02 · Featured research

EvoHakiki

A two-phase program on auditable, evidence-governed agent evolution.

Manuscript in preparation

Developed through v0.10.0 under the historical project name Reflective Agent.

A two-phase research program investigating how persistent agent change can be governed through evidence lineage, deterministic advisory policy, append-only human adjudication, and explicit separation between recommendation and external-action authority.

Phase I is an architecture-and-methods contribution. Longitudinal capability improvement and safety claims remain questions for Phase II.

05 · Biography

Research informed by systems that must work beyond the lab.

I am a Tanzanian-born machine learning engineer, independent researcher, and technology entrepreneur based in Atlanta. My background includes computer science and statistics, graduate study in business analytics, production machine-learning engineering, and technology delivery for institutions and communities in Africa.

My current research asks who should control the evidence and authority behind persistent agent change.
