Projects & impact

Production systems I've designed and shipped — measured in cost saved, calls deflected, and pipelines that just keep running.

Personal projects

Built outside of work to explore and ship new tech hands-on.

Autonomous Digital Creator Agent

Agentic AI that researches, writes, publishes & promotes — fully autonomously

Built an end-to-end Agentic AI system that runs with zero human input: it discovers trending Google Cloud topics, writes a 1,000–2,000 word SEO-optimized article, generates a cover image with Imagen 4, publishes to Blogger, cross-posts to Facebook, and pings Google's Indexing API — all autonomously. The architecture uses an orchestrator agent that delegates to three specialist agents over the A2A protocol.
