Most AI projects do not fail because the model is weak.
They fail because the system around it is weak.
Poor context. No memory strategy. Unreliable integrations. No evaluation. No fallback logic.
When I build AI agents, I focus on the full system around the model, not just the prompt.
That usually means backend APIs, structured context, RAG, tool integrations, queues, databases, monitoring, and clear failure handling.

Recent work: AI product design, a bank’s innovation lab, and brand and jersey design for cycling expeditions in Patagonia.
