LangGraph- and Fleet-based agents with explicit state, tool boundaries, deep research, and human review.

  • LangGraph
  • LangSmith Fleet
  • MCP
  • H2O Super Agents
Evidence: ShiftIQ + ClinIQ
02

Evaluation, observability & safety

Agent tracing, groundedness checks, responsible-AI guardrails, privacy boundaries, and explicit failure behavior.

  • Arize
  • LangSmith
  • Responsible AI
  • OWASP LLM
Evidence: ClinIQ + field notes
03

AI platform architecture

Production service boundaries, model routing, typed APIs, identity, containers, and scalable delivery patterns.

04 / Selected work

Systems you can inspect, not just claims you can read.

Three complementary examples show how I frame boundaries, make consequential decisions, and leave evidence behind for the next reviewer.

AI agents / developer platform

ShiftIQ

Open-source agent platform

Code migrations require coordinated analysis, planning, and validation without letting autonomous changes outrun human review.

Fleet agentsAnalyze + plan
Dry runReview proposed diff
ApplyCheckpoint + rollback
Fleet coordinates bounded analysis and migration agents across CLI, API, MCP, and UI surfaces. Target code is analyzed without import or execution.

My contribution

Architected and built a Fleet-powered agent platform for codebase analysis and migrations, with CLI, API, MCP surfaces, checkpoints, and sensitive-pattern scanning.

Use case

Engineering teams assessing and applying code migrations.

Evidence-backed outcome

The repository uses Fleet to coordinate the bounded workflow across CLI, FastAPI, MCP tools, and UI surfaces. Generated migrations still require human review.

Inspect constraints and decision

Constraints

  • No target-code execution
  • Review before apply
  • Redacted scan findings
  • Recoverable changes

Decision / consequence

Use Fleet to coordinate bounded agents while keeping dry-run as the default and requiring an explicit apply step backed by a rollback checkpoint.

Agent handoffs and human review add latency, but make each proposed change traceable, inspectable, and recoverable.

Computer vision / evaluation

Groundfish recognition

Graduate research

Recognizing groundfish across image collections is difficult when underwater datasets are limited and visually inconsistent.

01Underwater frameCross-database input
02YOLOv8Locate the fish
03ResNet-50Classify the crop
Reported result94.10% mAPThesis evaluation workload
The research pipeline takes an underwater frame, localizes the fish with YOLOv8, and classifies the crop with ResNet-50.

My contribution

Graduate researcher and thesis author; developed and evaluated a cross-database recognition pipeline.

Use case

Fisheries and computer-vision researchers exploring automated species recognition.

Evidence-backed outcome

The UMass Dartmouth research reports 94.10% mAP and 92.14% classification accuracy on its evaluated workload. These are thesis results, not production benchmarks.

Inspect constraints and decision

Constraints

  • Limited underwater data
  • Cross-database variation
  • Detection + classification
  • Research-only evaluation

Decision / consequence

Separate localization with YOLOv8 from classification with ResNet-50.

Two stages can be evaluated independently, but errors from detection can propagate into classification.

05 / Engineering approach

Make the invisible parts reviewable.

Model choice is one decision. Scope, evaluation, failure behavior, and operating boundaries determine whether the whole system can be trusted.

01

Architecture

Boundaries before breadth

Scope retrieval, identity, and data movement before adding more model capability.

Evidence: ClinIQ

02

Evaluation

Failure paths are product paths

Test unsupported questions, access rules, masking, and groundedness, not only happy-path answers.

Evidence: ClinIQ evaluation pack

03

Delivery

Make change inspectable

Use bounded Fleet agents, dry-runs, checkpoints, and human review when automation can alter code or policy.

Evidence: ShiftIQ

04

Observability

Operate what you ship

Track latency, cost, answer quality, and agent behavior as production signals, not afterthoughts.

Evidence: AT&T + InferIQ

System walkthrough · ClinIQ

One request, four guarded stages.

Verified repo

01 / Ask

A staff member asks a policy question. The interface can request clarification before retrieval when patient or department context is ambiguous.

Decision: separate department indexes make the access boundary explicit, at the cost of more index management.

A ClinIQ policy request is clarified, checked against role and department scope, retrieved from an allowed knowledge index, graded for relevance, generated with citations, and verified for groundedness before the answer is returned.
