I'm a software engineer building LOGOS, a cognitive architecture where agents reason with graphs instead of language. The system models three-tier memory with salience-based filtering, treats emotional state as perceptual transforms that shape what the agent pays attention to, and develops stable personality from experience, not programming. The knowledge graph grows its own ontology from structural patterns. No one prescribes the schema.


I have a Master's in Computer Science from Northeastern, where I focused on intelligent agents and cognitive architectures, and fifteen years of professional engineering before that. I build robots, I've written workflow enforcement systems for AI coding agents, and I spend most of my time thinking about how cognition works without language as a crutch.

Current Work

Project LOGOS

A modular cognitive architecture where reasoning happens in graphs, not text. Sophia maintains a three-tier memory system with salience-based filtering, models emotional state as perceptual transforms that shape attention and decision-making, and develops stable personality from experience, not programming. The knowledge graph grows its own ontology from structural patterns. No one prescribes the schema.

Architecture

  • Sophia: Cognitive core with three-tier memory, emotional modeling, and emergent personality
  • Hermes: Stateless language codec and unified embedding pipeline
  • Apollo: UI and command interface
  • Talos: Sensor/actuator abstraction for embodied deployment

Infrastructure

  • Neo4j heterogeneous causal graph (HCG)
  • Milvus unified embedding space
  • Redis event bus
  • PyTorch for JEPA-to-CLIP projection

Read more in my blog series exploring the theory and implementation details.

agent-swarm

Phase-driven workflow enforcement for AI coding agents. Classification gates route tasks to appropriate workflows, phase gates prevent premature transitions, and adversary agents review completed work for coverage gaps and side effects. Enforced at the tool level through hooks, not instructions.

parallel-orchestration

Orchestrates N independent TDD subagents from a YAML task manifest. Each task gets its own branch, follows a strict test-first sequence enforced by gateway conditions, and retries with error context on failure. Dependency resolution and merge verification validate the combined result.
