Built for AWS's Agents for Humans hackathon (Good Neighbor Agents track), the challenge was to design an AI agent that reduces real operational burden for a nonprofit rather than just automating a demo task.
I build a program operations agent for Macknificient World (my nonprofit) using the Strands Agents SDK, focused on two concrete workflows: grant deadline tracking and lesson planning. The agent handles the repetitive admin work and only surfaces items that genuinely need a human decision.
Outcome: A working, publicly-documented agent (open-source repo, architecture diagram, full demo walkthrough) that gives a small nonprofit meaningful admin relief without adding oversight burden.
HYDRUM VEIL is a skincare brand built around a premium SPF 50+ sunscreen, developed as a complete brand identity, packaging design, and seasonal advertising campaign.
The project explores a question most seasonal beauty work gets wrong: how do you make a limited-edition campaign feel festive without making it feel cheap?
Instead of stacking decorative props, the campaign holds a strict visual system - vivid pumpkin orange, deep twilight violet, warm cream, and restrained black and lets a single product carry every frame.
I’ve been razzmatazzing and flibbertigibbeting with Claude Code and somehow ended up with a new yels.dev.
It finally feels like me: simple on the surface, slightly complicated underneath, and very much alive.
You can see who I am, what I do, the work behind Herodot, RaptorLabs, CyberLink Security and Solmint, plus a selection of projects I’ve built across AI, cybersecurity, Web3, product systems, education, archives, and experimental digital spaces.
The simple-on-the-surface, layered-underneath idea comes through so clearly in the presentation. I especially like how the project archive turns the site into something to explore rather than just a résumé of links.
