CHRIS BIRKEINDEPENDENT ENGINEER / PROTOTYPER
SYSTEMS FOR MESSY REALITY.

Agentic AI, realtime systems, sensing, simulation, and product prototypes built while the brief is still moving.

Former Microsoft / startup CTO-founder / technical lead / 20+ years shipping strange things.

01 / LIVE APPLICATION

Vintage
Resale

AI-native operations for independent retail. Inventory, sales, traffic, reporting, listings, and scoped actions share one deterministic core.

02 / LIVE APPLICATION

Design
Dreamer

Spatial composition as a prompt. Blueprint, dollhouse, camera, written direction, and style references converge into generative interior studies.

03 / LOCAL AGENT INFRASTRUCTURE

Οὐροβόρος

Local development harness. Persistent agent identity, memory, authority, approvals, telemetry, and provenance. Provider sessions are replaceable; durable agency is not.

BROWSER SIMULATION / REAL LOG REPLAY
04 / LIVE SITE

Ecological
Archive

Provide ecological data to benefit life. High-resolution environmental observations preserved with provenance, spatial context, public archival access, and Indigenous oversight.

05 / BROWSER SENSOR WORKSPACE

July

Uses variable attention to decide which devices to sample, when to sample them, and at what level of detail.

06 / LIVE APPLICATION

Salticid

A browser physics and motion lab for an articulated jumping spider. Gait, orientation, turning, and jumping emerge from joints, contacts, motors, control, curriculum, and reward.
