Over 25+ years I've worn a lot of hats (enterprise architect, solutions lead, co-founder, Chief Learning Officer, DevRel), and the thread through all of it is the same: take something genuinely complex, architect it, and get it into production.\n\nWhat's different now is the leverage. AI-accelerated workflows mean I take projects from whiteboard to shipped, production-grade code *solo* — at a pace that used to require a full delivery team, without the team's cost or coordination overhead. The repos below aren't toys or tutorials; they're working, self-hosted, full-stack systems I designed and built end to end.\n\n---\n\n## 💼 Available for work\n\nI'm taking on **contract and fractional Solutions Architect** engagements. The sweet spot is teams who need senior architecture judgment *and* someone who'll actually build the thing, fast:\n\n- 🏛️ **Architecture \u0026 technical strategy** — system design, API design, self-hosted and cloud infrastructure\n- ⚡ **AI-accelerated delivery** — rapid prototypes, MVPs, and production builds, solo or alongside your team\n- 🔌 **AI/LLM integration** — MCP tooling, grounded answer engines, AI-assisted workflows\n- 🧱 **Full-stack product development** — React/Next.js · FastAPI/Node · Docker · self-hosting\n\n📫 **kbennett2000 [at] gmail.com** · [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kbennett2000/) · 📍 Elizabeth, Colorado\n\n---\n\n## 📚 Track record\n\n- 🏛️ Co-founded [Blockchain Training Alliance](https://blockchaintrainingalliance.com/) and led it to a successful **exit in 2021**\n- 🎓 **150,000+** learners trained globally through certification programs I designed\n- 🏢 Built education programs and Centers of Excellence with **Deloitte, Air France, and the USPTO**\n- 🟦 Developer Relations on [IOG's](https://www.iog.io/) **Ouroboros Leios** next-gen consensus algorithm (Cardano)\n- ⚙️ Architected JavaScript smart contracts and dApps at [Agoric](https://agoric.com/)\n- 🗓️ **25+ years** turning whiteboards into shipped systems\n\n---\n\n## 🛠️ What I'm doing now\n\n- 🧱 **Independent practice** — architecting and shipping production systems for clients, solo and AI-accelerated\n- ⚙️ **Open-source systems** — turning weird ideas into hardware + full-stack apps, in public\n- 🔌 **AI/LLM tooling** — MCP connectors and grounded-retrieval patterns that make AI useful on private data\n\n## 🌟 Flagship: the Concord ecosystem\n\nA coherent, multi-component system I designed and built end to end — **engine, reference app, AI connector, and curriculum** — as one architecture rather than a pile of scripts. It happens to serve Scripture; the point is the system design.\n\n- ⚙️ **[Concord](https://github.com/kbennett2000/concord)** — a LAN-first, fully offline\n  REST API: 13 aligned datasets, semantic (\"verses about anxiety\") search, and geography\n  that stays honest about what it can't locate. Published image, offline at runtime.\n- 📖 **[songbird](https://github.com/kbennett2000/songbird)** — the reference app on\n  Concord's `/v1`: multi-user FastAPI/React/Docker, read · annotate · cross-link · map.\n- 🔌 **[concord-mcp](https://github.com/kbennett2000/concord-mcp)** — an MCP connector\n  that lets Claude (and any MCP client) pull data straight from your own instance instead\n  of guessing. Looked up, never made up.\n- 🎓 **[concord-tutorial-web](https://github.com/kbennett2000/concord-tutorial-web)** →\n  **[react](https://github.com/kbennett2000/concord-tutorial-react)** →\n  **[ai](https://github.com/kbennett2000/concord-tutorial-ai)** — a three-course ladder\n  from \"what's an API?\" to reading the source to teaching an AI to ground its answers.\n\n*Architect the whole system, then teach people to build on it — the whole loop, in public.*\n\n## 📌 Selected projects\n\n| Project | Architecture \u0026 stack |\n| --- | --- |\n| 🎮 [**lan-games**](https://github.com/kbennett2000/lan-games) | Real-time multiplayer game platform — 8 turn-based games in the browser, live multiplayer over Node.js + Socket.io.
