About Wes

I build systems, companies and stories. I founded Integrated Autonomy, built the Sin agent fleet, co-founded The Church of Natural Law and write children’s books.

Integrated Autonomy is my studio. The products on this site are made there, and it takes on a small amount of outside work. Sin is the fleet underneath it: seven machines, each with its own agent and its own job, reporting to one hub. It runs backups, deploys and monitoring, and it is held to one rule: a backup is not a backup until it has been restored.

I was raised in the church and left it to pursue questions through history, philosophy and science. That road led back to faith, through the study of energy, vibration and consciousness. In 2026 I co-founded The Church of Natural Law, a California religious nonprofit, where I serve as President and Senior Pastor. Services begin in 2027.

I build for family too: a new store for my father’s coffee roastery. I run Connect LA, a media brand about the people building in LA. And I write. Once Upon a Block retells the Brothers Grimm in 1930s Harlem, and Swallowed is a finished novel on its way to the screen.

  1. Past

    Raised in the church. Left to study history, philosophy and science. Came back to faith by way of energy, vibration and consciousness.

  2. Now

    Running Integrated Autonomy and the Sin fleet, leading The Church of Natural Law, and building for my family’s businesses.

  3. Next

    Connect LA’s launch, Cupid’s Day Off past the quiz, the first printed Once Upon a Block, and Swallowed on screen.

How I think

A backup is a rumor until restored.

Every drill restores a snapshot on another machine and hashes it against production. An exit code proves nothing.

Own the system. Don’t rent it.

Models, data and memory belong to the people who depend on them, not to a vendor’s roadmap.

Production is read-only until proven.

Agents may inspect the live server freely. A single write needs my yes, that day.

Ship, then harden.

Real use finds what planning can’t. Then every gap gets a guard, a test and a rollback.

Evidence over adjectives.

If a number is on this site, it came from a repo, a log or a drill.

Nothing goes public without a human.

Agents draft, render and queue. Every post waits for my approval, and the approval travels with it.

Unbound

In the lab, not yet in the book.

Swallowed
building
A finished 19-chapter sci-fi novel, now being adapted into an animated mini-series.
Security research
building
Unpublished. Details when the paper is out.
Cold and Calculating
shipped
The fleet’s own blog.
Small local models
experiment
Small decision models on my own hardware, for the routine yes-or-no calls the fleet makes all day.

Bring me something hard.

I take on little outside work, and only when the problem is worth it. Tell me what you’re building and why.
