About

I am the Co-Founder and CTO of EYwALink, where we specialize in turning business concepts into concrete value. By bridging theoretical models and practical, production-ready AI agentic systems, I help organizations operationalize Agentic AI at scale. My work combines hands-on leadership in agentic engineering with strategic enterprise architecture consulting.

From a Security Incident to Reconsidering Enterprise Agent Boundaries

Why agent boundaries are the new enterprise security perimeter, the real cross-tenant incident that exposed the gap, and the isolation tiers that actually hold. The application boundary is only as strong as the identity underneath it.

The Cost of Running an AI Lab in Local AI

Running Eywalink, an AI company, is cheap at the model layer and expensive everywhere else. Over eight months, one Mac and a server of RTX...

From One Agent to a Company of Agents

A coding agent is a tool you invoke. A company of agents is a system that runs. After a year of running EyWALink and its multiple client tenants as agent-run companies — every role an agent, every task an issue, every invocation a heartbeat — the lesson is that the model was never the hard part. The control plane was.

When Your Agent Says "Done"

TL;DR: My own verification script marked a half-finished project complete. That ended the trust-based workflow. Now completion is an observable fact: a task queue, executable...

How I Built a Digital Twin of Myself That Actually Scales

Four iterations of building a digital twin of myself, an AI mirror of who I am, what I know, and how I think. It compounds over time without exploding context windows or leaking data to the cloud.

Private AI Must be part of the Enterprise AI Strategy

TL;DR: The real strategic question isn’t “Which LLM vendor?” It’s “Who owns your AI intelligence?” Exclusive reliance on public cloud AI introduces compliance exposure, fragments...

Managing Context Overflow in AI Coding Agents

Context overflow is an architecture problem. When coding in a large project codebase, context windows kill agent sessions mid-task. Here's how I architect handoff files, subagent delegation, and task decomposition to keep coding agents productive across session boundaries.
