James C. Young

AI Infrastructure Builder — I build the systems that make AI agents work in production: orchestration runtimes, coordination protocols, budget controls, and resilience patterns.

17 years in manufacturing operations. Self-taught engineer. Now building production infrastructure for AI systems.


Flagship

AI exocortex and multi-agent orchestration monorepo. Four packages: Core (personal AI with memory and learning), Forge (workflow runtime with budget enforcement, quality gates, and checkpoints), Quorum (decentralized coordination protocol, live on PyPI), and Bootstrap (install daemon and dashboard).

13,100+ tests · 96-97% coverage per package · Python · PyO3 · MIT

League-centric AI fantasy sports decision engine. Next.js frontend + React Native mobile + FastAPI backend + PostgreSQL + Redis. Deployed to production on Fly.io + Vercel.

1,988 tests · 99% coverage · Python · TypeScript · benchgoblins.com

Offensive security operations platform. Recon, scanning, vulnerability analysis, and reporting — orchestrated through structured pipelines with full audit trails.

5,074 tests · Python · Docker · Multi-arch (amd64 + arm64) · MIT

Local-first document intelligence. NER, classification, OCR, full-text search, forensics timeline, and entity graph analysis — all on SQLite with zero cloud dependencies.

1,055 tests · 97% coverage · Python · FastAPI · MIT


CI/CD & Infrastructure

83 workflow files across 20 repos. 0 open code scanning alerts.

Capability Evidence
Containerization Multi-stage Dockerfiles, docker-compose (5 services), templates
Kubernetes Deployments, HPA (2-10 pods), Ingress, Kustomize, Helm chart — K8s manifests
CI Pipelines Lint → test → SAST → build → deploy across Python, Rust, TypeScript
Security Scanning CodeQL + gitleaks + Bandit + Semgrep + Trivy + TruffleHog + pip-audit
Live Deployments BenchGoblins on Fly.io + Vercel, 4 packages on PyPI via OIDC
Monitoring Prometheus alerting (14 rules), OpenTelemetry tracing — alert rules
Benchmarks Automated performance regression tracking on gh-pages (3 repos)
