Agents that act, not just answer.

Eleven years in product, the last three building agentic AI platforms that enterprises and their partners actually ship on: composable agent workflows at Aisera, and an MCP-based marketplace with 50+ agents and 20+ connectors serving 1M+ users at RingCentral.

How an enterprise agent completes a request

Follow one request end to end. The console on the right replays a real workflow pattern; each step of the story lights up the part of the trace it describes.

1

It starts with a person, in their own words

No form, no ticket category, no "please select from the following." The agent takes the request as it is spoken and works out what is really being asked.

2

The agent plans before it touches anything

Which systems hold the answer, in what order to ask them, and what a good outcome looks like. The plan is visible, so a human can see the reasoning before anything happens.

3

It reads from the systems of record

Identity, endpoint, security, CRM, support, HRIS. Each call is scoped to what the requesting person is allowed to see, and each result is kept with its source.

4

Policy decides: do it, ask, or escalate

This gate is the product. Routine, low-risk actions run. Privileged ones route to the right approver. Nothing ambiguous happens silently.

5

Something actually changes

An account is unlocked, a brief is delivered, a laptop is ordered. The person is told what happened and why, and the trail is there for anyone who needs it later.

Three things I have learned to ship well

Most "AI assistants" stop at a chat window. The hard product work starts when the model has to read from ten systems, decide what to do, and be trusted to do it. That is the layer I own.

Agent platforms partners can build on

Composable, self-serve agentic platforms: at Aisera, System Integrators deployed custom multi-agent workflows without our engineers in the room; at RingCentral, a 144-tool marketplace is becoming a headless, API-first ecosystem for ISVs and consultants.

  • Headless, API-first platform strategy
  • Multi-agent orchestration blueprints
  • Partner enablement that shortened implementation 42%

MCP and the enterprise connector layer

Agents are only as useful as what they can reach. I have shipped 20+ enterprise MCP connectors, the first six in a single quarter, and set the reference architecture third-party developers now onboard against, plus a management platform that meters and bills for what partners consume.

  • 20+ connectors: Salesforce, Anaplan, DocuSign, Concur, Atlassian, ACE and more
  • Reference architecture for third-party developers
  • Usage-based billing for MCP consumption

Trust, telemetry, and proof of value

The work that gets an agent past the CISO and the CFO. An AI security agent that statically scans partner code and gates onboarding; telemetry that diagnoses agent behavior for partners; and a three-phase ROI system so GTM teams and resellers can report productivity in numbers.

  • Security agent cut deployment friction 35%
  • Feedback loops cut abandonment 27%
  • Calibration loops, leaderboards, audit logging

Selected work

Five products across two companies, one thread: give agents real access to enterprise systems, let partners build on them, and engineer the trust needed to let them act. Open any project for the full case study.

Agent marketplace and MCP ecosystem · RingCentral · Dec 2025–present

AI Garage: turning a 144-tool marketplace into a headless, API-first agent ecosystem

The platform where partners, consultants, and internal teams discover, build, secure, and monetize AI agents, with the trust and measurement layers built into the pipeline rather than bolted on.

The problem
Demand for AI tools was outrunning any team's ability to review, host, and account for them. 144 tools, 50+ agents, a growing partner base, and no shared way to onboard third-party code safely, measure what it was worth, or charge for what it consumed.
What I built
The strategic roadmap moving the marketplace to a headless, API-first model. 20+ enterprise MCP connectors, the first six (Salesforce, Anaplan, DocuSign, Concur, Atlassian, ACE) shipped in a single quarter as the reference architecture for third-party developers. An AI security agent that statically scans partner code and gates onboarding. A three-phase ROI system with calibration loops, leaderboards, and audit logging for GTM teams and resellers. A telemetry engine capturing session and interaction-quality data across the ecosystem. An MCP management platform with usage-based billing.
  • Ecosystem supports 1M+ end users, 50+ live agents, and 50+ ISV and consultant partners
  • Security gating reduced third-party deployment friction by 35% without loosening platform trust
  • Usage-based billing aligned partner monetization with platform consumption
Composable agentic platform · Aisera · Aug 2023–Dec 2025

Self-serve agent workflows that System Integrators deploy without us

An agentic AI platform designed so partners could compose, ship, and tune multi-agent workflows for their own enterprise customers, and see for themselves how those agents behaved in production.

The problem
Every SI engagement needed vendor engineers to build custom workflows, and every tuning cycle needed vendor data scientists to explain why an agent was failing. That does not scale to a partner channel.
What I built
Composable, self-serve building blocks for custom agent workflows. Analytics and feedback loops that diagnose agent behavior and hand partners the telemetry to fix abandonment themselves. Multi-agent orchestration patterns and best-practice blueprints, delivered through targeted pre-sales enablement.
  • $150M+ in mutual business value driven through the partner channel
  • Abandonment cut 27%; partners raised task-success rates independently
  • Implementation time down 42%; deal closure accelerated 26%
Multi-domain assistant · RingCentral · Built on Claude

Ringo: one assistant for IT, HR, Sales, Finance, and Support

A single agentic front door that routes a user's request to the right domain, pulls context from the systems behind it, and completes the task, from resetting access to preparing a seller for a customer call.

The problem
Every function was about to build its own chatbot. Users would have faced five assistants with five vocabularies, and the company would have paid for five sets of connectors, evals, and security reviews.
What I built
The platform thesis and its connector/domain architecture; the roadmap through multiple rebrands and relaunches; the Workday connector requirements; the connector landscape that lets stakeholders see coverage at a glance; and a recurring executive status cadence so the program stayed funded.
  • Five domains live on one runtime: IT Support, HR & People, Sales Hub, Finance, and customer-facing Support
  • Surfaced data-integrity issues in adoption dashboards and reset how success was measured, rather than let inflated numbers stand
Agentic IT operations · RingCentral · 2026

Agent-first troubleshooting that resolves before a ticket exists

An agent that already knows your device, your identity, your network, and your history the moment you say "something's wrong", diagnoses it, fixes what it is allowed to fix, and opens a fully enriched ticket only when a human is truly needed.

The problem
IT agents opened every ticket blind. The first fifteen minutes of each case was spent asking the user questions that seven different systems could already answer.
What I built
A four-phase program: connect all seven platforms; enrich every ticket with user, device, security, and network context plus an AI summary and remediation steps; add historical pattern intelligence; then invert the flow so the agent diagnoses first and files second. Scoped as a 30-day delivery, all four phases.
  • Seven platforms connected: ManageEngine, CrowdStrike, Mist, Okta, Freshservice, Zscaler, Office 365
  • Every new ticket arrives pre-enriched with an AI summary and suggested remediation
Federated knowledge graph · Architecture in progress

Enterprise Brain: letting an agent reason across Salesforce, NetSuite, Concur, Anaplan, and DocuSign at once

The questions leaders actually ask ("what do we really spend with this vendor, what did we sign, and what did we plan?") never live in one system. This is the graph that lets an agent answer them without moving the data.

The wedge
A large vendor renewal. One negotiation, five systems of record, and a concrete dollar outcome to measure the graph against, rather than a boil-the-ocean data project.
My role
Architecting the federation model, the entity resolution across platforms, and the agent-facing query layer; sequencing the build so value shows up at the first negotiation, not the fifth.
  • Companion work: a personal autonomous executive-assistant agent using Okta non-human identity and a two-body identity model (Entra user + service principal), with a commitment ledger as its core memory
  • Both projects share one question: how does an agent hold the right permissions, remember the right things, and stay accountable?

What I believe about agents

Working positions, earned from shipping. I am writing each of these up in more depth.

Your proxy metrics decay faster than you think

Thumbs-up rates and resolution counts drift away from real user value within weeks of launch, and the dashboards keep smiling. Agent products need a standing practice for detecting that decay, and a culture willing to reset the numbers when it happens.

The approval gate is the product

An agent that does everything autonomously is a liability; one that asks permission for everything is a chatbot with extra steps. The design work is deciding, per action and per role, what runs, what asks, and what escalates.

Identity is the bottleneck, not intelligence

Models are already capable enough for most enterprise workflows. What blocks deployment is who the agent is when it touches a system of record. Non-human identity, scoped service principals, and audit trails are where agent programs are won or stalled.

Experience

Eleven years across two continents: engineer, then product manager, then three years building agentic AI platforms that partners and enterprises ship on.
