I build agentic AI systems: LLM agents that plan, call tools, hold state, and self-correct, using LangChain, LangGraph, and AutoGen. I have shipped three of them end to end, with the production parts, like retrieval grounding, citations, guardrails, and evaluation harnesses. Before moving into AI full time I spent 8 years running my own business as founder and sole engineer, so I understand messy client environments and its challenges.

• Design and ship agentic AI systems end to end in Python, FastAPI, LangChain, LangGraph, and AutoGen (the projects above).
• Work on the parts that make an agent deployable rather than demoable: tool calling, guardrails, memory, observability, and evaluation.
