People first. Good systems augment good people. I bring 30 years of IT experience to dependable technology for small businesses, executives, and complex organizations. My work spans enterprise support, cybersecurity, knowledge and records migrations, and developmental AI governance through GKOS and GKOS-Engine. I am also conducting independent research into a specific aspect of gravitational physics.

Founder and initial editor of GKOS, a public developmental specification for accountable AI assistance: inspectable evidence, reproducible context, and clear decision authority that support human judgment. Independent validation and full conformance qualification remain ahead.

  • Edition v0.82.1 (25 September 2026): 62 permanent requirements and 28 gate codes.
  • Machine-readable schemas and an adapter-neutral conformance runner, run in CI on Linux and Windows.
  • Context replay and a mutation corpus covering all 28 gate codes, at mechanism level.

Agentic AI Developer and Systems Architect

Independent · 2025 – Present

  • Founded and edit GKOS, a public AI governance specification that turns provenance, context, authority, review and authorized agent use into testable contracts and machine-readable records. The v0.82.1 edition (25 September 2026) has 62 permanent requirements and 28 gate codes.
  • Directed the schemas and assurance tooling: deterministic context replay, fail-closed validation, and a mutation-test corpus covering all 28 gate codes, run in CI on Linux and Windows. Releases state their coverage and conformance limits.

Founder, President and CTO

Florida Armored Combat Inc. · 2023 – Present

  • Founded Florida Armored Combat Inc. as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and leads the organization as President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Projects

Each project states what exists now, what has been checked and what has not. Evidence links open an inspector beside the project.

Project 01 Developmental specification

GKOS: AI governance specification and assurance engineering

Founder and initial editor. Independent project. Not affiliated with a standards body or an employer. github.com/Odenknight/gkos-standard

  • AI governance
  • provenance
  • deterministic validation
  • agent authorization
  • context replay
  • assurance engineering

Status: Public developmental specification; executable mechanism-level checks available. Complete profile qualification and independent interoperability validation remain outstanding.

Problem
When an AI system recommends or takes an action, ordinary logs show that a call happened. They rarely show which evidence it used, what context it saw, who had authority to approve it, or how the result can be challenged and replayed.
My part
I drafted the specification (with AI drafting assistance) and lead its design: provenance, deterministic validation, reproducible context, bounded delegation and records of decisions and actions. I direct the schemas, fixtures and conformance runner and approve each published edition.
Exists now
Published edition v0.82.1 (25 September 2026) with 62 permanent requirements and 28 gate codes, JSON schemas, a requirements registry, and an adapter-neutral conformance runner. CI runs the runner on Linux and Windows with Node 22 and 24.
Results
Mechanism-level checks pass, including a clean-process context replay and a mutation corpus that covers all 28 gate codes. The executable suite covers only part of the profile catalogue, so no conformance profile is qualified yet.
Limits
No qualified profile, no public second implementation, and no independent interoperability validation. Proposed NIST, ISO and EU AI Act mappings are informative drafts under review, not established alignment.

Supports GKOS exists and is public; README states status, release coordinate, requirement and gate-code counts, and qualification limits.

Public artifact: anyone can open it. Being public does not mean a third party has verified the claim.

Project 02 Open-source releases

GKOS-Engine and Kosmos-Oden: governed knowledge tooling

Product owner and lead developer (agent-assisted implementation). Independent open-source projects (Apache-2.0). github.com/Odenknight/GKOS-Engine

  • MCP
  • knowledge graph
  • deterministic retrieval
  • read-only agent access

Status: GKOS-Engine release 2.1.1 (18 August 2026); 2.2.0 on main pending release qualification. Kosmos-Oden release 0.8.2 (9 September 2026).

Problem
Agents and people need to search and reason over a Markdown knowledge base without a tool silently changing source files or exposing restricted notes.
My part
I set the requirements and design, review the changes, run the qualification checks and decide releases. AI coding agents write much of the code under that review.
Exists now
A TypeScript library and CLI that parses and validates GKX records, builds canonical graphs, indexes and retrieves notes, and serves ten credential-bound, read-only MCP tools on a local port. Kosmos-Oden uses it to draw a vault as an explorable 3D map in Obsidian or a standalone viewer.
Results
Release-status records show CI and Linux and Windows runtime qualification passing for the recorded main baseline. Writes to source notes remain unavailable unless a host explicitly configures and authorizes them.
Limits
No published usage or adoption figures. The npm package lags the current source (2.0.1). Implementation independence from GKOS has not been demonstrated.

Project 03 Completed internal migration

Team knowledge base migration: OneNote to Markdown to Confluence

Did the export, migration and analysis. Work for Walt Disney World Enterprise Technology.

  • information governance
  • records migration
  • knowledge management

Status: Export complete and shared with the team; Confluence import approximately 95% successful; limitations documented.

Problem
A team's knowledge lived in a OneNote environment that was hard to search, move or preserve with its attachments and history.
My part
I exported the full environment to Markdown with attachments intact, shared the export and approach, ran the Confluence import from a copy, and wrote up the limitations.
Exists now
A complete Markdown export, a Confluence space built from it, and an experimental map of which notes supersede others.
Results
About 95% of the import succeeded (my estimate; the denominator is not published). The supersession map is non-deterministic and is used only to help people review search results.
Limits
Internal work: no public artifact. The import rate is self-reported.

Evidence Self-reported
