Selected work

Agentic AI systems, LLM platforms, and data pipelines — built for production, measured by outcomes.

TaxPilot — Visible AI Tax Agent

An AI agent that picks the right tax calculator and shows its work.

  • 43 MCP tools orchestrated
  • Streaming NDJSON event protocol
  • Guardrails, replay fallback, cost caps
