I break things with AI agents, so you don't have to.

AI engineer. Been in this rabbit hole since before it was cool. I started with the math of deep learning when in college, now I ship enterprise-grade AI systems for a living. The obsession never changed, just the scale. Writing here so you don't have to learn everything the hard way.
