- Design chatbots and assistants that can serve thousands of concurrent users with predictable latency cost and uptime.
- Architect agent ecosystems using MCP for tool and data access and A2A for agent-to-agent collaboration.
- Drive rapid iterative delivery: get to a working MVP quickly then harden load test and take the product to production readiness.
