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
