Building intelligent products and automation for startups and fast-moving teams. A digital nomad (50+ countries) with Python since 2007. Outcomes over process.
🌟 "Human beings are not meant to sink in tedious repetitive tasks. We're more creative than that."
- Agent harnesses (Claude Code, Cursor, MCP), multi-agent workflows, RAG and LLM APIs
- Robot Framework, RPA libraries, web/desktop automation, OCR, intelligent document processing
- Core: Python (FastAPI/Flask, SQLModel)
- Secondary: Go, TypeScript (Node.js, Express.js/NestJS, Prisma), C/C++
- Communication: REST, WebSocket, gRPC, queues (Rabbit|ZeroMQ)
- Core: React/Next.js, Tailwind
- Secondary: HTML + Jinja2, JavaScript, CSS + Bootstrap
- PostgreSQL, MySQL
- Redis, MongoDB, Elasticsearch
- Docker, Compose/Swarm, Kubernetes (Helm), Terraform, ArgoCD
- AWS, GCP (App Engine, Functions, Firestore), Heroku, Vercel
- Prometheus, Grafana (Loki, Tempo)
- Embedded operator: I work inside your Slack, GitHub and standups. Part of the team, minus the payroll.
- Spec-driven, blueprint-first: Research, approved blueprint, tests, review. Front-load the design so agent-written code ships with confidence.
- Value over hours: Outcomes-based pricing tied to business impact. Expertise shortens the work, it doesn't pad it.
- Fast iterations: Ship early, gather feedback, refine. Small batches over big bangs.
- Your IP stays yours: Client work goes to the client. My methods are licensed, never sold twice (Background IP).
- AI culture: I bring the team along instead of just using the tools myself. Shared conventions, live results over policy memos, and practices that outlast my engagement.
- 🏢 Owner at Wandercode: Fractional AI Product Strategist helping startups and high-growth companies build intelligent products and adopt AI-driven engineering practices.
- 🤖 AI SDLC Engineer deployed through Bonsai Labs on short client engagements, and AI Product Engineer at Change Agents: shipping AI agents and making agentic delivery the team default.
- 🔍 Founded Traced AI: tamper-evident evidence of AI decisions for EU AI Act compliance.
- 📈 Fractional engineer at VONQ, a recruitment marketing platform: built the Meeting Assistant, an AI agent that coaches interviewers live in Google Meet, and drove AI adoption across the team.
♠️ Built Python/FastAPI services and a C++ inference server at A5 Labs, delivering Game Theory Optimal (GTO) and reinforcement learning strategies for high-stakes poker tournaments.- 🤝 Co-Founder at NoMoreApply: Private community for trusted engineers who skip the recruiter.
- 🧩 Designed and implemented a gallery of AI Actions for AI-powered automation at Sema4.ai.
- 📦 Published PyPI RPA libraries at Robocorp to enhance open-source automation.
