TypeScriptAI SDKRAGAI AgentsLangfuse

Developed an AI caregiving assistant using AI SDK v6, combining RAG over managed content, web search tools, long-term memory and conversation persistence to deliver personalized support for 1M+ caregivers.

Built Agent QA - a deterministic testing framework for production AI agents, enabling YAML-based multi-turn scenario testing across tool calls, database mutations, conversation flow, token usage and hallucinations. Added multi-run reliability analysis, A/B testing, LLM-as-a-judge, per-agent token attribution and a Langfuse integration to improve observability, reliability and cost efficiency.

Inngest|April 2025 - November 2025
TypeScriptAI AgentsReactMCP

Developed AgentKit - a Typescript framework for building real-time durable agents that can pause/resume reliably via checkpointing, deterministic routing, persisted state and MCP tooling - primarily designed for long-running background agents and deployable via Inngest's durable execution platform across all major cloud providers.

Integrated long-term memory and conversation persistence via a database-agnostic history adapter to resume agent runs reliably across executions. Shipped human-in-the-loop workflow capabilities - enabling agents to pause for user input/approval and continue execution inside durable functions.

Shipped a React SDK for durable, real-time streaming and thread management - enabling rapid development of production-grade agent UIs. Extended developer tooling for fine-grained agent observability including run tracing, token-usage inspection and reruns with modified prompts at any step in an agentic workflow.
