on the public site until there's a real surface to show. notes on what it is and why will come to the writing list when the v1 is ready for strangers.
// learning
  • • memory and state architectures for multi-agent systems — what works at the substrate layer, what doesn't, and what's still being invented.
  • • independent publishing — long-form on the open web, rss-first, no platform dependence.
  • • the quantic emba — operations, finance, and the parts of running a business that don't fit in a code editor.
// next
  • • more writing on this site — case studies from the consulting work, then notes on what the next product is and why, when there's something worth saying.
  • • personal infra on a pi 5 — running this site behind a cloudflare proxy, on my own hardware, with a cloudflare origin cert for tls.
  • • the next product's public surface — when the v1 is something i'd hand to a stranger without apologizing for it.
// shipped

past work, for context.

  • • aip — the agent interoperability protocol — wire-level protocol for cross-organizational service coordination. spec, whitepaper, and reference implementation shipped. v1.1.0. public surface at github.com/githubscum/aip-protocol.
  • • engagements in healthcare analytics, agriculture, and federal contracting — the 12-year track record, on the founder page.

Context is a retrieval word. It describes something you fetch and put in front of a model so it answers better.

I stopped thinking of the prompt as a wall and started hearing it for what it actually is, which is a doorbell with no door behind it. It rings on everything.

I have never raised this breed before, so I enlisted a consultant.There is a room under every life now. A low hum of everything you have ever written down, every contact, every decision with its reasons still attached, sitting in one place and vibrating at a frequency only you are supposed to hear. The industry...There is a frequency beneath every system that most people never hear. A low, humming truth that sits under the noise and the polish and the architecture diagrams. You only notice it when the pressure rises. When the cables buzz. When the whole...An autonomous software agent is a program that takes a goal, makes a plan, calls tools, and produces an output. Many such agents exist. They are built by different teams, on different runtimes, with different model backends, and they live in...Every protocol has to answer the same first question: how do you know it's the real one? AIP answers that question with itself. The protocol I built is the system I used to build the protocol. Each piece of proof I produce is itself a build event....
