01
Knowledge
The rules, the exceptions, and the reasons behind the work. Automation is only as good as the understanding written into it.
Three layers
One line, from an idea to a machine.
Every automation travels the same line. It starts as something a person understands, becomes steps a computer repeats, and ends in hardware that acts on the world.
02
Software
Workflows, pipelines, and services that turn that understanding into steps a computer runs the same way every time.
03
Embedded
Firmware on controllers and sensors, where software meets voltage, timing, and the physical world.
Two threads
Running through every layer.
AI and system design belong to all three layers at once. They change how knowledge is captured, how software is written, and how small devices think.
AI
AI reads, drafts, classifies, and predicts. It helps capture what experts know, write and test software, and run models at the edge on small devices.
System design
System design decides how the pieces connect: what talks to what, what fails safely, what grows, and where a person stays accountable.
Knowledge, shared
The AI Academy.
A set of books, one for each role. The book for executives and directors is open to read, with 130 chapters across 11 modules. Books for engineering managers, engineers, and architects are incoming.
