Takes LLM prototypes to production by defining concrete constraints (latency, cost ceilings, reliability) and modularizing prompt/tool/state layers
Prioritizes reliability, observability, and clear ownership to build trust in production LLM systems
Systematic real-time debugging of agentic/LLM workflows using trace-based visibility and failure-bucket classification (retrieval, tool calling, orchestration, state, prompts, infra)
Designs pragmatic mitigations (guardrails, max-iteration caps, loop detection) to prevent runaway tool-calling and cost/latency spikes
Adapts technical demos/workshops to audience needs with step-by-step traces, live walkthroughs, and intentionally breaking flows to teach failure modes
Bridges sales and engineering by de-risking adoption via tailored architecture discussions and high-risk pilots that convert skeptical customers
