Stephen Hnilica

An American in Curitiba, Brazil

Marketing.
AI. And a life
between things.

I'm Stephen Hnilica. Marketer, AI builder, and member of a worker-owned cooperative.

Marketing since 2006. Building with AI since 2018.
A 4,600-mile walk somewhere in between.

Constellation

Getting an AI agent to write code is one task. Coordinating several agents and checking the result is another. Constellation is my file-based orchestration system for turning objectives into tested programs.

Claude Code. OpenCode. Codex. A shared workflow, with verification gates between a result and a claim of completion.

There was also a very long walk.

Approximately 4,600 miles, solo, with no follow car. I walked across America for the Ekal Foundation, supporting rural education in India. Full-time travel followed. These days, Curitiba is home.
