# About Josiah Wilson

> Agent-facing counterpart to the [human About page](/about/).

## Positioning

Builder first. Medium second. I follow questions across software, science,
hardware, data, and business when the problem asks for it.

## How I work

Most projects begin with a concrete frustration or an unanswered question. I
try to make the problem observable, build a working artifact, and preserve
enough evidence to distinguish what was intended from what actually happened.

## AI-assisted, explicitly

AI agents are often part of the implementation team. Each case study separates
the direction, decisions, and review I owned from code, documentation, or
analysis materially produced with AI assistance.

## Why a compendium

A highlight reel hides too much. The Compendium also keeps paused projects,
failed assumptions, limits, and lessons because those are part of the
engineering record.

## Public contact

I am open to paid work, employment opportunities, collaborations, and
thoughtful ideas worth exploring. I am based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
