A working prototype gives you something to learn from. Taking it into production means understanding the complete system around the agent: identity, data, tools, execution, evaluation, and operations. I work with founders and engineering teams to build that foundation around a clearly scoped product.
Define what production means for your product
We start with the users, tasks, deployment environment, and consequences of failure. Together, we define the behavior the product needs to support and the evidence that will show it is ready for the agreed use case. This makes reliability and quality concrete engineering decisions.
Build the application and the system around it
The work can include agent orchestration, MCP applications and gateways, isolated execution, identity, and integrations. I make the boundaries between those components explicit so the team can reason about permissions, state, credentials, and external actions.
Evaluate, observe, and prepare to operate
We use representative tasks and failure cases to examine the product’s behavior. The implementation includes the operating visibility and recovery paths appropriate to the scope. Documentation and handover cover the architecture, known limitations, and how the team can develop it further.
What we scope together
Deliverables are agreed around your needs. A typical scope can include:
An implemented product scope
Working application and infrastructure components for the agreed use case and deployment environment.
Readiness evidence
Evaluations, integration checks, and documented limits against the acceptance criteria agreed with your team.
A foundation your team can own
Code, architecture documentation, operating guidance, and a direct technical handover.
Before we begin
Can you take over from an existing prototype?
Yes. I first review the prototype, architecture, and intended use. We identify what can be carried forward and scope the work needed for the next stage.
Can you work alongside our engineers?
Yes. I can collaborate with your team on a defined implementation or architecture problem. We agree responsibilities, review points, and the handover before starting.
Does production readiness mean the agent will never make a mistake?
Readiness is assessed against a defined use case and acceptance criteria. Evaluations, review boundaries, observability, and recovery paths help the team understand and manage the product’s behavior in use.
