Hey, I'm Kjell

Engineer / AI orchestration, Mission Critical, Safety Critical Systems. Background in C++, Python. Location: USA

Tech Badges

C++ Python TypeScript Rust Linux CMake Docker

About

I've a background in building mission-critical and safety-critical systems. I apply that same rigor to agentic engineering. Trustworthy systems show explicit process, verification, and evidence loops. From crash-safe logging to AI orchestration, the through-line is consistent: create a system that can be trusted through independent verification, layered review, and human gates, not by hoping any single actor gets it right.

Philosophy

"You should never trust a single actor. Not a human. Not a machine. You trust a system built on independent verification, layered review, and evidence. We trust repeatable processes backed by evidence"

"Unlocking agentic engineering leverage comes from discipline, process, and constraints."

"The human becomes the system thinker."

"When speed is abundant, precision is scarce."

Current Projects

  • Quest, Multi-agent orchestration for software development: High quality, production standard agentic orchestration - structured AI teamwork with checks, balances, dual reviews, and human gates in service of one principle: "Stop blaming the model. Fix the process."
  • Snake | Play it!, Quest agentic orchestration made, for fun, the classic Snake game. Demo'd at the 2026 Miami Tech Summit. Play it straight from your phone or laptop and try not to get hooked.
  • doc2md | Use it live!, 3x document converter.
    • Free: Core npm package converts a multitude of text and binary formats to markdown in less than 1 second. Reduces Codex/Claude token use and reasoning time with 50% (benchmarks in repo).
    • Privacy first. Edit or convert to Markdown, without leaving the browser or the Apple app. doc2md turns documents into clean Markdown, ready for AI tools and easier to edit, search, and reuse.
doc2md_presentation
  • RepoLens, License-disclosure orchestrator. Know exactly what open source you ship and what it obligates you to. Conducts best-in-class scanners across repositories, resolves ambiguity with evidence, flags policy risk, and produces Markdown, CSV, and .docx disclosures.

  • g3log, Asynchronous, crash-safe C++14 logger (955 stars, 282 forks). Author and community maintainer.

  • dicom-usb-extract Point Image Extract at any folder, USB drive, or phone download folder and it instantly finds the pictures inside for easy preview and ZIP export. It started as a way to rescue X-rays from a medical USB, but it’s really just a dead-simple image finder for anyone who doesn’t want to write a script.

  • Snip [released] Get more context from the meeting links you already share. Snip turns a Google Meet, Zoom, or shared-tool URL into an expiring link. Review IP-based location, recognized Tor usage, network, and browser details when someone uses it. Collect IP geolocation, imperfect as it is it's still useful. Add custom questions if you want to build a better understanding on who you are meeting with. Try it free during early access: https://snip.candidtalentedge.com/
snip2
  • CandidTalentEdge Privacy-first candidate screening that elevates the hiring manager, not replaces them. Cuts through resume-writing noise to surface real candidate signals, strengths, gaps, and evidence, with every decision documented and auditable. AI as untrusted component; humans drive, amplified by agentic insight.
candidtalentedge-promo-landscape
  • sketch2md | Use it live!, Free, browser-based ASCII wireframe editor for AI-assisted coding. Sketch UI with 20+ components, export as Markdown, and paste straight into Claude Code or Cursor, AI reads wireframes faster than prose. No account, no install, works offline. Forked from the MIT-licensed Mockdown and rebuilt with Quest. sketch2md_desktop_promo

  • Diffly [ongoing hardening, pre release]. The best and most intuitive diff tool you ever used. Frustration with heavy IDEs, replaces heavy wielding, poor maintained and aging tools with cryptic configurations. Built to be better than the rest and pain-free to use. Free for evaluation and seriously dirt cheap for year long license(s). Aimed to replace both free and too expensive commercial tools. Agentic flows integrations for branch and worktree collision handling and just everyday use cases.

  • Legion [pre-beta hardening], Transparent, adaptable orchestration framework in Rust. Every decision is traceable. Supports constellations from simple to complex for non-technical through technical users, production-quality, opinionated about good software from the start, with custom skills and coding culture built in.

  • Figma MCP [private release], React, Angular, Figma design, 360 roundtrip, including detecting diffs and auto-sync. Couple with Quest and you got production quality code from Claude/Figma Desktop App --> repo.

  • Google Docs MCP [private release], Anthropic tool frustration drove this effort. Google full API implementations, coupled with skills and it's blazingly fast to work, read, analyze, export, compare. Used daily throughout our company. The best there is?

  • Google Sheets MCP [private release], Anthropic tool frustration drove this effort. Google full API implementations, coupled with skills and it's blazingly fast to work, read, analyze, export, compare. Used daily throughout our company. The best there is?

  • Google Gmail MCP [private release], frustrated with Google's and Anthropic’s half measure gmail tool we created our own. Now daily briefs, inbox management is moving chaos to order. Top Notch Security layered policies and multi-model injection protection. A gem!

  • Datadog MCP [private release], not needing all bells and whistles, frustration by Datadog "preview now but later you have to pay extra to use it". Tailored for our use cases. Now 50% faster than the official MCP, specialized beats company world-generic!
