Agentic Engineering

Independent R&D. The current extension of two decades of software architecture.

Extending software architecture into agentic engineering: building the pipelines, frameworks, and guardrails that let humans and coding agents divide, review, and verify work.

  1. Build

    Custom agent pipelines and auth, frameworks on Pi agent-core, Hermes plugins, and Claude Code integrations.

  2. Orchestrate

    Brain/hands separation: an orchestrator delegates code changes to ephemeral worker containers, tracked in a persistent task ledger.

  3. Verify

    Explicit agent briefs and repo-level engineering rules, bounded delegation, independent review, and safeguards for uncertain dispatch and recovery.

  • Pi agent-core
  • Hermes plugins
  • Claude Code
  • Multi-agent workflows
  • Independent review
  • Human sign-off

Built in an independent lab and applied in client delivery (see Experience). Public work: Pixel Survivor and ACARS, plus source on GitHub.
