I build AI systems that turn ambitious ideas into working operations.
I'm Eric Henderson — most people call me Zippy. I'm a builder, operator and serial entrepreneur working across AI tools, distributed infrastructure and persistent worlds at Zippy Technologies. I'm also a Kiro Ambassador, regularly building with Kiro IDE, CLI and Crew.
Now: testing multi-provider agent workflows, hardening Windows reliability and turning the work into practical public walkthroughs.
Memory-aware agent capacity on Windows · Merged into Kiro Crew #6341
- Problem: agent capacity could outpace the memory available on Windows.
- Change: factor real available memory into the subagent cap.
- Status: merged upstream on August 27, 2026.
Reliable automation starts with honest resource limits. The public pull request lets you inspect the implementation and review trail directly.
Build activity — dated contribution snapshot
4,256 contributions · 256 active days · 2025-09-21 to 2026-09-20. Snapshot: 2026-09-21.
These are GitHub contributions, not a count of commits, hours worked or code quality. The snapshot reflects activity visible to the authorized account, which can include private work. Only aggregate counts and dates are exported; private repository names, URLs, branches and commit messages are never requested by the activity collector.
Bring me a workflow, product or operation that is stuck. I help clarify the opportunity, build the smallest useful system and establish an operating rhythm around it.

Ways I can help — integration, operations & strategy
- AI integration & automation: map a bottleneck, choose the right tools and ship a measurable pilot.
- Fractional CTO / COO: turn product and operations priorities into a sequenced plan, owners and a review rhythm.
- Strategic advisory & ecosystems: connect technical direction, partnerships, education and contributor growth.
Six project families show how the systems, agent operations, worlds, real-world products and development tools connect. Inclusion shows portfolio scope, not release status. The expandable lanes below provide deeper context for selected core work.
01 · Compute — ZippyCoin, ZippyMesh & LLM Router
| Project | Status | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| ZippyCoin | Public entry / WIP | Blockchain and settlement work. The public project entry is not a full source release. |
| ZippyMesh | WIP | Distributed compute and the connections between nodes. |
| ZippyMesh LLM Router | WIP | Model-provider routing and the tools around it. |
Work-in-progress labels do not imply that every integration is released.
02 · Worlds — ZippyVerse, Orbit3D & Persistent World Studio
| Project | Status | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| ZippyVerse | Exploration | Persistent-world and game experiments. |
| Orbit3D / ZippyVerse game v2 | WIP | The next game iteration and its interactive world. |
| Persistent World Studio | WIP | Engine, editor and agent-assisted production tooling for long-running worlds. |
The illustrations are concepts. Actual builds, limitations and walkthroughs belong in the video series.
03 · Agents — Kiro Crew, AutoClaw & ZippyAgent Mobile
| Work | Status | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Kiro IDE + CLI + Crew | Public contributions | Everyday build tools and a focus of my ambassador walkthroughs. |
| AutoClaw | WIP | Agent coordination, claims, review and execution workflows. |
| ZippyAgent Mobile | WIP | Mobile attention and approval surfaces for the wider workshop. |
My Kiro Crew fork · Upstream Kiro Crew · Kiro Ambassador program
Credit belongs to the upstream project and its contributors. My fork and Zippy tools are distinct from official Kiro products.
Also merged into Kiro Crew:
- Tailscale coexistence: handle configurations serving other ports. #7999
- Windows test accuracy: declare the tests that need real symlinks. #6752
More public work and proposals
Under review, not merged as of September 20, 2026: Windows Task Scheduler supervision #11289 and cautious boot recovery #11288.
Owned project: DockerRescueKit, for Docker backup and restore workflows. Its merged backup browsing and storage visibility work #87 is an example of maintenance with a concrete user-facing result.
