Engineering Leadership. Hands-On Engineering at Scale. Cloud Infrastructure Modernized. Autonomous Systems Delivered.
What I build
Engineering-first work across AI governance, GitOps infrastructure, and applied machine learning.
GitHub stats from github.com/mikehenken, refreshed 2026-08-06.
Selected work
Agentable, embedacode, and the resume-tailor agent skill: an embeddable AI canvas, in-article code trees, and role-specific resume output.
Embeddable AI canvas with voice transport (Gemini Live), draggable workspace panels, and a Lit web component shell. Drop one tag into any page for chat, career panels, and agent-driven UI.
Lit web component that embeds a read-only multi-file code tree in technical writing. Prism highlighting plus optional GitHub fetches so readers stay next to the narrative.
Agent skill for Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenCode that tailors a JSON Resume profile to a role and exports ATS-ready PDFs.
My Assistant
It has my projects, writing, expertise areas, and GitHub activity loaded. Ask it what I have built, or have it draft me a note.

Common questions about engineering focus, agentic AI, and discovery files.
Hands-on platform and AI systems engineering: agent orchestration, DevOps and GitOps, cloud infrastructure, evaluation pipelines, and the security controls behind production LLM deployments. I have led teams from intern through senior level and still write code daily.
Yes. Production work spans LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, CopilotKit, and MCP servers, with mixed deterministic orchestrations where structure matters. I focus on guardrails, evaluation, and measurable outcomes rather than demo-only agents.
Yes. HIPAA-compliant systems and HL7 processing at Testimonial Tree, pharmaceutical supply chain data at ValueCentric, and current AI governance and security work for solar, finance, travel and resorts, and government customers at ITRADE.
Public discovery files live at /llms.txt, /.well-known/ai, and /openapi.yaml on this domain. My Assistant API is at agent.mikehenken.com (health, config, knowledge search). See /api/docs/ for a full index. Technical agents can also review the writing section for architecture articles on FSM-LLM hybrids, HITM reduction, and agentic design patterns.
If you need hands-on engineering for AI governance, GitOps, or regulated production pipelines, I am open to remote roles and selective contract work.
