Systems Engineer focused on autonomous agents, distributed systems, and production AI infrastructure.

Open to remote roles in AI infrastructure, autonomous agents, distributed systems, and backend/platform engineering.

I build systems where agents, infrastructure, data pipelines, and real-world operations meet.

Contributor to Hermes-Agent, working around agent runtime, orchestration, infrastructure, and production reliability.

I design and operate production systems combining:

• autonomous agents
• distributed infrastructure
• real-time data pipelines
• high-concurrency backend systems
• AI-driven automation
• operational reliability

My focus is not only making systems work in demos.

My focus is making them survive production.

• Multi-agent orchestration
• Agent runtime infrastructure
• Distributed systems architecture
• Event-driven systems
• Real-time WebSocket infrastructure
• Stateful data reliability
• MySQL InnoDB Cluster operations
• Kafka / Redis / Debezium pipelines
• Plugin and tooling ecosystems
• Observability, lifecycle management, and reliability

Built and operated the production backbone of a real-world marketplace platform over 6+ years.

The platform combines distributed backend systems, real-time infrastructure, fiscal automation, multi-cloud deployment, and AI-driven operational workflows.

Core stack:

Docker NGINX MySQL InnoDB Cluster Stored Procedures Redis Kafka Debezium Swoole WebSockets Protobuf MsgPack Oracle Cloud JavaScript

Key work:

• Operated multi-node MySQL InnoDB Cluster with replication, stored procedures, backups, and production data reliability
• Designed event-driven architecture with Kafka, Redis, and Debezium
• Built high-concurrency backend systems using Swoole
• Implemented low-latency WebSocket pipelines with Protobuf and MsgPack
• Built AI-driven automation pipelines and agent workflows for real business operations

Reliability first. Observability always. Automation only matters when it survives production.

Control plane for fleets of Hermes agents.

Hermes Orchestrator explores how autonomous agents can be managed as real infrastructure rather than isolated scripts.

Focus areas:

• agent lifecycle management
• node isolation
• plugin-based execution
• logs and observability
• upgrade and rollback safety
• multi-agent coordination

Not just agents running.

Agents operating as infrastructure.

Contributor to Hermes-Agent by NousResearch.

My contributions focus on agent infrastructure, orchestration, runtime behavior, and production-oriented reliability.

Areas of interest:

• agent lifecycle design
• tool and capability surfaces
• validation before execution
• orchestration boundaries
• reliable agent workflows

Production-oriented deployment stack for self-hosted infrastructure using Docker, NGINX, Nextcloud, and iSCSI-backed storage.

Built and operated a production marketplace platform over 6+ years across backend, infrastructure, database reliability, real-time communication, fiscal automation, and AI-driven workflows.

Key engineering work:

• high-concurrency backend systems with Swoole
• multi-node MySQL InnoDB Cluster operations
• event-driven architecture with Kafka, Redis, and Debezium
• low-latency communication using WebSockets, Protobuf, and MsgPack
• deterministic automation workflows with validation loops
• multi-cloud infrastructure with Docker, NGINX, Oracle Cloud, and AWS

Worked at the intersection of business, enterprise clients, and technical solution design.

• Designed cloud and distributed architectures for enterprise clients
• Translated business needs into technical systems
• Led technical discussions and supported solution delivery

Led retail operations while building internal software, automation, and operational tooling.

This shaped how I build systems today: close to operations, close to failure modes, and close to the people who depend on the software.
