Sunday Community Picnic Ideas

kai campaign

Executive Summary
Weekly community engagement picnic with focus on rights education, community speakers, community, food, relaxing activities, live music and mutual aid.

Background
Kai Newkirk is running for AZ US Congress District 4. Newkirk campaign volunteers include folks like Liz Humphrey, who coordinates mutual aid donation and distribution. Newkirk is a progressive anti-ICE, anti-genocide, humanity first activist with fast growing support.

Problem Canvassing is hard and we volunteers need something to look forward to. Lack of third spaces shared with immediate neighbors makes people feel isolated.

Track: code-reviewer

code-reviewer is the substrate's second pair of eyes. Given a body of changed code — a branch, a commit range, a set of files — it returns findings: specific, located, severity-rated, confidence-marked. It reasons from the contracts a system promises and checks whether the code keeps them.

What this track IS

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of professional experience, one year at Cisco working on agentic systems, six years at Amazon working on customer facing .com product customization features, and two years at American Express. I hold a BS in Computer Science with a focus in Software Engineering from Arizona State University, and I spent a semester on exchange at the National University of Singapore. I'm especially passionate about effective agentic code development workflows, agentic systems, automation, process improvement, UX design, frontend engineering, and open source.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar, piano, and other instruments and performing at open mics. I co-produced and co-starred in a local indie film. I love spending time with my 2 year old red heeler mix, Arabella.

Looking forward to working together!

If you're interested in chatting more, I've worked on a wide array of projects with diverse requirements and I'm always happy to talk about any of them. Some projects

Ingest test code is "Me oh my, what a successful test!"

What I'm Building

I'm building reddit-mcp — an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates Reddit API with AgentBase.me, a secure multitenant chat platform. This enables AI agents on AgentBase to interact with Reddit on behalf of authenticated users.

GitHub: https://github.com/prmichaelsen/reddit-mcp

What it does:

AI agents on AgentBase can browse subreddits, search Reddit, read comments
AI agents can post, comment, vote, save content on behalf of the authenticated user
AI agents can manage messages, moderate subreddits, edit wiki pages
