# Alan Pruitt — Curriculum Architect & AI Strategist
> Personal portfolio, research hub, and sovereign Curriculum-as-Code (CaC) repository of Alan Pruitt (Coach Alan).

## Core Identity & Architecture
- **Founder & Chief Curriculum Architect**: Webcognita LLC ([webcognita.com](https://www.webcognita.com)) & Exercise Science Adjunct Faculty at Arizona Western College (AWC — Hispanic-Serving Institution, Yuma, AZ / Imperial Valley, CA).
- **Core Methodology**: Curriculum-as-Code (CaC) governed by the **S-A-R Standard (Scalable / Auditable / Repeatable)** — treating instructional materials as deterministic software with a Markdown Single Source of Truth (SSoT), Git version control, automated CI/CD pre-commit/pre-push linters, Canvas GraphQL-first (`/api/graphql`) synchronization, and zero-trust FERPA PII auditing.
- **The Centaur Protocol & Clinical Reasoning**: Training students as **Clinical Architects & Problem Framers** (human judgment) and AI as the **Clinical Calculator** via **The Clinical Framing Protocol (`Pattern / Rule / Solve` • `Patrón / Regla / Solución`)**, **Simon Sinek's Golden Circle (`WHY → HOW → WHAT`)**, **Active Verification Telemetry**, and the **10-7-0 Mastery Grading Scale**.
- **Pedagogical & Civil Rights Governance**: Compliance-as-Code enforcing **ADA Title II**, **WCAG 2.2 AA** with a mandatory **9:1 Double-Contrast Guard**, **WCAG 3.0 Cognitive Accessibility** (*In Plain English* / authentic **Norteño-Spanish** bilingual parity), $0 ZTC Open Pedagogy, and federal/clinical Sources of Truth (**PAGA 2018 2nd Ed.**, **2025–2030 DGA "Real Food" Focus**, **ACSM 12th Ed. 2025**, and **NASM OPT Model**).
- **Sovereign Dual-Workstation Edge AI**: Air-gapped Apple Silicon orchestration pairing an **M1 Interactive Antigravity (AGY) IDE Cockpit** with an **M2 Unattended 7:00 AM MST Daemon & Local Ollama Engine** (`exw-argon4-cac:latest`, `exw-gemma4:latest`).
- **Rapid Prototyping**: Vibe Coding with strict upstream architectural boundaries and external edge simulators that bypass LMS HTML sanitizers.
