Pete-Builds

I build tools that let AI agents safely work with real systems through dry-run previews, human approvals, and verifiable audit trails.

I work on AI tooling for higher education. Outside of work, I use Claude Code to build and maintain open-source projects.

I define the requirements, guardrails, and tests. Claude writes much of the implementation. My focus is making sure the result is safe, reliable, and ready for production.
