I'm a Solutions Architect and ERP Specialist based in Denver, CO, with 15+ years of experience designing and implementing enterprise systems that drive manufacturing and business operations worldwide. My mission is to bridge the gap between complex business processes and effective technology, always prioritizing people and sustainable growth over vendor dependency.

People over profits. The principles behind my work:

• 🌱 Sustainable Technology: Building systems that adapt and scale with your business.
• 👥 Employee Empowerment: Transferring knowledge to make your team self-sufficient.
• 📚 Knowledge Sharing: Advancing our collective capabilities through open-source education.
• 🌍 Balanced Innovation: Integrating environmental and social impact as measurable business drivers.

Every repository I own, grouped by what it is. Each line gives the repo, its one-line description and, when there is one, its live site. Repo descriptions, topics and READMEs follow one portfolio standard, so any README you open has the same shape: overview, features, quick start, structure, development, changelog and license.

Marks: 🧪 experimental prototype or research · 🛠️ maintenance mode fixes only · 💤 unmaintained parked, not archived · 🍴 fork of someone else's project. There are no private or GitHub-archived repos at the moment; they would be marked 🔒 private (name and description only) and 🗄️ archived.

The control plane, shared CI and the standards every repo follows.

Besides being my profile, this repo is the control plane for the portfolio: a monorepo that mounts about 40 of the projects above as Git submodules under projects/, plus the shared standards, CI, dashboards and AI harnesses that keep them consistent. The dash is live at bamr87.github.io/bamr87.

bamr87/
├── projects/    # the fleet: one Git submodule per project
├── _data/       # registries: projects.yml (the fleet), portfolio.yml (this index), profile.yml
├── specs/       # the Universal Project Standard (REPOSITORY, QUALITY, WORK, ...)
├── templates/   # kits fanned out to every repo (CI, schema, community files, ...)

Clone with all submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bamr87/bamr87.git
cd bamr87
./tools/setup.sh

• AGENTS.md: Compact agent guide — repository boundaries, focused checks, generated files, and operational gotchas
• SUBMODULES.md: The submodule workflow — commit in the submodule, then bump the pointer
• docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: Development environment setup
• docs/DASH.md: The dash architecture — registry, surfaces, gates, AI loop
• CONTRIBUTING.md: Contribution guidelines
• docs/PORTFOLIO.md: The portfolio standard — descriptions, topic taxonomy, homepage rule and README skeleton

To change this index, edit _data/projects.yml (fleet members) or _data/portfolio.yml (grouping and display-only extras), then run tools/dash-gen readme. The AUTO:projects block is regenerated daily by the refresh-dash workflow.
