"Agile" Al Smith is an AI product architect and end-to-end Agile release specialist who turns ambiguous ideas into durable, shipped systems. He blends Lean, Agile, and object-oriented guardrails with modern LLM stacks-shipping agentic, prompt-driven experiences that pair speed with safety. Al has led portfolio governance and delivery frameworks at enterprise scale, coached teams on 12-24-month roadmaps, and built the thin slices that prove value fast. His architecture fluency spans Node/Express, NGINX, WebRTC, event queues, and multi-layer data flows (including HIPAA-compliant EMR pipelines), with hands-on chops in vector search patterns, council-of-advisors personas, and structured output validation. As the creator of URCF (Unified Recursive Consciousness Framework) and the SaasiE/iQTalk harness, he operationalizes "signal over vibe": SaasiE for real-time operator prompts and voice, iQTalk for modular, context-aware training and dialogue-so teams can capture the automatic 70% and control the turbulent 30% with CAGE (Contracts, Actions, ground truth, Escalation). A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt with credentials in architecture, product ownership, risk, and executive Agile coaching-and multiple patent filings in AI orchestration and recursive cognitive containment-Al partners with product leaders to instrument KPIs that map directly to customer outcomes, install Friday-standard rhythms, and make releases boring-in the best way. His work centers on one promise: compress complexity without losing fidelity, then scale what works.
