Bruce Davis — AI Engineer · UX / Design Engineer

Designer who codes and engineer who designs. Fifteen years shipping systems in regulated environments — identity platforms for 16,000+ users in HIPAA-compliant healthcare, payment infrastructure for SWIFT/CHIPS/Fedwire, and Python automation for Non-Human Identity (NHI) governance at Microsoft — the same identity problem that now defines enterprise AI agent deployment. Now applying that instinct to AI products: Claude-powered workflows, MCP servers, document pipelines, and AI-native interfaces in React and TypeScript. Security, identity, and compliance as a feature, not a footnote.

Recent AI Work

Document Pipeline

Claude tools, end-to-end document processing

MCP-based set of Claude tools that handle a document end to end — extraction, PII masking / deidentification, structured JSON outputs, validation, human-in-the-loop review, and token-cost tracking. The Claude Engineer JD, end to end. MCP SDK · Node · ajv · JSON Schema · Python.

MCP Server

Custom MCP server, five Claude tools

Custom MCP server with five Claude tools for content workflow — Notion-backed idea retrieval, palette suggestion, voice-checking, page scaffolding, vault capture. Hands-on MCP server engineering and Claude API integration. @modelcontextprotocol/sdk · Notion API · Zod · Node.

AI Interface Patterns

Loading, empty, and error states for AI surfaces

Five working React/TypeScript demos for AI products — streaming output, model state, low-context warnings, confidence flags, error recovery. Loading, empty, and error states built in code — not Figma mockups.

Motion Showcase

Motion as a UX decision, not decoration

GSAP-driven motion craft — split-text entrances, scroll-driven reveals, magnetic cursor, kinetic typography. Motion as a UX decision, not decoration. GSAP, no framework.

Security UX Concept

Phishing training, redesigned

Phishing-training surface redesigned with HUD UI and a playable “spot the phish” round. Behavioral interaction design applied to a compliance use case. Vanilla JS · GSAP · Web Audio.
