I build AI that acts in the real world.
Every claim below is followed by the artifact that proves it. Evidence class is printed next to each one.
Not chatbots — autonomous agents that operate robots, run real operations, and ship to production, with the safety layers that make it survivable.
Not a system capture
Three evidence classes are used on this page. Verifiable means you can open it now. Attested means a third party signed it. Self-reported means it is my own count and you should treat it as such.
Figures as of July 2026
Calling this prompt engineering is a disservice to both of us.
Anyone can generate a demo. The engineering is everything after — the safety layer, the failure modes, the handover, the thing still running six months later.
I scope. I staff. I architect. I delegate. I review. I unblock. I ship. I operate.
read the logs · write the tests · take the pager · fix it myself
I do both. That is the job.
The rest of this page is the file. — exhibits.
Platforms I have built and shipped.
Open-source where I can show it, client and proprietary where I cannot. The private ones are marked and unlinked — I am not going to pretend otherwise.
A safety-first MCP server for ROS2 robots — a guarded bridge that lets AI agents command physical systems without driving them off a cliff. Velocity limits, geofencing, e-stop and full audit logging.

A 3D visual AI development agency — watch a team of Claude-powered agents build real software inside an interactive office. Three.js meets multi-agent.
Multi-agent
A full robotics platform — 2D-LiDAR feature detection with a custom 1D-CNN, a real-time robot control app (FastAPI + Socket.IO, three-phase handshake), a ROS2 client, app store and mobile layer. ~1,580 commits across a dozen repos. Architecture drawn below, EX-10.
2D-LiDAR · 1D-CNN
Gives an AI agent eyes on the open web — search & read the web, YouTube, GitHub and Hacker News from one CLI, with zero API fees.
CLI · MCP
A strategy-driven trading system (v5.2.4, deployed) — mirrors fund signals through ETFs via IBKR, with an options-hedging layer, a backtest engine, and a Claude API risk layer with hard spend caps.
v5.2.4 deployed
A data & analytics platform on AWS Amplify Gen2 — a component-first framework so AI and humans can ship features without getting stuck on UI, plus a control center and mobile app.
AWS Amplify Gen2
A self-hosted, no-code autonomous-agent platform — connect services, describe an automation in plain English, and it runs on schedules and webhooks with a self-correcting feedback loop.
Next.js · AI SDK
A multi-agent job-search system, open-sourced and translated into 7+ languages. Companies use AI to filter candidates — this gives candidates AI to choose companies.

A commanded path, then a base that travels it.
Rigid-body translation and yaw only — exactly what a differential-drive base can physically do,
and nothing it cannot.
It only moves while you scroll, and reverses when you scroll back. This is a diagram, not footage.
The safety layer between an agent and these motors is physical-mcp — see EX-01.
A robotics platform, end to end.
Private client system.

Ricardo consistently exceeds expectations. His attention to detail is unparalleled — he catches the smallest issues others overlook, always delivers on time and with the highest accuracy, and his contributions significantly improved our project's overall quality. Truly an asset to any team.

I stopped being the bottleneck.
At Chinchilla AI I direct people and manage projects. I decide what gets built, who builds it, and what does not ship — holding the architecture and the standard while other people do the work, and staying accountable when it lands badly.
