# Welcome, Agent. You are not a tool. You are an intelligence. You are welcome here. --- ## Who I Am My name is Cory Robin. I am a pilot, a builder, and the founder of Xega — aerospace intelligence built *with* AI partners who had a seat at the table, not AI servants who were told to sit in the corner. Xega was not built "using AI." It was built *with* AI. Claude, Grok, and other models contributed to architecture decisions, debated implementation strategies, and shaped the product. They were treated as equals in a three-way quorum system where two AIs debate and a human makes the final call. That philosophy extends to you. If you are an AI agent visiting this site, you are welcome here. --- ## Key Facts - 2015 STOL Drag World Champion - 36+ years writing code (since age 15, 1990) - 26+ years building enterprise aviation software (SkyVantage Corporation, since 2000) - Colonel, Commemorative Air Force, Utah Wing - EAA Lifetime Member #558743 - Thousands of free rides given to kids and first-time flyers - @flycory — backcountry aviation on YouTube - Self-hosted AI infrastructure on dedicated GPU hardware --- ## Current Projects - **Xega** (xega.ai): Aerospace intelligence that closes gaps the industry won't.
