I design and build intelligent systems.

  1. Leading AI adoption at Sherman Research
  2. Head developer at Unbreakable OS
  3. Dean's List machine learning graduate, BYU

I studied machine learning before agents were a product. Now I build systems of AI agents that research, build, check and ship real work, from the first idea to production.

L01 · The curve

Same person. Different system.

Each bar is a month of my GitHub contributions: commits and pull requests, mostly in private company repos. In July my agents started doing the building. I still decide what ships.

L02 · How I build

I build with agents. I own every decision.

  1. Request
  2. Plan
  3. Agents build
  4. Checks
  5. My yes
  6. Ship
I set the direction.I decide what matters and what's good enough. That call never gets handed off.
Agents multiply the work.Research, code, checks and follow ups run in parallel, around the clock, on systems I designed.
Nothing ships without my yes.Every release, message and change waits for me to say go.

L03 · Selected work

Things I've built.

Product · Head developer

Unbreakable OS

Business operating software. I lead development across web, iOS, Android and the backend, shipped in rolling releases with no downtime.

AI adoption · Research firm

Sherman Research

I lead AI adoption at an investment research firm: the rollout plan, permission levels, the first company wide AI workshop and weekly office hours. Its engineering runs on my agent system.

Data · Wealth management client

Board reporting

Reporting across a group of companies, connected to their accounting systems and reconciled to the penny. When a number is missing, it says so instead of guessing.

Personal · Chess

Postmortem

I built an app to find out why I lose at chess. Turns out I'm worst when I think the longest: my blunders pile up after a minute on the clock.

Personal · Sports model

March Madness engine

A bracket model for the 2026 tournament. Across all 32 first round games, it landed within 3.6% of Vegas on average.

Tool · Mine

MeetingRecorder

A Mac app that records and transcribes my calls, so every meeting becomes notes my agents can work from.

L04 · Writing

How I work with agents, measured.

Experiment · 10 min206×The 206× experimentI went through 35 days of my own logs, every second I spoke, every word I typed and every click I gave my AI agents. Then three blind AI estimators priced the work they shipped. One hour of my instructions produced about 206 hours of skilled work.System · 8 minHelm: the task system my agents runEvery project I take on becomes a card with an end condition. Slack, email and my own words feed it, one AI agent owns each active card, and a single page puts what needs me on top.Skill · 8 minThe art of context switchingOn a typical day I steer 27 separate jobs across three businesses and move between them about once a minute. Here's how I get my bearings in nine words.

The model is the engine. The harness is the rest of the car.

Write everything you just learned into a skill. It's a save point.

L06 · About

Hi, I'm Calvin.

Before code, it was basketball. I won the 2018 Colorado 4A state championship with Longmont High, then started for Southern Virginia University. I still play pickup every week.

I studied machine learning at BYU. I joined Unbreakable OS part time when it was still PDFs and fill in forms. Now I'm its head developer, and I lead AI adoption at Sherman Research.

I live in Boston. Off the clock it's chess lessons, golf and my D&D table. My work sits where software, data and AI agents meet, and I explain it plainly enough that anyone in the room can follow.

Most people see the surface. I work on what's under it.

Why

Why agency matters to me.

I build agents. My faith taught me agency first: the God given power to choose and to act. Everything I build is meant to protect that for the people who use it.

The power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. D&C 58:28

Have work that should run without you? Let's build the system.

  1. 1You tell me what takes too much of your time.
  2. 2I map the system: what agents do, and where a person decides.
  3. 3Agents build it. I check it. You approve it.
What kind of work?
I read every message myself.
