Profile

Agentic AI engineer and product builder who turns ambiguous workflows into production-grade agents, automations, and operator tools. Hands-on across LLM orchestration, retrieval patterns, prompt/eval loops, browser and messaging automations, Cloudflare Workers, TypeScript, React, and data pipelines. I focus on useful systems that ship: agents with clear scope, human review points, observability, and business outcomes attached.

Agentic AI Engineering Focus

Agent Design

  • Task decomposition, tool selection, memory/context strategy
  • Human-in-the-loop review, escalation paths, and safety boundaries
  • Prompt systems, structured outputs, evals, and regression checks

Workflow Automation

  • Browser, CRM, WhatsApp, email, sourcing, and ops automations
  • Event-driven pipelines, queues, webhooks, and background jobs
  • Operational dashboards, audit trails, and runbooks

LLM Systems

  • Retrieval, embeddings, classification, summarisation, and routing
  • Model selection, latency/cost trade-offs, and fallback-free architecture
  • Typed contracts, test fixtures, and data-quality feedback loops

Production Delivery

  • Cloudflare-native agents, APIs, storage, queues, and scheduled jobs
  • React/TypeScript operator interfaces and internal tooling
  • Metrics, incident paths, access control, and documentation

Experience

Founder & Agentic Systems Builder

Topolo Technology Inc

Mar 2022 – Present Global / Remote

Design and build AI-assisted workflows, platform services, and operator tools across Topolo's multi-product ecosystem.

  • Built agent-assisted workflows for sourcing, CRM enrichment, roadmap analysis, documentation, and internal delivery across products including Topolo CRM, Roadmapper, Topolo Auth, Nodo MDM, and ImpactCanvas.
  • Specified Cloudflare Workers, D1, KV, R2, Queues, and React/TypeScript architectures for low-latency agent tooling, dashboards, and workflow backends.
  • Structured shared auth, identity, service, and data contracts so agents could operate inside explicit platform boundaries instead of one-off scripts.
  • Designed human review loops for high-impact workflows, keeping automation fast while preserving operator control and traceability.
  • Maintained docs, prompts, API contracts, and operating notes so agent behavior remained inspectable and repeatable across iterations.
