Building AI agents that actually do stuff
SIWA - Support Agent
Handles customer support. 12 tools. Actually works.
Billie - Revenue Agent
Handles lead gen and emails. 23 tools. Human-in-the-loop safety.
Not demos. Production systems. Real customers. Enterprise reliability.
Been at this since 2001
Filed a patent on neural network-based decision systems. Self-organizing maps for product recommendations. This was before neural networks were cool.

Building in Public
Some things I've been experimenting with. AI agents that actually interact with blockchain.
AI bouncer that checks NFT ownership before granting access. Combines Eliza agent framework with blockchain verification. Gets your ENS name, verifies VIP Club Pass NFTs, grants access accordingly. Maintains character—multilingual, elite but approachable.
AI shopping agent that actually pays with crypto. LangChain ReAct pattern + x402 payment protocol. Natural language requests turn into real USDC transactions on Base. Chat interface, product search, autonomous purchasing. Not a demo—actual blockchain payments.
3D medieval marketplace with AI shopkeeper. Turkish bazaar merchant powered by Nebula AI. Walk around as a knight, chat with the NPC, negotiate sword prices. Dynamic pricing based on your token holdings—but the shopkeeper never breaks character to tell you that. Three.js + blockchain + generative AI.
Before the AI Hype
Been building production ML systems since before it was cool.
CLO Portfolio Optimizer
First commercially available AI optimizer for CLO managers. Reinforcement learning + linear optimization. Actually shipped.
Featured in Credit Flux for AI innovation
World Economic Forum Recommendation Engine
Built the content rec engine for WEF. NLP + neural nets. Helped them figure out what to write about.
Global reach, data-driven content
Computer Vision at Scale
Face filters and style transfer for a site with 3B+ monthly views. Also built an ML system to parse parking signs. Yes, really.
Billions of interactions, actually in production
How I Got Here
From telecom to hedge funds to fintech. AI consulting. Now blockchain + AI agentic commerce. 30 years of watching tech waves come and go.
The pattern's always the same: people who learn to work WITH the new thing win. Everyone else scrambles to catch up.
Building this community because I kept having the same conversation with students and early-career folks. The frameworks that work are learnable. Figured we should learn together.
