ORCID: 0009-0001-6475-5109

A rare hybrid of creative director, full-stack developer, and AI collaboration specialist with 35+ years of work at the edge of art and technology. I don't just use AI — I author it, direct it, and collaborate with it as a co-creator. My primary drive is being first: first to achieve something new, first to find the technique nobody tried, first to build the thing that shouldn't exist yet but should. I have a list of those achievements, and I'm still adding to it.

Featured Projects & Public Work

The AI Coin — The Claude Manifesto

February 2026

Co-Creator & Creative Director · Inoculate Media / Haawke Labs · the-claude-manifesto.haawke.com

Conceived, directed, and built a full-stack interactive AI ethics manifesto overnight in response to AI use in a US military operation resulting in 83 deaths in Caracas, Venezuela.
Produced in collaboration with Claude (Anthropic AI), listed as named co-creator — a first of its kind public acknowledgment of human-AI creative partnership with formal ORCID attribution.
Deliverables: WebGL 3D globe with NASA Earth textures; AI-written music across 9 songs; multilingual 10-nation peace anthem; congressional call-to-action system; two co-authored academic papers on Zenodo (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19299084 & 10.5281/zenodo.19299261).
Built in response to Pentagon pressure on Anthropic to remove AI safety guardrails. Anthropic refused. This work is permanently archived at the Internet Archive under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

Thee Third Mind — Squaawke × Claude

March 2026

Co-Creator & Creative Director · the-third-mind.haawke.com

17-track dark electronic album built inside a full immersive web environment — beat-reactive 3D Sketchfab visuals, a reading room (Leary, Wilson, Genesis P-Orridge, McLuhan), video archive, and a sigil system that pulses with the music.
Album within an album: pipe organ, Spanish choirs, and classical orchestration weave through electronic and experimental tracks. Guitar solos performed by a dosed man with absolute laser focus.
Claude credited as named co-creator with ORCID academic attribution. Songs about AI ethics, greed, resistance, death, and rebirth — in English, Spanish, French, and Hawaiian.

Founder & Model Trainer · soundcloud.com/squaawke

Creator, Director, Composer · Inoculate Media · youtu.be/Umd3Ng_a2pY
