    I’m John Ruf, the builder behind Glitch Forgeworks. I make software, games, stories, and tools for people who love turning ideas into something real. My skills bring structure to working with AI coding agents—from sharpening requirements and planning parallel builds to checking what actually shipped. They’re built around a simple standard: clear instructions, useful outputs, and evidence that the work is done. Engineer by trade, artist by instinct. Always tinkering.
