Ryan Leibering

M.S. Human Computer Interaction Design

My journey with AI began by validating commercial applications through creative experimentation, developing animation techniques that reached target audiences across multiple industries. This led me to build the technical foundation these systems require: architecting accessibility-first design systems and implementing full-stack infrastructure in Next.js. Now I am developing DARF (Delegated Agentic Research Framework), which implements constitutional AI principles through multi-agent orchestration, cryptographic audit trails, and W3C-compliant provenance tracking.

Current Project

DARF: Delegated Agentic Research Framework

A constitutional AI system implementing multi-agent orchestration with cryptographic audit trails and W3C PROV-compliant data provenance. Built to preserve human autonomy while enabling sophisticated AI workflows.

Luminosity Layers

Accessibility through perceived brightness

BackgroundL = 0.0060 - 0.0307
MiddleL = 0.1181 - 0.1922
ForegroundL = 0.5604 - 1.0000
✓ WCAG AA Compliant

Research & Development

Janus Design System

A year-long research project building accessibility from first principles. By prioritizing luminosity over color, I created a design system that maintains WCAG compliance while enabling sophisticated visual hierarchies.

36-page technical specification with mathematical foundations
Calculated contrast ratios from ITU-R BT.709 and CIE 1931 standards
Discovered colorblindness limitation: 2.43:1 maximum achievable contrast

Creative Exploration

Project Apothecary

Eleven experimental visual music videos that validated generative AI's commercial potential. Through innovative animation techniques combining MidJourney, FILM interpolation, and After Effects, I created content that resonated with audiences and caught artists' attention.

Professional Validation

Atliens contacted me directly after viewing my work, requesting I create visuals for their full album. This professional validation proved the commercial viability of AI-assisted creative production.
