Cody Kickertz

Systems engineer building self-sovereign infrastructure in Rust. Systems that think, sense, and communicate without depending on anything not required to be a dependency.

Eight projects, one naming philosophy, one development methodology.


Projects

Aletheia — cognitive runtime

ἀλήθεια: unconcealment

Multi-agent AI system with persistent memory. Agents run as Tokio actors with character, workspace, and a knowledge graph that grows with every conversation. Embedded Datalog+HNSW engine, fjall LSM storage, local embeddings via candle. Dioxus desktop app. One binary, no external databases, no cloud dependencies beyond an LLM API key. Encrypted at rest, sandboxed at the kernel level.

Rust AGPL-3.0

Dioptron — sovereign web runtime

δίοπτρον: the instrument through which one sees

Sovereign web runtime with agent co-tenancy. Local web substrate where operator and AI agents are peer users of the same capability surface — browsing, ingesting, querying, and acting on the web through a unified programmatic interface. Three-band architecture (engine, instrument, operations) with a cross-cutting tenancy plane. Full active observation, defense, and offense capability. Specification phase.

Rust AGPL-3.0

Harmonia — media platform

ἁρμονία: the joining together of disparate things

Replaces a dozen-tool media management stack (Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, qBittorrent, Overseerr, etc.) with one Rust backend handling discovery, download, organization, and serving for all media types. Bit-perfect audio engine with QUIC multi-room sync. Canonical storage layout with smart path sanitization and TOML sidecar metadata.

Rust AGPL-3.0

Akroasis — signals intelligence

ἀκρόασις: attentive reception

RF intelligence, mesh networking, and communications sovereignty. 17 crates across 10 domains (radio, SDR, mesh, proximity, network defense, OSINT) unified under a single typed signal model. Standalone Meshtastic stack, SDR pipeline for RTL-SDR and HackRF, CHIRP-compatible radio programming. Grid-down capable. Lethe (λήθη: concealment) handles VPN, OPSEC scoring, and IMSI catcher detection — same root as Aletheia, opposite direction.

Rust AGPL-3.0

Thumos — sovereign mobile OS

θυμός: spirited part of the soul

Full Rust from kernel to UI, built for the AGM M7 rugged keypad phone. Custom monolithic kernel, 13 userspace crates covering phone, UI, encryption, packet filtering, Signal protocol, and GPS. Hardware kill switches for radios, sensors, and USB data. Motivated by a surveillance audit that found seven threat vectors across three nation-states in the stock firmware.

Rust PolyForm Shield 1.0.0

Hamma — mesh networking

ἅμμα: a knot, a tie, a fastening

Clean-room Rust implementation of a Tailscale-compatible mesh networking stack. The dictyon client speaks wire-compatible Noise control protocol to join existing tailnets and establishes WireGuard peer sessions via boringtun. A future histos coordination server replaces tailscale.com/Headscale for operators who want full sovereignty, with hardware-key-signed admin operations via FIDO2. Pre-alpha.

Rust AGPL-3.0

Kanon — standards and automation

κανών: the measuring rod

Development standards toolkit and agentic dispatch system. Private repository.

The canonical source for coding standards, prompt management, and workflow automation across all forkwright projects. 39 standards documents. Automated lint engine with 800+ rules. Privacy audit, health dashboard, steward auto-close. Agentic dispatch to parallel Claude and Kimi sessions with QA gates. Local inference on W7900 via llama-server. Every dispatch generates training data for local model fine-tuning.

Rust AGPL-3.0

Gnomon — sovereign cognitive architecture

γνώμων: that which reveals by indicating

The engineering instantiation of the thesis from The Coherence of Aporia: intelligence emerges from topology, not node complexity. Decomposes a teacher model into a routing topology over shared frozen primitives, then runs thousands of lightweight Adaptive Compute Units (ACUs) in a three-layer small-world network — Herd (3,000 ACUs on CPU) → Dianoia (12 instances on GPU) → Nous (1 instance on GPU) — with the human operator as the meta-layer. Specification phase. Private repository.

Rust Python AGPL-3.0


How it gets built

Closed-loop agentic development. Structured prompts as units of work, dispatched to parallel agent sessions. Automated QA gates validate output against kanon standards. Corrective loops fix their own failures. The compiler and lint engine are the quality floor. A dedicated agent reviews every commit before merge. Strategic direction is built in coordination with an infrastructure agent, then the system executes it.
