Hi, I'm Andrew Charneski 👋

Tools & Platform Engineer · AI Architect · Independent Researcher

AI that works like software, not chat — backed by 20 years of shipping production systems.

I build code that builds code — frameworks, DSLs, optimizers, agentic pipelines, static analyzers, and FFI bindings — in typed ecosystems (Kotlin/Java, Scala, Rust, TypeScript), where type discipline makes tooling safer and faster to build. I treat AI as disciplined engineering leverage, directed by human judgment the way a profiler or debugger is.

Everything I claim is independently verifiable: public code, a published DOI, live hosted products, and 57k+ downloads — no vouching required.


🚀 Featured Work

Project What it is
Cognotik AI productivity platform — hosted SaaS + open-source local-first app. AWS ECS/Fargate, Terraform, OAuth, Stripe billing. 8+ model providers, agentic workflows, ~95% AI-generated with human review.
QQN Optimizer Novel Quadratic Quasi-Newton optimizer — formal convergence proofs, 72.6% benchmark win rate. Rust framework + production JAX/Optax port.
Mathematical Explorations Original interactive in-browser math research labs & essays. Zero build step, deployed via Terraform.
Arcade of Life Zero-dependency PWA — arcade games on Conway's Game of Life + 50 CA rulesets, CPU/WebGL2 backend, hashlife.
MindsEye Deep learning framework built from scratch in Java with custom CUDA/CuDNN — before TensorFlow's first release.
