AI agents, engineered
for production.
Co-founder & Lead AI Engineer. I build agentic systems that orchestrate real-world tools — with typed control at the model boundary, observable runs, and evaluation wired in from the start.

Orchestration, tool reliability, and evaluation of LLM agents
How I build.
Three commitments that carry from prototype to production.
Built for production
What matters is uptime, latency, and user trust — not demo quality. At AskTuring I scaled the platform from 100 to 10,000+ concurrent users, and that bar shapes every design decision.
Verify, then ship
Model behavior is a hypothesis until it's tested. Evaluation suites, deterministic test fakes, and observable runs decide what goes out — my open-source agent framework ships with a 19-check verification harness.
Own the whole path
Provider APIs, tool schemas, orchestration, retrieval, and evaluation — the failure modes live at the boundaries, so I take responsibility across all of them.
