AI Infrastructure & Systems Engineering

Building tools for the agentic AI stack. Wire formats, code intelligence, MCP infrastructure, conformance testing.


GCF (Graph Compact Format)

GCF

The AI-native wire format for structured data. 100% comprehension on every frontier model. 50-92% fewer tokens than JSON. 2,500+ LLM evaluations across 11 models and 4 providers. 43B+ lossless round-trips across 5 formats. Deployed in 12 production systems including Chrome DevTools MCP. Zero training required.

agent-lsp

agent-lsp

Code intelligence infrastructure for AI agents. 65 tools, 30 CI-verified languages, 24 agent workflows. Single Go binary. Uses GCF as default output format.

mcp-assert

mcp-assert

Conformance testing for MCP servers. 102 servers scanned, 34 bugs found, 12 upstream issues filed. Fuzz testing, schema linting, per-assertion Docker isolation.

knowing

knowing

Self-adapting code intelligence engine. The system GCF was extracted from. 28 MCP tools, graph-native analysis, session deduplication.

polywave

polywave

Parallel AI agent coordination. Disjoint file ownership, git worktree isolation, tier-gated execution, and human-reviewed plans. A Scout agent maps the codebase into a coordination plan; Wave agents implement their assigned files simultaneously.

Research

9 published papers. A research program on tokenizer-attention coupling proving that BPE merge decisions permanently constrain transformer attention capacity, plus systems work on distributed convergence and memory reclamation.

Tokenizer-Attention Coupling DOI How BPE merge decisions permanently shape transformer internal organization. 43 tokenizers, 20 providers. Controlled experiment: identical models, different tokenizer. Merge barriers produce 3-738x better structured data comprehension, zero natural language cost. 18-phase causal ablation across 2 architectures, 2 scales, 3 domains.

Stranded Attention DOI A previously undescribed failure mode: every attention head in a standard BPE model has structural capacity the tokenizer permanently prevents. All 384 heads at 410M and 768 at 1.3B show 4x more delimiter attention under clean boundaries. The 40pp frustration gap appears by step 5,000 and never closes.

Developmental Atlas of Attention Head Specialization DOI First head-specialization atlas at scale: 384 heads, 7 behaviors, 131 checkpoints, 7 runs, 2 architectures. The BPE capacity tax is architecture-independent (+64.3% NeoX, +67.0% Llama). 48-56% of attention capacity in standard BPE is non-productive.

Structural Ambiguity in JSON Tokenization DOI Cross-tokenizer analysis across 8 tokenizers, 6 providers. JSON field names fuse with the opening quote on 50-63% of tokenizers. JSON boundary merge rate 8.93% vs 1.00% for pipe; TOON tab 59.82%. JSON overhead reaches 81% at 500 rows.

Graph Compact Format (GCF) DOI The AI-native wire format for structured data. 2,500+ evaluations across 11 models and 4 providers. 43B+ lossless round-trips. Deployed in 12 production systems. Spec v3.2 Stable. Explore the project

The Hierarchical Identity Architecture DOI Content-addressing as a computation primitive for software relationship intelligence. 2.75x more precise than GitNexus (p=0.0003), 193x faster indexing on enterprise repos. Explore the project · merkle-strata

Memory Drainability DOI Formalizes when coarse-grained allocators can reclaim memory. Proves a sharp O(1) vs Ω(t) dichotomy for bounded retention. Validated empirically (238x recycle-rate differential). Explore the project

Normalization Confluence DOI Coordination-free convergence via well-founded compensation. Third convergence regime alongside CRDTs and invariant confluence. Explore the project

Federated Normalization Confluence DOI Multi-organizational convergence through morphism validity preservation over acyclic networks.
