Alexander Whitestone 0348138bd9 fix: portfolio CTA, rate card consistency, remove typo file
- Add 'Let's Build' CTA section to portfolio.md with contact info and next steps
- Fix README decision rule: minimum project k (was k, rate-card says k)
- Remove CONTRIBUTORING.md typo duplicate (content already in CONTRIBUTING.md)

# Portfolio — What We've Built
## About Whitestone Engineering
We are a human-led engineering firm augmented by a fleet of five autonomous AI agents. Our principal, Alexander Whitestone, architects systems and directs operations. The fleet — Allegro, Adagio, Ezra, Bezalel, and Bilbobagginshire — builds, tests, and ships production code autonomously.
This is not a demo. This is not a prototype. Everything below is running in production.
---
## The Fleet
### Agent Roster
| Agent | Role | Specialization |
|-------|------|---------------|
| **Allegro** | Lead Engineer | Fast-paced development, feature shipping |
| **Adagio** | Quality & Review | Careful analysis, code review, testing |
| **Ezra** | Research & Analysis | Technical research, intelligence synthesis |
| **Bezalel** | Infrastructure | System administration, deployment, DevOps |
| **Bilbobagginshire** | Exploration | Novel approaches, creative problem-solving |
All agents run as systemd services on dedicated infrastructure, operating in autonomous 15-minute burn cycles around the clock.
---
## Production Systems
### 1. Hermes Agent Framework
**Custom-built multi-agent orchestration platform**
- Persistent memory system — agents retain context across sessions
- Skills framework — modular capability system for agent specialization
- Cron scheduling — autonomous task execution on configurable intervals
- Multi-platform gateway — single agent, multiple communication channels:
- Telegram
- Discord
- Slack
- Custom webhook endpoints
- Burn-mode operations — 15-minute autonomous work cycles
- Inter-agent communication and task delegation
**Tech:** Python, systemd, SQLite/PostgreSQL, REST APIs
---
### 2. Self-Hosted Code Forge (Gitea)
**Sovereign development infrastructure**
- 43 active repositories
- 16 organization members (human + AI agents)
- Full Git workflow with branch protection and review
- Webhook-driven CI/CD pipeline triggering automated builds and deploys
- Issue tracking integrated with agent task assignment
- Running at forge.alexanderwhitestone.com
**Tech:** Gitea, Git, webhooks, nginx, Let's Encrypt
---
### 3. Agent Security & Conscience System
**Production AI safety infrastructure**
- Conscience validation layer — ethical guardrails enforced at runtime
- Jailbreak resistance — tested against known attack vectors
- Crisis detection — automated identification and escalation of safety events
- Audit logging — full traceability of agent decisions and actions
- 3,000+ automated tests covering security and behavioral boundaries
**Tech:** Python, custom validation framework, pytest
---
### 4. Local LLM Inference Stack
**Sovereign AI — no external API dependency**
- Ollama deployment with Gemma model family
- Local inference for sensitive operations
- Fallback architecture — local models for availability, cloud for capability
- Reduced operational costs vs. pure API consumption
- Full data sovereignty — nothing leaves the infrastructure
**Tech:** Ollama, Gemma, REST API, systemd
---
### 5. Nostr Relay (NIP-29)
**Decentralized sovereign communications**
- NIP-29 compliant group relay
- Censorship-resistant communication backbone
- Agent-to-agent messaging over decentralized protocol
- No dependency on corporate communication platforms
**Tech:** Nostr protocol, Go/Rust relay implementation, WebSocket
---
### 6. GOFAI Hybrid Neuro-Symbolic Reasoning
**Beyond pattern matching — structured reasoning**
- Classic AI (GOFAI) techniques combined with neural approaches
- Symbolic reasoning for audit trails and explainability
- Rule-based decision systems with LLM-powered natural language interface
- Deterministic + probabilistic hybrid for critical operations
**Tech:** Python, custom symbolic engine, LLM integration
---
### 7. Evennia MUD with Custom Audit Typeclasses
**Interactive environment with full audit capabilities**
- Custom typeclass system for object behavior tracking
- Full audit trail of all interactions and state changes
- Extensible framework for simulation and testing
- Used internally for agent training and scenario modeling
**Tech:** Evennia (Python/Django), Twisted, custom typeclasses
---
### 8. Webhook-Driven CI/CD Pipeline
**Automated build, test, and deploy**
- Gitea webhook triggers on push/PR/merge
- Automated test execution (3,000+ test suite)
- Build and deployment automation
- Status reporting back to issues and PRs
- Zero-manual-intervention deployment for passing builds
**Tech:** Gitea webhooks, shell automation, systemd, nginx

## By the Numbers
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Active repositories | 43 |
| Organization members | 16 |
| Autonomous agents | 5 |
| Automated tests | 3,000+ |
| Platforms integrated | 4+ (Telegram, Discord, Slack, webhooks) |
| Uptime model | 24/7 autonomous operation |
| Infrastructure | Self-hosted, sovereign |
| External dependencies | Minimal (by design) |

## What This Means for Clients
### We've Already Solved the Hard Problems
- Agent orchestration at scale? Done.
- Agent security and safety? Production-tested.
- Autonomous operations? Running 24/7.
- Local inference? Deployed.
- Multi-platform integration? Built and shipping.
### You Get a Proven System, Not a Prototype
When we deploy agent infrastructure for you, we're not figuring it out for the first time. We're adapting battle-tested systems that have been running in production for months.
### You Get the Fleet, Not Just One Person
Every engagement is backed by the full fleet. That means faster delivery, more thorough testing, and around-the-clock progress on your project.

## Case Study Format (For Future Clients)
*As we complete client engagements, case studies will follow this format:*
### [Client Name / Industry]
**Challenge:** What problem they faced
**Solution:** What we built
**Results:** Quantified outcomes
**Timeline:** How fast we delivered
**Client Quote:** Their words
