Building and DocumentingAI Agent Systems

A public library of agent engineering, agent infrastructure, and live AI systems. Code and reasoning in the open. Honest about what works and what does not.

The work

Four bodies of work.

Some shipped, some in active development, all real. Taking ideas to working, documented systems, and the reasoning behind them.

Live

Agent Patterns & Builds

A growing public library of documented agent builds across tool use, memory, retrieval, multi-agent orchestration, evaluation, safety, and governance. Each one is a working pattern with the code and the reasoning behind it.

Agent-Ready Infrastructure Labs

A lab series on the infrastructure agents need before they can safely act: registration, authorization, observability, sandboxing, payments, and agent-to-agent handoff. Thirteen labs across trust, execution, and governance.

Live AI Systems Series

Most AI is reactive prompt and response. Live AI systems watch changing context, hold state, detect meaningful change, score priority, produce evidence, and escalate to a human when review is needed. A series on building exactly that.

Writing

Build notes and teardowns.

50+ articles, organized by category. Architecture teardowns, debugging notes, and operating lessons from real builds. The errors left in.

About

Fast-moving builder.

Moving from idea to working system, fast. Directing frontier AI models and documenting the process. I publish the builds, the code, and the reasoning.

Background in technology and intellectual property law. A sharp eye for risk, ownership, and what holds up under pressure.

Building toward AI products and partnerships worth backing. Working on something real with AI? I want in.
