Most AI agents fail the same way: they hallucinate, they call a tool and ignore the output, or they break silently and nobody notices for three days. My work is the part after the demo: making agents observable, grounded, and safe to put in front of real users.
WHAT I BUILD
AI agents & multi-agent systems autonomous and semi-agentic systems with LangGraph and CrewAI for support triage, research, lead follow-up and report generation, with tool-calling and guardrails so the agent acts on real outputs instead of guessing
Agentic automation agents wired into the tools you already run (n8n, Make custom Python) so they take real actions, not just answer questions
OpenClaw agents self-hosted autonomous agents built and deployed on the OpenClaw framework: custom skills packaged for ClawHub, messaging-channel integrations (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack), scheduled heartbeat tasks, and gateway hardening
MCP integrations connecting agents to your data sources and tools through MCP servers, so one agent works across the systems you already run AI chatbots & RAG chatbots that answer from your real data using retrieval, deployed where your users already are LLM integration OpenAI and Claude wired into existing products with prompt design, cost controls, and testing against your real data before launch
PROJECTS
Multi-agent AI system for healthcare (lead developer) built the agent architecture for a clinically-validated healthcare AI platform: multi-agent orchestration with grounded, high-accuracy retrieval over medical data, so answers are cited and verifiable rather than guessed. LangGraph/CrewAI, MCP, Python
Agentic voice AI platform for sales (lead developer) led development on a multi-agent voice platform for financial advisors and sales teams: agents that handle live conversations, call tools mid-call, and keep context across channels, with guardrails on every action. Python, LLM, agent orchestration
AI Crawler + LLM query system built a crawler and LLM query layer for the financial industry, turning messy web sources into structured, high-accuracy data an LLM can answer from reliably. [Python, LLM, RAG]
Python + LLM rescue build took on a project two senior programmers had failed to complete and shipped it. Client: "a talented AI full stack developer who quickly understood our complex requirements. [Python, LLM]
Financial website crawler rebuilt a stalled data pipeline and deployed a Python solution on AWS EC2 after previous developers couldn't resolve it. Client: "My go-to Python/AWS expert." [Python, AWS EC2]
TECH STACK
Python, OpenClaw, LangGraph, CrewAI, LangChain, MCP, OpenAI API, Claude, FastAPI, [Pinecone / pgvector / Chroma], n8n, Make, AWS EC2, REST APIs, webhooks only what I can code live on a screen share.
HOW I WORK
I scope the agent before I build it, because an agent automating a bad process just fails faster. Every build ships with logging so you can see what the agent did and why, plus failure alerts and a handover doc so your team can run it without me. Honest timelines, risks flagged early.
Tell me one line about the agent you want built or the workflow you want
automated, and I'll reply with my approach, the stack, and a realistic
timeline, free, whether you hire me or not.
