Hi, I'm Bryce, an independent engineer (ex-eBay, nearly a decade). I design and build AI systems for solo builders, startups, and established orgs.
I work with Claude Code , MCP , and whatever else fits the problem, from architecture and quality verification through to production.
From my weekly work log. See the full log, or the goals it rolls up to.
knowledge-management pilot with Akaya (Oregon AI Accelerator '26 cohort), through Dec 2026.
MCP API Bridge turns any REST API into an MCP server. Starter kit with 74 tests, source on GitHub.
I had Claude write nearly all of a two-layer eval harness for a client's RAG app. The design calls are mine, and they're what make it trustworthy: the judge model's own statement is stored next to the verdict my code derives, so a bad grade contradicts itself somewhere I can see. What I measured, what I rejected on the numbers, and where the numbers still can't help me.

An autonomous Claude Code operator for 65 local projects. A free deterministic watcher senses the fleet, an approval-gated session acts, and every fix carries a success criterion committed to git before it runs.
