About
Josh Stevenson
Rust-focused systems engineer building local-first evidence, memory, and operator-control runtimes.
I'm Josh, a systems engineer focused on Rust-first local runtimes, evidence-aware memory, verification boundaries, and operator-control software that can explain what it did.
This site is the public surface for RecursiveIntell: Recall, Gloss, Palisade, VisionForge, Sortarr, projmind, the Rust Libraries workspace, and ClaimLedger.
My approach: keep authority explicit, make material operations receipt-backed, separate canonical crates from satellite utilities, and avoid public claims the code cannot support.

Operating Principles
- Keep authority explicit — Apps, daemons, CLIs, and compilers need clear write boundaries.
- Make claims reviewable — Evidence, support, contradiction, and quarantine state should be visible artifacts.
- Prefer local-first control — User data, models, and system operations should stay local unless deliberately exported.
- Separate support tiers — Canonical crates, satellite utilities, and research prototypes should not make the same claims.
Let's Build Something
I'm currently available for full-time roles, contract work, and interesting AI projects. If you're building something ambitious, let's talk.
