I build software for AI agents and the teams that run them.

I ship developer tools and products, and publish research on inference performance, agent security, and how engineers verify agent work.

• AI engineering · Building an Internal Platform for AI Agents
• Inference · Leave your coding agent for 5 minutes and most of its cache is gone
• Agent security · Your agent should not inherit your admin token

I wrote a book: The Agentic Engineering Guide - 10 parts, 33 chapters on the engineering decisions behind AI agent infrastructure. Context engineering, authorization, cost control, evaluation, adoption playbooks.

Free to read online. PDF & EPUB on Gumroad. Source on GitHub.

Peer-reviewed conference paper · Springer · ICDEC 2025 proceedings · Published August 2026

My first published research paper, based on LLMTraceFX, the open-source GPU inference profiler I built.

I developed the concept and methodology, conducted and validated the study, and wrote the original draft.
