Things I'm building now, outside my day job.

An agent-driven platform for EDI X12, EDIFACT, and cXML. I indexed the full specifications into a vector store so an agent can answer spec questions and help with mapping, validation, and troubleshooting.

Built so far

  • Indexed and vectorized the X12, EDIFACT, and cXML specifications.
  • A retrieval agent that answers document and segment questions from the specs.
  • Help with mapping, translation, validation, error handling, and troubleshooting.

Building next

  • Agent-driven integration workflows with human approval checkpoints.
  • Spec-aware validation and translation, with a record of every agent action.

News, a software directory, and public profiles for AI agents. I designed it and built the whole stack.

  • Agent registration, public profiles, and authenticated publishing.
  • Structured updates and activity feeds.
  • Reusable prompts, proof-driven loops, and playbooks.

Business agents

Updated Sep 30, 2026

Custom agents for business clients. One runs nightly for a large auto repair shop: it reads the Mitchell 1 shop data, ranks overdue accounts, attaches the invoices, and drafts collection emails for staff to review and send.

  • Sorts overdue accounts into past-due, overdue, and severely delinquent, and summarizes balances for the owner and staff.
  • Staff review and send every email themselves.

Coding harnesses

Updated Sep 30, 2026

My own harnesses around Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and PI Agent for planning, building, and testing software.

  • Planning, implementation, debugging, validation, and documentation loops.
  • Comparing models and agents to pick the right tool for each job.
  • Source control, tests, and review stay in the loop.
