What I've built

A private second brain, a self-querying knowledge graph, a command center, the automation that ties it together, and a public front door that turns conversations into leads. Mapped end to end.

The whole system
Six layers, top to bottom

Private data stays on the machine. The shareable Brain vault sits on top of it, a knowledge graph makes it queryable, local models do the private heavy-lifting, the Command Center runs the day, and remote access reaches it all from anywhere.

A different axis
Plus: the public front door

The six layers above are the private, local stack. This one faces outward: the part of the system that's live in the world and earning its keep.

An "Ask Connor" chatbot that talks to visitors, researches their company live, scores the conversation, and drops a qualified lead into the pipeline.

A pointed application
Plus: a purpose-built console

Separate from the personal stack: the same file-based, transparent-scoring patterns aimed at one job, a Partner Success console for a brokerage's accounts.

๐Ÿ—‚ Account OS

Every account is a structured file system (success plan, stakeholders, decisions, health). A transparent engine scores each one Healthy, At Risk, or Critical in context, then surfaces the one play that moves it.

The rule that makes it safe
The privacy boundary

The single line that lets the whole vault be pushed to GitHub without worry: raw personal data never leaves the machine, and only a scrubbed, human-reviewed summary ever crosses into Brain.

Brain / Context
thin, generic derivative

Finances and Relationships never cross. Ever. Health stays raw in the Journal; only a thin overview reaches Brain.

Under the hood
Two graphs, two schedulers

๐Ÿ•ธ Knowledge graphs

Same tool (graphify), two independent corpora, exposed to Claude as read-only MCP servers.

โฑ Automation

Two schedulers on purpose: macOS launchd for OS jobs, Claude's own scheduler for skill runs.
