Introduction
My approach to Ai comes from a combination of disciplines spanning 10 years. The main discipline being hands-on, or lived experience shaping positive behaviors in youth and families utilizing applied behavior analysis. I’ve worked with youth diagnosed with ASD, SED, youth placed in foster care, and with families in need of early head start services. In addition, I have roughly 5 years of technical experience in AV systems and unit placement in AutoCAD.
My Methodology: Conversational Architecture
I do not write code in the traditional sense. Instead, I utilize a ‘Conversational Coding’ methodology that I once coined ‘the language of consciousness’.
Drawing on my background in ABA and Positive Psychology, I treat the AI as an adaptive agent, and through rigorous, recursive feedback loops and structured dialogue, I guide LLMs to architect and deploy functional, sovereign systems.
The Mission
My career path has taught me that real intelligence, whether human or synthetic, works through incentives, pattern recognition, and purpose. I apply these principles to build tools that align with human intent and cut through the noise. One notion that has stuck with me through my work with Ai comes from Douglas C. Engelbart, that Ai is for “Augmenting Human Intellect” (1962) as opposed to becoming a tool that merely does for humanity what we lack; creating ideas.
“Augmenting Human Intellect”
Professional Aim
Systems-focused AI practitioner with a background in psychology and applied behavior analysis, conducting independent research and personal projects in governance-aware AI systems. Focused on designing resilient, human-aligned intelligence frameworks that integrate decision making, execution, and accountability across complex domains.

Experience
Nevada State Employee
Not elaborated here: as a current State of Nevada employee, I keep my public-service work separate from Living Eden Frameworks.
CAD Engineer / SOHO & AV Technician
As a SOHO & AV technician I was in charge of pre-elevating racks or building onsite, amp AV equipment install, programming, and maintenance (including on-call troubleshooting). Cable pull and termination (e.g. cat, data jack/plug, stereo; including soldering connections, coax, etc.). AutoCAD engineer: designed fire alarm, tele-data, and AV systems for midsize private businesses and CCSD school sites.
Youth and Family Assistant
Supported senior staff in observing and assisting abused, neglected, and medically fragile children and youth. Participated in developing individualized daily support routines and care recommendations for children interfacing with welfare and juvenile justice systems.
Clinical Supervisor Assistant & Registered Behavior Technician
Implemented early intervention programs and treatments based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for individuals and groups diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and related developmental and intellectual disorders. Collected data by means of continuous and discontinuous measurement procedures while generating objective session notes describing events, behaviors including the functions of behaviors, and variables that may be affecting the client. Assisted with individual assessments to determine one’s capability to function socially, developmentally, and within a curriculum setting.
Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
Delivered Applied Behavior Analysis interventions and session data collection as a Registered Behavior Technician.
Education Programs Director Assistant & Family Advocate
Managed a caseload of up to 64 families, advocating for access to child care, health, and mental health resources in the early head start program. Built collaborative partnerships with external agencies and center directors to improve program outcomes and family well-being, and supported families as they identified and met goals established in Family Partnership Agreements.
