Kieren Hussey

Technology Developer — Ontario, Canada

Exploring the space between software, AI, and the physical world. Building things, understanding how they work, and learning along the way.

Current focus: A robotic arm. A new set of challenges.

My current project is a robotic arm — a place to bring software, mechanical design, and electronics together.

AI & tools

An evolving focus on LLMs and the systems around them: agents, harnesses, and connections to real tools.

  • LLMs: Language models, context, and the interface between an idea and a useful result.
  • Agents: Tool use, planning, and multi-step workflows that move a task forward.
  • Harnesses: The instructions, tools, and feedback around an agent’s work.
  • MCP: Model Context Protocol: connecting AI applications to tools and context.

Specific tools and build notes coming soon.
