PATENT PENDING

The observation layer for agentic AI. A patent-pending instrument that attributes why a non-deterministic system's output drifted, and who caused it.

Holonograph is Brian's flagship invention: a patent-pending observability instrument for agentic AI, from Precision Innovations LLC. It is a signed, self-hosted binary that sits between an agent and the language models it calls and records every exchange, with no code added to the system it observes. Its first job is attribution. When a non-deterministic system's output drifts, Holonograph splits the change into four mutually exclusive sources: substrate drift (what the operator changed), light-source drift (what the vendor changed, including silent model reroutes), lens drift, and stochastic noise. The core idea is the Lens Architecture. The evaluation apparatus (fixtures, baselines, and LLM-as-judge) is non-deterministic and drifts too, so Holonograph versions the lens and freezes it within each version. Apparatus drift becomes a measured quantity instead of a hidden confounder.

The rest builds on attribution. Facet decomposition resolves drift to a specific evaluated dimension instead of one holistic score. Holonograph detects when a judge has saturated and stopped discriminating, and de-saturates it. It treats reflection as a validated capability: a judge's critique goes back into the loop only where that judge is certified as grounded. The larger aim is governance of what a system did and of which decisions it has the authority to make. Because it observes by position rather than instrumentation, it runs where server-based tools can't: on local hardware, in regulated environments, behind an air gap.

Holonograph is owned and developed solely by Precision Innovations LLC, which Brian founded and owns. It is separate from Squint Metrics and Brian's other ventures, none of which built, funded, or incubated it.

Nails Now

Head of Product · Founding Partner

LIVE

Reinventing the salon experience with 24/7 scheduling and smart rewards.

Nails Now is a mobile-first platform connecting customers with local nail salons: 24/7 booking with specific technicians, real-time appointment management, and checkout with integrated tipping. It replaces phone calls and walk-ins with a full marketplace, including salon check-in, a POS, and deals and promotions.

Squint Metrics

Managing Director

SERVICES · INCUBATOR

Strategic software development and technology partner.

Squint Metrics is a boutique development shop and startup incubator building custom enterprise software for emerging and regulated markets. Flagship products include Zorro, an email automation platform for regulated markets, and a Patient Reported Outcomes data collection platform used in rare-disease patient support and clinical trial exploratory endpoints. Squint also incubates several technology startups.

Rupert

Agentic Swarm · Personal AI System

LIVE

The chat on this site is one agent in a swarm Brian runs his work and home life on. Every model call goes through one Holonograph lens.

Rupert is a swarm of agents Brian built for his own operations. RupertPR runs the chat on this site. RupertPM handles professional work: the inbox, the work calendar, analytics reports, and other account services. RupertLife handles the personal side: the calendar and the day-to-day. Otto is his son's agent, a productivity and phase-transition agent for an absent-minded 9-year-old.

The Exchange routes signals between the agents and decides which ones reach Brian's phone. Each agent calls its models through the Holonograph lens under its own token. The lens records every call and attributes drift to its source.

This site is the public part of the system. The architecture page shows the rest.

BUILDING

Record something after it happens. Catch That keeps the last 10 seconds of audio; tap the button to save it.

Catch That keeps a continuous buffer of the last 10 seconds of audio from a high-quality mic. Tap the button and the clip goes to your phone over Bluetooth.

Built on ESP-32, C++, and Android Kotlin. The prototype is ready for optimization. The GitHub repo is private.

The arc, not the resume.

  1. Digital Foundations

    2008–2012

    Turned web development into UX architecture, building digital products before product management was a formal discipline. Agency and enterprise work set the foundation.

  2. Enterprise Product

    2012–2016

    Moved into product management at scale, shipping features used by hundreds of thousands of people across healthcare, commerce, and mobile payments.

  3. Squint Metrics

    2016–2022

    Joined Squint Metrics and grew into the Managing Director role as the company expanded across healthcare and enterprise. Squint became, and remains, the incubator for Nails Now and Zorro. Much of this period went to Patient Reported Outcomes apps: 8+ clinical PRO tools across urology, neurology, and rare disease, work that continues today.

  4. Venture Builder

    2022–2025

    With Squint as the operational base, built two companies in parallel: Nails Now for salon booking, and Zorro for compliant email automation in regulated industries. Running all three meant building systems that grow without adding headcount.

  5. AI-First Builder

    2025+

    Founded Precision Innovations, the company behind Holonograph, and moved fully into agentic AI. Built Aurachive, a family memory repository, and Rupert, a personal multi-agent system, each in a matter of weeks. Current focus: multi-agent architectures, autonomous workflows, and the instruments that govern them.
