01
System Requirements
Define success before you build. Align on constraints, edge cases, and scope with stakeholders. Catch failure modes before they become structural.
02
Product Planning
Translate requirements into roadmap and specs. Scope, risk tolerance, and milestones locked before build starts.
03
System Architecture
Design for failure modes, not the happy path. Distributed platforms, LLM pipelines, perception stacks built to hold under load and degradation.
04
AI Workflow
Building agentic systems end-to-end. LLM pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, MCP integrations. Automation that compounds and cuts iteration from weeks to hours.
05
Eval & Testing
Staged validation: sim before hardware, hardware before live. Integration harnesses and statistical characterization. Validation is the confidence function, not a checkbox.
06
Monitoring + Observability
Observability from day one. Metrics, alerts, and go/no-go criteria baked in. Shipped means nothing if you can't see it running.
