About

Two careers. One craft: systems that hold people.

I'm Everett Considine — programmer, architect, and consultant for the first half of my working life; a guide through human change for the second. AI is where the two halves finally meet.

The arc

Thirty years of technology. Fifteen years inside people.

1998 – 2011

The builder

I built systems for a living. Enterprise ecommerce architecture at Bellcore, IBM, Pfizer, and Amway's Quixtar; a startup CTO seat; my own technology company. I consulted from Fortune 50 floors to five-person shops — the pattern was always the same: walk into someone else's messy, half-understood problem, find the system inside it, and ship. Once, that meant a complete online store in five weeks.

I rode every technology wave by building on it, not reading about it. Looking back, it was forward-deployed engineering twenty-five years before the job title existed.

The human systems years

Then I turned to a different kind of system: people. As a Level 3 certified Internal Family Systems practitioner, I've spent fifteen years doing parts work — more than ten of them focused on food struggles — and guided over 7,000 people through change. What I learned reshaped everything I build: what looks broken in a person is usually something trying to protect them.

I created the Food Trance framework and The Peaceful Eating Way™, co-authored Rezoom with Susan Peirce Thompson, and co-built Self-Therapy Journey with Jay Earley — psychology as interactive software, a decade before the industry caught up to the idea. The work carried commercial weight, too: programs built on my parts-work approach — my own, and those I created with Bright Line Eating — have generated more than $4.5 million in sales.

The reunion

AI brought the builder back — with the second career riding along. I direct AI as my implementation layer the way a CTO directs a team: I own the architecture, the product judgment, and the verification; AI writes most of the code; nothing ships until I've proven it works. In eighteen months that has meant a production app with attack-verified security, governed agentic automation running a real business's operations, attribution systems, and a complete instrumented revenue engine that earned $25,000 out of the gate.

The proof lives on the portfolio page — every claim there survives the follow-up question.

The join between the two careers isn't a scar. Like a kintsugi vessel, the seam is the strongest, most visible line in the work — and it's gold.
What I believe

Effectiveness that isn't good for the human isn't effectiveness.

I.

People aren't one voice.

One part wants change; another fears it; another rebels. Software that treats inner conflict as noncompliance will always fight its users. I build for the whole committee.

II.

Verification is the method, not a phase.

Attack your own security fixes. Prove money lanes with money. A success response proves the call succeeded — not that it did what you meant.

III.

Autonomy where it's safe, human judgment where stakes are real.

The automation I ship keeps a person at every gate that touches another person. Systems should absorb failure, not amplify it.

IV.

Technology should widen a person's choices.

I don't build manipulation engines, addiction maximizers, or surveillance. That's not a constraint on the work — it's the work.

"If the AI becomes dramatically more effective — is that also good news for the human using it?"
Now

Looking for problems worth a decade.

I work best at founder and partner level: taking a messy, human, real-world problem from ambiguity to a working, verified system — and staying to compound it. If you're building things people will trust with their inner lives, we should talk.
