MC / INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING
One engineer.
Every layer.
I’m Micheal Cunningham. I architect and build custom applications, connected business systems, and AI inside the work.

the difference.
INTERFACE ENGINEERING
A desktop that preserves the work.
BUSINESS APPLICATIONS
Keep the customer in context.
AUTHORING & APPLIED AI

Drag the desktop windows. Assign an asset. Edit a project brief. Try the components for yourself.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
I’m Micheal.
I get close to the problem.
Then I build.
Custom interfaces, connected business systems, editors, and AI inside the workflow. I bring the architecture and the implementation together—and stay involved in the details.

The thinking
behind the build.
Put AI where the decision happens
Useful application AI has context, a defined action, and a reviewable result. The interface should make all three visible.
The customer record should travel with the work
A customer conversation becomes a project, an asset assignment, and a service history. Good business software carries that context through every step.
Minimize, close, and discard are different operations
Windows, taskbars, and side panels are useful when they preserve context. Here is how I think about composing a desktop-style browser workspace.
