I build systems that run while you sleep.

AI agents that work alongside your team, and the cloud systems and websites around them.

Operating principle

Building an AI agent is the easy part. The hard part is the operation around it: one source of truth for what work exists, who does it, a person or an agent, when it runs, and what happens when it fails. That is what I build.

AI agents, operationalized

Agents that work like part of your operation.

Not chatbots. Products: tracked units of work, shared with your team, safe when they fail.

A chat window is a demo. A product gives the agent a tracked job with an input, an output, an owner, and a status your app can show.

In practiceEvery agent run is a work item: queued, running, in review, done, or failed and escalated.

Agents that publish events, not database writes

An orchestrator delegates to subagents that publish events to SNS/SQS, consumed by a domain API. Single-purpose pieces, fully decoupled, open for extension.

FAQ

Good questions.

Do you work with small businesses?

Yes. A fast website or one automated process can matter as much as an agent platform.

Can you host and maintain it?

Yes, on AWS in your account or mine, under a simple monthly care plan.

Who owns the code?

You do. Your repository, your accounts, no lock-in.

Do you have to be local?

No. I’m in Cincinnati on Eastern time and work with clients anywhere.
