What I Do

AI Agent Development

Custom autonomous agents with reasoning loops, tool-calling, and self-healing capabilities. Not chatbots—production systems that diagnose, decide, and act.

Workflow Automation

End-to-end business process automation powered by LLMs. Invoice processing, lead qualification, content pipelines—any repetitive work your team does manually.

Conversational AI

Intelligent assistants that understand your business. RAG-powered chatbots, cross-platform bots with SSO, context-aware support systems.

Infrastructure & DevOps

Docker deployments, monitoring stacks, CI/CD pipelines, and self-hosted solutions. The foundation that makes everything else reliable.

Case Study

Cortex: Autonomous AI Operations Platform

A production AI platform that autonomously monitors, diagnoses, and remediates infrastructure issues across a distributed system. Built from scratch with a custom agentic reasoning engine, tool-calling architecture, and multi-service coordination.

What Cortex Does Autonomously

  • Alert Triage & Remediation — Receives alerts, diagnoses root cause via SSH, executes fixes, verifies resolution
  • Multi-Host Diagnostics — SSH into 6+ systems simultaneously, running concurrent diagnostic commands
  • Self-Healing — Automatic service restarts, resource cleanup, and configuration corrections
  • Self-Preservation — Knows its own dependencies and won't restart them mid-operation
  • Persistent Context — Maintains operational memory across sessions for smarter decisions over time
