I'm J Wylie, founder of Engindearing. I build software across a wide stack — Rust systems, TypeScript product surfaces, Kotlin/Swift mobile, Python data tooling, and embedded/RF hardware — with a bias toward shipping things that help people who can't easily help themselves: emergency responders, families in crisis, and the agents and operators trying to support them.
A few things I'm known for:
- Autonomous AI systems — persistent agents with their own memory, training pipelines, and 24/7 task loops
- Open-source TAK tools — bridging official tak.gov software with the OSS community for SAR, emergency response, and tactical ops
- Humanitarian software — tools that surface trafficking patterns, find missing people, and harden the vulnerable
- Full-stack product work — landing pages to payment pipelines to mobile clients, end-to-end
