02 — What I do
Four disciplines, one toolkit.
Agentic AI & MCP
Multi-agent systems, tool calling and structured outputs. Turning APIs and schemas into MCP tools agents can use safely.
RAG & Retrieval
Hybrid dense + BM25 search, reciprocal rank fusion and LLM reranking over documents, with answer verification.
LLM Infrastructure & LLMOps
OpenAI-compatible gateways, streaming, cost tracking, provider health and fallback, observability and deployment.
Voice AI & Full-Stack
Real-time speech pipelines on LiveKit and SIP, and the React / Next.js products that wrap the models.
