Connected systems.
I help CTOs and engineering leaders orchestrate the tools their teams already rely on, add control layers around AI execution, and ship cross-system workflows that stay reliable in production.
How I Work
Three escalation lanes: Workflow Infrastructure, Reliability and Control Layer, and Enterprise Extension.
Workflow Infrastructure
I build the integration and workflow logic for the operations that matter most, with clear trust boundaries and production-ready behavior.
Reliability and Control Layer
I add evals, release gates, policy rules, and incident reviews so automation stays reliable as workflow scope expands.
Enterprise Extension
For high-stakes workflows, I build orchestration layers across systems, with governance and traceability that native automation cannot yet provide.
What's Included
Start with workflow infrastructure, add reliability controls as risk grows, and extend for enterprise constraints.
Workflow Infrastructure
Workflow infrastructure designed specifically for your business rules and trust boundaries.
- Workflow endpoints
- Business-rule mapping
- Secure auth boundaries
- Handoff artifacts
Reliability and Control Layer
The reliability layer for production automation. Evals, release checks, and policy controls.
- Pre-release quality gates
- Policy and approval boundaries
- Postmortem loops
- Monthly tuning
Enterprise Extension
Beyond native limits. Architecture and orchestration for strict governance constraints.
- Cross-system orchestration
- Auditability controls
- Deterministic retries
- Architecture support
The Model
Native agent features are getting easier to adopt. That is good for teams and good for velocity.
The hard gap remains workflow-specific logic, reliability controls, and cross-system orchestration. That is where .agency compounds value.
Hub MCP routes execution. Reliability controls decide what can run safely.
When a client primarily needs full system development and team onboarding, I refer that engagement to Half Dozen directly.
Reliable workflows are the product. Operational leverage is the outcome.
Trust Artifacts
Contract Pack
Every engagement ships with mcp_contract.yaml, agent_contract.yaml, and outcome_contract.md so scope, behavior,
and outcomes are explicit.
Release Evidence
Golden task definitions and pass/fail results are documented before release. Reliability is gated by evidence, not intuition.
Operations Runbook
Approval paths, escalation triggers, rollback steps, and ownership boundaries are delivered as operating artifacts your team can run.
