Tech Lead · AI agents in production

I build AI agents that hold up in production. The reason they do is the twelve years before them: payment, banking and crypto systems that weren’t allowed to fail.

I work end to end — architecture and requirements through implementation, deploy and production ownership, leading teams of up to ten engineers. My foundation is backend and distributed systems (Go, Java, Kotlin, Node, Ruby, Python) on AWS. What I do with it now is design and ship agent systems: multi-LLM orchestration, real-time message routing, and the engineering process around agents that keeps them from hallucinating the middle.

Experience

Co-founder

Pre-launch startup building AI agents, AI influencers and AI-generated content. I own the technical direction.

Tech Lead, Solution Engineering (2026) · Senior Software Engineer (2025)

Multichannel chat and support-bot platform. I design and ship AI agents on multiple LLMs, from solution architecture through production tuning, and I lead the engineering behind new client rollouts — connecting the technology to what the client actually needs so value lands earlier.

Senior Project Coordinator, Tech Lead (2015–2020) · Systems Analyst (2011–2014) · Production Coordinator (2008–2011)

Twelve years across one company, moving from the shop floor of a fruit-export operation into the systems that ran it. I coordinated projects and led squads, running the full cycle from requirements to production support. This is where I learned that software is only worth what the business can depend on.

Open source

rc-project

Agent plugin driving the full lifecycle of AI-assisted development, from PRD to remediation. Over a hundred agents: planners, executors, reviewers, code-security auditors, loop pipelines, harness engineering, and councils that argue a decision out before it reaches the code. Standard engineering tooling for a team of ~50 developers, shipping to enterprise clients in telecom, digital banking and solar energy.

lib-acp

Node client for Claude Code and Codex over the Agent Client Protocol.
