I design distributed systems that stay up — and ship the agentic products that run on them.

Sixteen years across healthcare and financial services, most recently as Technical Architect and Engineering Manager at AthenaHealth: a platform serving 50M+ requests a day at 99.99% uptime, an ECS-to-EKS migration run hands-on, and clinical interoperability with Cerner, CommonWell and CareQuality over HL7 FHIR.

I now take that work on directly — architecture, agentic systems, and end-to-end delivery for teams that need the thing built, not just diagrammed.

Agentic AI

Your agentic journey, taken to production

Most agent projects stall between the demo and the deployment: no evaluation harness, no cost ceiling, no idea what happens when a tool call fails at 2am. That gap is an architecture problem, and it is the one I solve.

How I work on agents →
Agent architecture

Tool boundaries, state, retries and human checkpoints designed as a system — not a prompt chain.

Evaluation and guardrails

Golden sets, regression gates in CI, refusal and escalation paths, PII handling for regulated data.

Cost and latency control

Model routing, caching, batching and token budgets, with per-tenant spend visible in Datadog.

Spec-driven delivery

The workflow that cut cycle time 60% across 35 engineers, installed in your team's own repos.

Puneet arrived with a diagram and left us with a running platform. Six months in, the payments core has not had a Sev-1.
