Field Manual
A context-first vocabulary trainer that drops designers into realistic engineering scenarios, then turns the words they meet into an RPG with 8-bit reward games.
MCP Server Registration
A shared-backend architecture for MCP server registration and discovery, adopted by 80%+ of developers across 5 enterprise-approved servers.
Evidence Engine
A real, deployed MCP server whose product is the evidence trail, not the verdict. Its first tool plans astrophotography shoot windows and returns the weighted reasoning behind every call.
Self-Service Workflow
Rebuilding a confusing multi-touch credential request process into one guided change-order flow that scaled completion from 53% to 96%.
API Governance
Cutting platform debt 25% by pairing dormant-API evidence with a clear action path across an 11,000-endpoint platform.
XD Library
1,000+ viewers in two weeks, 54 contributions in three months, built by matching the IA to how design specialists categorize their own work.
Olaiya's Cradle
A pro bono service design audit that secured $50K in funding and became a reusable toolkit for future engagements.
Recipe Book
Rebuilding an early coding project with everything I know now: same recipes, same voice, entirely different architecture.
Branch Theory
An interactive Git simulator that turns commits, branches, and merge conflicts into something a designer can click through and actually understand.
Design Debt Dashboard
A build-time scanner that checks this portfolio's own source for design-token drift, instead of proving the idea against a mock file.
Guess the Winner
An interactive companion to Self-Service Workflow that asks you to guess which design won, then replays the real 53% to 96% outcome instead of telling you upfront.
