Steve Hutchinson

Distributed systems engineer building at the intersection of AI infrastructure and cognitive computing.

I write about distributed systems, AI agent runtimes, and the infrastructure layer that makes intelligent systems possible. The Cognitive Substrate series documents an ongoing project to build a distributed memory architecture across Kafka, OpenSearch, and ClickHouse — engineered to support AI agents that learn, forget, and reason over time.

When I'm not writing, I'm building. Most of my open-source work lives at SBPnet on GitHub.
