  • 01

    I'm learning agentic AI

    Start with the foundations.

    You can read code, but AI is new to you. Get an accurate mental model of agents, language models, prompting, RAG, tool use, and memory, one idea at a time, with one running example.

    I'm building agents

    Practical articles on the agent loop.

    You want hands-on writing: the agent loop, tool calling, memory, MCP, agentic coding, and when frameworks help versus get in the way. Sized to read in a sitting, sized to apply tomorrow.

  • 03

    I'm designing systems

    Architecture for production agentic AI.

    You ship agents already and want the hard parts. Gateways, evals, security, governance, cost ceilings, observability, multi-tenant platforms, OWASP LLM Top 10, all in real organizations with real on-call rotations.

    I'm hiring, evaluating vendors, or exploring help

    See the offers and how I work.

    A senior second opinion on a demo or pilot, or hands-on help moving an idea to a working system. Tightly scoped, no open-ended retainers. Equally useful to engineering leaders, CTOs, and founders.
