Sherpa Digital

Senior Architect (AI platform)

Senior architect at an agency that builds AI systems for clients, from scoping the problem through to production. The main account is a regulated gambling operator: their core internal AI platform on AWS, under GDPR and Dutch gambling regulation.

  1. Build a regulated gambling operator's core internal AI platform on AWS, using Bedrock AgentCore for agent runtime, memory, and identity.
  2. Establish the platform's MCP infrastructure: the egress APIs are exposed as MCP servers, consumed by Bedrock agents running Anthropic models, alongside a set of shared agent skills.
  3. Work with the client directly, from assessing where AI genuinely fits to presenting the architecture and its trade-offs to business and compliance stakeholders.
  4. Build and ship 8 systems as the only engineer on the account, 3 of them now in production.
  5. Run two production systems on LangGraph: chose it over AWS Strands for one agent system, and again for the non-AWS stack, where having already used it was the deciding factor.
  6. Build RBAC-controlled RAG assistants and knowledge-base tools with human review, web crawlers, and sanitization checks.
  7. Train custom sequence-tagging models (GECToR-style) for a copy-compliance system that makes up to 200 edits per campaign, checking text against internal policy and gambling law.
  8. Build ERP-integrated batch-payment checks with digital signatures and audit trails, player-welfare risk assessment on highly sensitive personal data, and automated legal screening for new betting markets.
  9. Define the platform's infrastructure as code in AWS CDK: serverless across the agent and data services, with ECS where a long-running container suits the work better.
  10. Build the VPC networking and ingress/egress controls, defined in Terraform, that keep regulated data inside the compliance boundary.
  11. Work to AWS best practice, with architecture reviewed by the client's AWS-partner engineering team.

Theseuslabs

Co-Founder & CTO

Technical founder. Leads architecture and engineering for three products: a Rust learning platform, a creator fan-token platform, and a knowledge-base chat product.

  1. Build rust-skill.com, a Rust learning platform in Next.js and TypeScript, with multi-agent workflows on LangGraph across Claude and OpenAI.
  2. Integrate a Rust code-analysis engine for compiler-accurate evaluation, running user-submitted code in a containerised execution environment on ECS.
  3. Design the TypeScript backend, including vector search, content pipelines, and adaptive difficulty.
  4. Implement multi-agent workflows on LangGraph that generate challenges, evaluate solutions, and adjust difficulty.
  5. Deliver MVP in three months and onboard the first paying subscribers.
  6. Build curve.fan (FanCurve), a creator fan-token platform on the Internet Computer: eight Rust canister types with per-creator ICRC-1 ledgers, bonding-curve pricing, sharded user profiles, and automated cycle management.
  7. Ship curve.fan's Next.js 16 frontend with multi-chain auth (Internet Identity, Sign-In With Ethereum, Solana) and an Axum analytics microservice on Cloud Run backed by Postgres, GCS, and BigQuery.
  8. Build Buffel, a knowledge-base chat product: a LangGraph ReAct agent that answers over scraped and chunked document databases using nine tools across web search, crawling and RAG. Runs on Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, in Next.js with Supabase and Stripe.
