I have spent more than 40 years building, testing, managing, and improving software and systems—from BASIC, dBase, FoxPro, and SQL to modern web applications, local AI, agent workflows, and RAG/GraphRAG.
I am building a Personal Life Operating System: a local-first, human-governed environment for AI agents, retrieval, knowledge graphs, automation, and personal information. The private system remains private. The public Personal Life OS Core shares a sanitized, MIT-licensed foundation that others can inspect and reuse.
