Engineering leverage through agents.

A workshop for LLM-assisted systems, built by someone who's shipped production telemetry. This is my public home for experiments, projects, and field notes around agentic coding workflows, LLM tooling, and the infrastructure that keeps them honest. Industrial software background is there — SCADA, telemetry, edge + cloud — but the page leads with the work, not the résumé.

workbench

AI-first, infrastructure-honest.

One anchor: agents as a daily engineering tool. One support: the infrastructure habits that keep them trustworthy.

AI as engineering leverage

Daily work with local and hosted LLMs, coding agents, planning loops, and review checkpoints — designed so the human keeps judgment and the agent keeps the typing.

Agent workflowsPlanning, execution, code review, verification gates, handoff documents.
Local LLMsPrivate drafts, repo-aware summaries, offline-friendly assistants.
GuardrailsHuman approval for risky operations; tests and verification before claims of done.
ToolingClaude Code, custom agents, plugins, skills, hooks.

Infrastructure that keeps agents honest

Production habits give agent work somewhere safe to land: observability, boundaries, rollback thinking.

SignalsMetrics, logs, traces, useful alerts.
BoundariesPublic homepage; private surfaces gated; no public inventory.
HabitsSecrets boundaries, rollback thinking, boring deployments.
built with agents

Projects, with the agent's role declared.

Each card names what was built and where agents materially helped — honestly, not inflated.

This site: an AI-first personal workshop with Astro, Cloudflare Pages deployment, real legal routes, and a deliberately static privacy posture.

Agent involvement: Specification pivot, Astro scaffold, content structure, deployment workflow, and verification loop drafted with an agent; positioning and project selection kept human-owned. View repo →

hollisvane.com

An Astro + Cloudflare site for a fiction project, including newsletter backend work and content automation patterns.

Agent involvement: Agent-assisted feature work and content updates, including book-page automation and structured phase planning visible in the repository history. View repo →
notes

Occasional field notes.

Enough to show thinking, not enough to become a content treadmill.

AI workflows

Making agents useful without handing them the keys

Coming soon. Where automation helps, where it needs boundaries, and what stays human-owned.

Infrastructure

Public signal, private surfaces

Coming soon. How to show technical signal without publishing operational internals.
