AI applications, architected end to end.

Retrieval, agents, tool-use, evals — production systems built on frontier models, not toy demos.

Selected work

Six systems I architected and shipped.

Not slideware — production AI systems designed end-to-end: the model strategy, the agent architecture, the data pipeline. Proof that the roadmaps I draw get built and shipped.

Cast — multi-objective optimizer

Cast

Neurosymbolic modeling environment

Write models in plain, English-like syntax and instantly get interactive, comparable scenarios — forecasts, optimization, and automatic equation discovery from your data. A spreadsheet crossed with a proof engine.

  • Neurosymbolic solver: an LLM turns intent into a formal model, then a rigorous engine finds provably-optimal decisions.
  • One codebase ships as both a collaborative web app and a native offline desktop app.
  • Automatic symbolic regression discovers candidate equations and ranks them by fit.

Skaffen — agent architecture

Skaffen

Voice agent for the browser

A Chrome side-panel agent you talk to. It reads the active page, performs deterministic actions, saves successful workflows as reusable recipes, and replays them on demand or on a schedule — RPA without the enterprise weight.

  • Deterministic action spine: every step carries pre/post-condition contracts and resumes from the exact point of failure.
  • Adaptive model routing beat Opus on a hard benchmark at a fraction of the cost.
  • Self-repairing recipes survive UI changes by relocating moved controls and re-validating intent.

Enact

A firewall for AI agents

A deterministic policy engine that sits between AI coding agents and dangerous operations — blocking risky shell commands and file actions before they run, with signed, tamper-proof receipts. Published as an open framework and SDK.

  • 39 paired chaos tests: zero incidents with Enact vs. 8 critical failures without it.
  • Every block maps 1:1 to a documented real-world agent disaster.
  • Non-repudiable HMAC-signed receipts — an agent can't claim it ran what was blocked.

Baryo — unified inbox showing follow-ups, drafts to resume, and HubSpot deals

Baryo

AI workspace for inbox & deals

An AI workspace that ends the tab-juggling between ChatGPT, Docs, and email. It unifies Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and CRM, learns your writing style from sent mail, researches prospects, and drops ready-to-send drafts straight into Gmail.

  • Multi-agent research: a conductor decomposes a query into parallel tasks and triangulates sources.
  • Style personalization drafts replies that sound like you, not a robot.
  • Unified inbox ties drafts to live HubSpot deal status and calendar context.

FileBrain

A local memory layer for your AI

A local-first knowledge engine that watches your files, web pages, AI chats, Drive, and Gmail, then injects cited facts straight into Claude.ai and ChatGPT — so the AI already knows your stuff. Runs entirely on your machine, no cloud required.

  • One ingest spine unifies local folders, web, chats, Drive, and Gmail into typed facts.
  • Hybrid search: BM25 + local vectors + a knowledge graph for exact and relationship-aware recall.
  • Chrome extension and MCP server feed grounded, cited context into your AI tools.

Claude Discipline

Governance & reliability for AI agents

An operating system for AI coding agents: deterministic guardrails that block the wrong move before it lands, plus a memory layer that forces lessons to be written down so the same mistake can't recur. Turns advice the agent ignores into rules it can't skip.

  • Guardrails enforce engineering judgment — TDD-first, root-cause, no silent fallbacks — deterministically, not the ~80% compliance of written advice.
  • A compounding memory loop: every real mistake forces a logged lesson, auto-injected next session, so it can't happen twice.
  • Session continuity lets a fresh — or cheaper — agent resume without re-deriving state.

Marketing & GTM

Positioning and launches that moved pipeline.

Built and led marketing functions from zero, not just individual campaigns. Research, positioning, enablement, and press, each tied to a number.

Research & positioning

Rebuilt Axial's buyer personas from direct customer analysis. The CEO revised the company's ideal customer profile off that work — a 7% increase in core-ICP growth followed.

Product launch

Wrote the launch campaign for Axial's Business Valuation Calculator: 20%+ of owner leads, 47% YoY growth in owner lead volume.

Sales enablement

Built battle cards and objection-handling docs against Klaviyo, Iterable, and Omnisend at Ryzeo — a 15% win-rate improvement.

Analyst & press

Secured USA Today coverage and Gartner engagement through direct pitching, plus conference speaking slots.

Teams built and led

Not a solo-contributor track record
Axial · 2024–2025

Team of 9

Content marketing, marketing ops, design and development agencies, and a dedicated engineer, as Director of Growth & Product Marketing.

Axial

Published research on AI tool adoption in the M&A developer community, a 74% adoption rate, then built and documented the system that research pointed to.

About

Operator, architect, investor.

I'm Russell Miller — an AI builder and operating leader with 20 years using machine learning to transform software and data platforms. I've led product, growth, and data science at Axial, Ryzeo, RepairPal, and Texas Instruments, and architected the ML and agentic systems behind them.

I've been a SaaS COO with full P&L ownership through a successful exit, and I write the production code myself instead of handing it off. That rare mix — operator, marketer, and hands-on AI architect — is what turns a roadmap into something that ships.

Today I build AI products, lead go-to-market for AI-native teams, and explain how the systems actually work to whoever needs to know.
