Experience

Software Engineer — Independent Consultant

Richard Nickerson Consulting, LLC

  • Human-in-the-loop, Agentic SDLC workflows: I direct a team of AI junior engineers under Requirements-Driven Development—I own and deliver.
  • Built and maintain BurnRate, a production software product—applying that gated workflow to requirements review, architectural mapping, refactoring, and automated testing.
  • Hardened the delivery pipeline against modern AI-assisted supply-chain and social-engineering attacks—dependency isolation from deploy secrets, commit-pinned CI/CD actions, and least-privilege tokens.
  • Independent projects through the Founding Federation program at theMultiverse.school:
