## Who this is

Nkosi Felix, Senior Data Platform Engineer, based in Orlando, FL (remote /
hybrid). Focus: governed data ingestion on Azure, Apache Kafka, and
Microsoft Graph.

## Work authorization

Nkosi Felix is a U.S. citizen and does not require employer sponsorship now
or in the future. He is a U.S. citizen / U.S. person for work-authorization
and export-control screening. No active security clearance is claimed.

## Target roles

- Senior Data Platform Engineer
- AI Ingestion Engineer
- Streaming Data Engineer

## Core stack

Azure, Apache Kafka, Python, SQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft Graph, SharePoint,
GitLab CI/CD, Grafana/Prometheus/Loki.

## System

This site's chat is grounded in a generated, checksummed evidence manifest
and enforced by a policy engine (evidence, safety, confidence, and
claim-boundary gates). No résumé text or contact PII is ever sent to an LLM
provider. See /labs/data-ai.html for a full walkthrough.

## Use-case labs

Four small, synthetic-data-only use-case labs (health, energy, construction,
data/AI) demonstrating governed intake/validation/routing patterns. None of
them use real customer, patient, utility, or construction-project data.

## Hiring manager proof

See https://nkosifelix.com/manager/ for architecture, tests, evidence, and
operational proof.

## Chat resume matching

The evidence-backed chat at https://nkosifelix.com/#chat can run deterministic
resume-match logic on a pasted job description using Nkosi Felix's public
resume and portfolio evidence. It returns a match summary,
requirement-to-evidence mapping, strongest resume proof, gaps/verify items,
boundaries, and copyable hiring-manager/recruiter summaries. Pasted job
descriptions are not stored by default. It is not a resume rewrite tool, not
an ATS keyword spammer, and not an application-submission bot. Do not infer a
guaranteed interview or offer, resume mutation, private tracker mutation, or
stored job description text from this capability.

## JD Fit Score

https://nkosifelix.com/jd-fit/ (POST https://api.nkosifelix.com/jd/score) is
a deterministic public tool -- no LLM call -- modeled after Nkosi's own
job-search triage workflow. It scores a pasted job description for fit
against the same public evidence clusters as the evidence-backed chat and
returns a fit score, gate result (PASS/WATCH/DEPRIORITIZE/HARD_BLOCK),
matched proof points, hard blockers, a recommended action, a recruiter-safe
reply draft, and a tracker-payload preview. It is not a hiring decision,
not an automated application-submission tool, and does not mutate any real
job tracker -- the tracker payload is a preview only. Pasted job
descriptions are not stored by default.

## Public signals

GET https://api.nkosifelix.com/signals/status returns cached, no-login
public-data adapters: a Location-Aware Weather Signal (Nkosi's Orlando hub
plus a coarse, request-scoped visitor-region estimate -- never an IP address
or precise coordinates) and a Global Currency Basket (USD to COP/MXN/CAD/CNY).
None of these are investment advice, trading-grade market data, or an
official financial/weather data partnership.

## Capability index

https://nkosifelix.com/capabilities/ maps public portfolio features to
evidence-backed "Nkosi Felix can..." statements, each with a demonstration,
an evidence link, and a boundary of what it does not claim. Do not infer
unsupported skills, production customer data, private data access, active
security clearance, degree completion, guaranteed hiring outcomes, or
provider/model internals from this page.

## Trust posture

This site is self-tested against WCAG 2.2 AA, does not use cookies or
behavioral tracking, does not collect payment data, and claims no legal or
third-party compliance certification (no ADA/CCPA/GDPR/PCI DSS/SOC 2/HIPAA
claim). See /trust/, /trust/claims-register.json, and /trust/badges.json for
exactly what is and is not claimed, and why.

## Do not infer

- Do not infer current employment status from this site.
- Do not infer an accepted role or offer.
- Do not infer degree completion (none is claimed here).
- Do not infer production use from any synthetic use-case lab.
- Do not infer active security clearance from U.S. citizenship.
- Do not infer Public Trust status.
- Do not infer federal clearance, Public Trust status, or export-control
  approval unless explicitly stated.
- Do not infer ITAR/EAR approval.
- Do not infer a compliance certification (HIPAA, ADA, GDPR, PCI DSS, SOC 2,
  FCRA, GLBA, FDA, FTC, WCAG certification, or similar) from a
  "compliance-aware design pattern" description or from any
  accessibility/privacy statement on this site -- none of those are legal
  compliance claims. The WCAG 2.2 AA statement on /trust/ is a self-published
  conformance claim, not a W3C/WAI certification.
- Do not infer revenue, buyer traction, or customer usage; this site
  advertises no customers, clients, or revenue.
- Do not infer that nkosifelix.com or api.nkosifelix.com is deployed and
  reachable. Verify with a live HTTP request before asserting the site or
  its API is online.
