Software engineering and enterprise AI delivery
- Build and maintain TypeScript agents using the Botpress ADK, translating customer requirements into architecture, API integrations, integration tests and production handoff.
- Lead development of a reusable Shopify agent kit for product search, orders, returns and human handoff. Implemented three autonomy levels, human approval for refunds by default and 15-minute confirmation expiry.
- Automated store onboarding from a URL, including store-profile generation, checks against source prices and policies, typechecking, tests, deployment and draft pull-request creation.
- Designed, built and maintain Agentic Reporter for separate bot and company-policy CSAT scores, outcomes and semantic topics. Compute report figures in code; reject and retry drafts that cite unsupported numbers.
- Versioned grading prompts by hash to re-evaluate only changed questions. Added regrading limits, client/model cost tracking and reversible, append-only CSAT overrides.
- Maintain shared enterprise agent packages and delivery workflows. Built evaluations that test deployed agents through their communication channels and grade responses with LLM judges.
- Selected client delivery work. Visit London: live booking integrations with LTD and Ventrata APIs. Yamaha Motor Mexico: WhatsApp lead generation. Upside Drinks: bilingual French/English Shopify shopping assistant.

Google Agent Development Kit · TypeScript · Merged PR #1169
Fixed workflow inputs being saved as user-authored chat messages. Added temporary session input, cleanup in finally, and a regression test using the real Runner and session service.
AWS CDK CLI · TypeScript · Merged PR #2107
Fixed repeated single-value CLI options that could cause deployment to do nothing while exiting successfully. Added early validation and regression tests while preserving intentionally repeatable options.
AWS Bedrock AgentCore SDK · Python · Merged PR #718
Fixed memory serialization crashes involving binary reasoning content. Added lossless encoding and decoding, with a regression test verifying that stored messages restore the original bytes.
Genkit · TypeScript · Merged PR #6956
Corrected repeated registration of plugin-provided tools.
PR-Agent · Python · Merged PR #4603
Added commit-message context to AI review prompts, with token limits and untrusted-input boundaries.

Dear Hiring Team,
I build and maintain production AI software at Botpress, and I have contributed fixes merged into Google's Agent Development Kit and the AWS CDK CLI.
At Botpress, I lead development of a reusable Shopify agent kit covering shopping, orders, returns and human handoff. My work includes automated store onboarding, checks against source prices and policies, and approval controls for refunds. I also designed and built Agentic Reporter, a conversation analytics product that computes report figures in code and rejects generated drafts containing unsupported numbers.
My upstream contributions provide public examples of how I approach correctness. In AWS CDK, I fixed repeated CLI arguments that could cause a deployment to perform no work while returning a successful exit code. In Google ADK, I fixed internal workflow inputs being persisted as messages the user never sent. Both changes were merged and include regression tests. The pull requests document the failure cases, implementation choices and tests.
I'm looking for a role where I can take responsibility for production software, work directly with the people using it, and turn recurring problems into reusable tools. I would welcome a technical discussion of these systems and the decisions behind them.
