IT Admin at ONE&ALL Church (San Dimas, CA) — and building personal AI infrastructure on the side.
Samuel — a personal AI agent and MCP server that lives in my home infrastructure. Samuel observes Home Assistant state, generates briefings, proposes actions, and enforces a governed approval loop before anything executes. Not a prototype — a continuously-running production system on always-on Linux hardware.
Stewardship Layer — a governance framework for human-in-the-loop automation: Propose → Explain → Confirm → Execute → Learn. Built because I needed it, used in production inside Samuel. Relevant to anyone shipping AI agents or automation that acts on real systems.
samuel-context-public — architecture patterns and agent context for building Samuel-like personal AI systems. Written for agents and developers. Start with CLAUDE.md.
ha-config — a real-world Home Assistant configuration managed as code. Modular package architecture, multi-signal presence detection, consistent lighting standards, and full Samuel integration.
AI tools handle implementation details. I focus on architecture, governance, and stability. Systems ship fast — that's the constraint. They also stay up, stay correct, and serve the people using them.
