SYSTEMS & INTERFACES

20+ years of ELV/ICT systems engineering across oil & gas, elections, defence, and infrastructure. The value is not in any single system — it's in the interfaces that make them work together.

The systems and interfaces shown below are not theoretical — Herbert has personally deployed them in real projects.

AI-ENABLED OPERATIONS
PROJECT 01
Trading System
Governed research-to-recommendation pipeline over trusted point-in-time data, with immutable snapshots, candidate gates, and specialist plus master-level analysis. Dashboards and alert-only monitoring are in place today; automated execution is planned after the machine-learning phase is complete.
PROJECT 02
PRS / PDS
Defines plan generation and review, gated delivery execution, scope lock, evidence capture, handovers and closure. The current delivery plan has completed plan review but is not yet fully consolidated or owner-approved.
PROJECT 03
Directed Memory Retrieval System
Implements an offline, progressive, metadata-only retrieval controller with 24-hour, 3-day and 7-day expansion, conflict checks, context ceilings and abstention or escalation. Offline tests passed; live retrieval remains gated.
PROJECT 04
SEO / SGO
Research, technical SEO, content and SGO, implementation and integration phases are complete. The current build reports zero schema validation errors, a 25/25 SEO audit pass, mobile-responsive rendering and a 100% pass rate on evaluation scripts.
PROJECT 05
Jev Automation
Shadow-only observational comparison with A/B/C outcome tracking and no automatic activation or delegation. Production data tables are absent and no production action has been executed.
PROJECT 06
ModelGrid & ECC
ModelGrid provides a model catalog and dashboard with advisory delegation-policy integration; it preserves agent-owned defaults and fallbacks and never auto-pushes configuration. ECC is an English communication copilot with typed contracts, deterministic instruction construction, proxy and coordinator roles, a private session, an MCP service, a Tauri desktop UI and defined fallback behaviour.
PROJECT 07
Amona Site, Sales Portal & Task Tracking
A 48-page e-commerce site with a sales and product portal and task and operations tracking. AI agents support research, build, SEO/SGO, content, validation and the daily operating workflow.
CUSTOM AGENTS OPERATIONAL
Agent-1 to Agent-4
Four purpose-built agents, each configured with its own tools, knowledge, skills and operating rules for a defined area of work.
  • Agent-1 Orchestration Custom workflow orchestration, composition of tools, skills, plugins and MCP services, and multi-channel coordination.
  • Agent-2 Engineering Engineering and project delivery — turning requirements into implementation, testing and verifiable evidence.
  • Agent-3 Automation Home and automation workflows, including smart-home routines and scheduled daily tasks.
  • Agent-4 Business Ops Business operations for e-commerce, SEO/SGO, product and customer workflows, and daily execution.
