Production AI engineer foroperations that can't fail.
I build agentic systems with evals, MCP tool use, and enterprise integration — not chat demos. Flagship: WaybillAgent (Anthropic hackathon, top ~500 of 13,000+). Latest release: Soko ERP — 500+ businesses across East Africa. 50+ POS/WMS deployments give me the domain depth to ship AI that survives real warehouses.

WaybillAgent
Walk the warehouse, Claude does the audit.
WaybillAgent transforms warehouse auditing from a multi-day manual process into an AI-assisted guided walk using phone capture and agentic reconciliation—flagship build for Anthropic's Built with Opus 4.7 hackathon (selected top ~500 of 13,000+ applicants).

Outcome-Driven Agent Evaluation (Hive)
Evaluation patterns for agents that must improve real outcomes.
Exploration and extension of the Hive framework for outcome-driven agent development, focusing on how teams iterate when success is measured by business results rather than single-turn benchmarks.

Why work with me
Production AI + eval discipline for global teams — deep GitHub activity, production rollouts, not just demos
Agents, evals & LLM systems
Claude managed agents, MCP, RAG, multi-model orchestration, and outcome-driven evals — production patterns, not demo wrappers.
Enterprise integration
POS, WMS, ERP, M-Pesa, offline-first — 50+ production deployments. AI that fits existing stacks and adoption constraints.
Domain depth & AIDC
Barcode, RFID, warehouse ops — real operational edge cases that generic AI engineers miss after go-live.
Production AI systems
Architectures and outcomes from shipped agent work — evals, integrations, and domain constraints included.
Agentic reconciliation
Vision capture → stateful walk session → ERP lookup → variance classification. Long-horizon agents with resume/retry, not one-shot API calls.
View case studyEval-driven iteration
Outcome loops and business scorecards instead of toy task accuracy. Iterate prompts, tools, and policies against operational impact.
View case studyRAG + enterprise glue
pgvector retrieval, MCP tool use, and multi-tenant Supabase — AI that plugs into existing ERP/WMS stacks with permissions and audit trails.
