Artifice Machineindependent software since 2022

Maxime Roy

Software engineer building the application layer between complex hardware systems and the people who use them, since 2016.

C#/.NET and C++/Qt applications for medical devices, machine vision, and digital imaging, with Python backends for the services behind them. Also AI and agentic tooling: MCP servers, agent orchestration, and self-hosted LLM infrastructure.

Vidistiller

Tool · extraction · 2026–

Self-hosted video intelligence platform. Transcribes, detects slides, summarizes with LLMs, and exports to Obsidian-ready Markdown.

ContributionSole designer and maintainer: the extraction pipeline, the slide-detection and summarization stages, the REST API, and the browser UI.

Superharness

Protocol · multi-agent · 2026–

Multi-agent task coordination for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. A shared contract layer that keeps AI coding assistants from stepping on each other.

ContributionSole designer and maintainer: the task contract, the delegation queue, the lifecycle rules, and the handoff protocol.

Obsidian Semantic MCP

Tool · memory · 2025–

Turns an Obsidian vault into a queryable brain for Claude. Semantic search across every note using local embeddings, no cloud services required.

ContributionSole designer and maintainer: the local indexing pipeline, the pgvector schema, the MCP tool surface, and the setup wizard.

Section 02 Experience

Where the work
has been done

Desktop and instrument software since 2016: C#/.NET and C++/Qt applications for medical devices, machine vision, and digital imaging, delivered alongside Python services and the infrastructure behind them.

Medical-device work has run under IEC 62304 and ISO 13485 design controls, including the Qt-QML frontend and design documentation for an FDA-cleared device. Imaging work has covered algorithm and pipeline development for industrial camera libraries and customer-facing applications.

Since 2022 the same discipline has gone into AI and agentic tooling through Artifice Machine: MCP servers, multi-agent orchestration, judgement harnesses for coding agents, and self-hosted LLM infrastructure.
