About

A career built by making.

Applied AI product builder, founder, and creative technologist connecting product judgment with hands-on implementation.

John N. Farmer, Founder and CEO of Omikina, Inc.

Now / Peoria, Illinois

I connect the problem, the workflow, and the working product.

I lead Omikina, Inc. and work across research, product strategy, interface design, agent-assisted development, integration, testing, and deployment. My background includes multidisciplinary healthcare teams, immersive applications, teaching, and creative production.

I’m exploring applied AI and solutions architecture opportunities where I can translate complex needs into useful systems, explain the decisions, and stay close to delivery.

How I work

From a useful question to a reviewable result.

I use specialist agents for research, product critique, implementation, and checks, then reconcile their proposals and make the product decisions. The work includes MCP tools connected to a local CMS, source-aware publishing, and creative production with Higgsfield.

Each project makes the implementation and its limits visible: a local integration, a working prototype, and a public product carry different kinds of evidence.

How the work relates

One company, connected ventures, and an independent prototype.

Omikina, Inc. is the company. OMIKINA is its public AI intelligence platform; Omikina Records is its independent label; and Clarapetra is the label’s current artist project and visual world.

OMIKINA NEWS is the company’s wider-world publication, connecting technology, business, science, and culture through AI-assisted reporting and analysis.

MARGIN is separate. It is an independent, portfolio-led research and product prototype—not an Omikina product, not clinical care, and not a replacement for treatment or emergency services.
