An Agent Engineer with a strong foundation in software architecture. I specialize in integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into real-world workflows to build efficient, stable AI agent products and cross-platform clients. With deep expertise in Agent Skills, Memory, and RAG, combined with solid engineering experience in desktop and frontend architecture (Vite+, Electron, Rust), I focus on building observable, recoverable systems while maintaining a high delivery rhythm.

AI Engineering

A complete engineering loop across Skills, Harness, Memory, and RAG

Encapsulating model capabilities into Skills, connecting external tools via MCP, and managing session memory in an observable harness — the foundation for shipping reliable, production-grade agents.

Agent Skills & Tools

Encapsulate domain actions into reusable agent skills and connect external capabilities via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Design tool-calling layers with approval workflows, structured output, and streaming interactions, leveraging sub-agents to break down complex tasks.

Agent Harness & Architecture

Treat the harness as the product layer that decides how much of a model's capability actually ships — the same engineering path Anthropic (Claude Code) and Cursor bet on. Build production-ready agent runtimes covering session management, state-machine scheduling, lifecycle hooks, approval-gated tool execution with per-profile allowlists, event sourcing, and automatic recovery of interrupted runs.

Memory & Context Engineering

Manage LLM contexts efficiently. Utilize short-term memory, graph-based context, prompt caching, and token budget control to balance multi-hop reasoning quality with computational costs.

RAG & Retrieval

Construct multi-dimensional knowledge retrieval pipelines. Combine text chunking, vector embeddings, full-text search, and inverted indexes, optimized with LLM reranking strategies to ensure the accuracy and traceability of generated content.

DCS Procurement AI Workflow

Workflow design / full-stack · 2026.03 - present

A multi-agent decision workflow for hotel procurement, covering the full loop of bid collection, review scoring, contract review and archival audit. Owned the full stack — agent runtime, backend services and the React workbench — turning expert-grade review methodology into an auditable, replayable automated decision process.

  • Designed a collaboration architecture of a supervisor agent plus multiple specialist review sub-agents, each owning one of the technical, commercial and contract-compliance review chains.
  • Worked with domain professors to encode supply-chain, negotiation and legal-compliance review methodology into each sub-agent's scoring rubric and expert-role persona, so every sub-agent reviews from an explainable, discipline-specific perspective.
  • Built a Slock-style 'group-chat' collaboration layer for the sub-agents: each is a persistent member with its own identity and memory that joins a shared channel, exchanges structured messages over a shared context, and is coordinated by the supervisor through turn-taking and @-mention handoffs — so the specialist agents deliberate over a single bid in one room and converge on a review verdict.

Etyon Desktop AI Workbench

Agent Engineer (Architecture Focus) · 2026.05 - present

A local-first desktop agent workbench built around a robust, recoverable agent harness — visual chat, workspace tools, approvals, observable run records — from which I distilled a standardized, reusable desktop application architecture.

  • Designed and implemented the core agent runtime (harness layer), separating model calls, context assembly, tool execution, approvals, sub-agent delegation, and event logging into observable, recoverable modules, with multi-provider support (Anthropic, OpenAI, AI Gateway — including an API-mode toggle and a proxy-aware network layer).
  • Deliberately narrowed the workspace tool surface to a minimal, auditable set (read / ls / grep / edit / write, with writes gated by approval), and paired it with secret-path filtering and secret redaction before any tool data is persisted (API keys and tokens auto-scrubbed), keeping execution risk contained and auditable.
  • Built the Run Inspector and a durable pending-approvals list: each assistant message opens that run's tool calls and event timeline, and pending approvals resume across app restarts (auto-expiring after 7 days).

Internal knowledge agentic system

Agent Engineer · 2025.01 - present

A personal knowledge management and spaced repetition system featuring agent-assisted chat, an advanced retrieval backbone, graph-based context, and cross-platform rich-text editing.

  • Designed a Mastra agent-driven architecture that safely executes business-data mutations through sandboxed tool calls with approval gates (data-mutating tools require approval; read-only tools stay ungated).
  • Architected a multi-path retrieval engine combining LLM query rewriting, full-text search, title match, tag inverted indexes and pgvector embeddings, enhanced by a precise LLM reranking strategy.
  • Developed a knowledge graph engine using xyflow, converting references and tags into high-density context to improve multi-hop reasoning across extensive notes.

Agent Engineer · 2025.11 - present

A Claude Code-style AI coding assistant incorporating session management, diverse tools, plan-and-execute workflows, and context compaction.

  • Led the architectural design, coding standards, and initial plugin selection for the AI coding harness.
  • Engineered the core session module to robustly manage context, state transitions, lifecycles, and data flow.
  • Built an interactive TUI/CLI layer supporting streaming text output, syntax highlighting, and keyboard-driven commands.
