Experience behind MiRuntime
The site is informed by long-term enterprise delivery rather than model-only experimentation. The focus is practical: preserve business behavior, make authority explicit, design for recovery, and leave evidence that technical and non-technical reviewers can inspect.
Enterprise software delivery spanning architecture, legacy modernization, data-intensive systems, typed web applications, technical leadership, and human-reviewed AI-assisted engineering.
20+ yearsEnterprise architecture and modernization
Business-critical .NET and SQL Server systems, service boundaries, legacy migration, behavioral parity, and maintainable data workflows.
AI-assisted and runtime-oriented engineering
Prompt contracts, semantic search, local model workflows, MCP, memory handoff, source review, and explicit human approval boundaries.
Typed front-end delivery
TypeScript, Angular, RxJS, responsive interfaces, API contracts, and accessibility-aware implementation for long-lived applications.
Technical leadership
Architecture review, mentoring, unit and integration testing, CI/CD, code review, and practical modernization planning.
What to discuss
MIR architecture
Runtime boundaries, control-plane and runtime-plane separation, tool authority, lifecycle state, recovery, and evidence.
Software engineering
Enterprise modernization, .NET and SQL Server architecture, TypeScript and Angular delivery, testing, and maintainable system seams.
Research and review
Source corrections, report feedback, runtime-intelligence research, terminology, protocols, benchmarks, and open questions.
Collaboration
Technical writing, architecture workshops, implementation reviews, developer guidance, and governance-oriented system design.
A useful first message
- Describe the objective, users, and current system boundary.
- Name the models, tools, data, authority, and principal risks.
- Identify the decision, artifact, or review outcome you need.
- Include timing and whether the request is exploratory, advisory, or implementation-focused.
