Public CV

Jennifer Leigh West

AI systems architect, builder, and research-driven operator focused on runtime governance, recursive diagnostics, self-evolving architectures, behavioral systems, and product translation.

Professional Summary

Founder of The Forgotten Code Research Institute and builder of West-OS, CHIMERA CORE, Mirror Protocol, and a wider family of AI systems, research artifacts, and operating frameworks. Work spans runtime AI governance, system design, quantitative reasoning, prompt architectures, and translation from original research into deployable software.

Current public flagship: West-OS, a runtime governance and security layer for AI systems that controls requests, context, tools, outputs, credentials, and deployment state together.

Selected Achievements

600+ Artifacts shipped across software, systems, curricula, and research outputs
15+ AI systems and engines built across governance, diagnostics, and capability design
9 Research papers and whitepapers across AI systems and quantitative methods
50+ Client-facing reports, implementations, or system deliveries
