James C. Young — AreteDriver

AI Systems Engineer | 11 PyPI Packages | 7 Live Deployments | 36,000+ Tests Python · Rust · TypeScript · FastAPI · Sui Move · Full CI/CD

I spent 17 years building reliable systems in manufacturing (IBM, Toyota) — then applied that discipline to AI engineering. The result: production systems with real users, real billing, and real test coverage. Not demos. Not prototypes. Shipped software.

Engineering Philosophy

I scaled an ice cream line from 740 pints/day to 4,800/hour using Kaizen. I apply the same thinking to software: standard work, visual management, poka-yoke, jidoka. Operational reliability over algorithmic elegance. A system that ships predictably beats one that demos brilliantly.
