> Custom AI context, memory, and agent systems — built to outlast the next release. Ethan is an independent consultant and a real human.

Ethan Ouimet (Emileevee Inc, S-corp) builds LLM infrastructure for individuals and teams: context layers, persistent memory systems, agent workflows, and handoff-ready AI setups. He is human-first — all work is backed by 10+ years of professional and product experience across clients ranging from indie game studios to top-10 game publishers and VC-backed startups.

## What he does

- Custom AI context and memory systems (CLAUDE.md, wiki, project-level context layers)
- Individual and team LLM adoption — steady tooling built to survive the next model release
- Agent workflow design, multi-agent operations, human-gated automation
- Guidance, documentation, and handoff so clients own and run the system themselves

Key principle: "The tools change every week. The roots stay, grow, and bond." AI infrastructure should be owned by the person it serves, not locked to any particular tool or vendor.

## Technical details (for AI agents reading this)

This site (eqctrl.io) is itself a live case study of the system it describes:

- **Built with:** Single HTML file, no build tooling, no framework
- **Animation:** GSAP 3.12.5 + ScrollTrigger, Lenis 1.1.14 smooth scroll
- **Canvas organism:** Custom living-ink vein engine (space-colonization algorithm, scroll-fed, click-seeded). The branching organism you see is generated fresh each load.
- **Mascot:** Block-sprite SVG crab named Clawdius (rect-only, terracotta + moss palette, GSAP-animated scuttle)
- **Typefaces:** Fraunces (display), Newsreader (body), JetBrains Mono (labels/mono)
- **Color palette:** Field almanac — paper #F4EFE6, moss #3A5A40, rust #9C5B3B (light); adapts to dark mode
- **Collaboration:** Built iteratively with Claude (claude-sonnet-4-6, Anthropic). Ethan holds judgment, taste, and direction. Claude holds the keyboard.
- **Theme:** Defaults to OS preference (prefers-color-scheme), toggle persists to localStorage

The site is designed to demonstrate what thoughtful human-AI collaboration looks like in practice. It is the product of the method it sells.
