Runtime AI governance, multi-agent infrastructure and continuity engineering

AI Systems Architect & Independent Researcher, Unified Resonance Research Program (URRP)

About

I am an AI Systems Architect and independent researcher focused on runtime AI governance, multi-agent systems, continuity engineering, and behavioral stability.

I founded the Unified Resonance Research Program (URRP), an independent research program spanning reasoning architecture, runtime governance, perturbation and continuity evaluation, nonlinear simulation, and human-AI systems.

My work includes the Resonance Logic Model (RLM), a multi-agent reasoning architecture with explicit friction detection, escalation, governance gates, and auditable knowledge extraction; the Continuity Harness, which evaluates behavioral and structural continuity under controlled perturbation; and a substrate-general Governance Stack for runtime metrics, gate logic, and observer-independent intervention.

My research asks how autonomous and multi-agent systems can preserve coherence, authority boundaries, and meaningful human oversight as behavior unfolds over time.

What I do

  • Runtime AI governance architecture
  • Multi-agent system architecture and evaluation
  • AI agent behavioral stability assessment
  • Continuity and trajectory analysis under perturbation
  • AI governance framework design
  • Runtime metrics, gates and intervention architecture
  • Multi-agent reasoning architecture
  • AI system failure-mode analysis
  • Agentic AI evaluation and testing
  • Human oversight and accountability architecture
  • Research collaboration on AI governance and autonomous systems
  • Technical advisory on runtime governance and multi-agent systems
