Washington state agencies face a WCAG compliance mandate with legacy systems and constrained teams. Here's a repeatable AI-driven process that makes the scope visible and the path forward clear.
Your AI agent's context window is a finite resource that degrades before it fills up. Here's what I learned about managing it over 194 sessions and a legacy .NET migration.
How I contributed a real fix to a Go project I use daily—without writing a single line of Go myself.
Meet Me
NotMyself.IO
I'm a Senior Agentic Engineer with 25+ years of software experience. I design systems where AI agents execute real engineering work autonomously—not prompting a chatbot, but orchestrating parallel agents through dependency-ordered workflows with built-in quality gates.
In a recent 43-day sprint: 540 sessions, 943 commits, 256K+ lines shipped. Features go from plan to tested, committed code with an 85% fully-achieved rate—and improving every day through self-learning systems that encode mistakes into rules and patterns into reusable skills.

About My Work
I specialize in legacy systems that have grown organically for years—minimal documentation, tribal knowledge, the projects others avoid. AI-augmented engineering isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's how small teams deliver at scale.
My parallel agent orchestration runs 4-6 autonomous agents simultaneously, each with structural guardrails and quality gates. The knowledge compounds—every friction point becomes a rule, every pattern becomes a reusable skill. Nothing walks out the door.

Services
Specialized services designed for the unique challenges of government legacy system modernization.
End-to-end modernization at scale. 943 commits and 256K+ lines in 43 days—untangling years of organic growth and systematically migrating to modern architectures through dependency-ordered workflows.
4-6 parallel autonomous agents executing real engineering work with built-in quality gates. 85% fully-achieved rate on complex multi-task deliveries—and improving daily through self-learning systems.
Systematic knowledge extraction: 4,189 file reads, 3,153 documents generated. Tribal knowledge captured, encoded, and retained—so it compounds instead of walking out the door.
Leveraging 8 years of experience at Auth0 in customer identity and access management. I architect solutions using industry-standard protocols like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect to ensure robust security from the ground up.

My Process
A systematic approach to legacy modernization that combines AI efficiency with human expertise at every critical decision point.
AI agents systematically analyze your entire codebase—4,189+ file reads mapping dependencies, identifying undocumented features, and extracting tribal knowledge before a single line is rewritten.
Agents generate comprehensive documentation automatically—3,153 markdown files, API specs, data flow diagrams. Years of organic growth captured in weeks, not months.
4-6 parallel agents execute through dependency-ordered workflows with quality gates at every step. 85% fully-achieved rate on complex deliveries—human engineers focus on architecture decisions.
943 commits across incremental phases—old and new systems running in parallel. Each phase tested and validated with 161+ automated tests before proceeding.
Every friction point becomes a guardrail. Self-learning systems encode lessons in real-time—mistakes become rules, patterns become skills. Your team receives a system that gets smarter, not just documentation.
