Full-stack TypeScript-focused engineer/entrepreneur with lots of experience in building scalable single page apps in different frameworks, web3, multiplayer web games, building transformers and other networks, all sorts of things. Product-oriented, executive and leadership experience, comfortable in both autonomous and collaborative settings, capable Linux sysadmin. I know how to ship, end to end.

I've focused for several years now on agentic and generative work such as simulating networked LLM-augmented embodied agents, interface research, too much to list here but always happy to talk more over email. While the rest of the industry is just starting to latch onto agentic systems, I can offer years of experience, product insight and leadership.

Available for consulting, startups, projects, anything web or agentic.

I have 12+ YOE in design, including a 7 year stint as a founding designer at an acquired startup. The past couple of years I've done design at a very engineering-heavy company so I'm pretty well versed in development. Designed & shipped a new design system with Claude Code and can prototype and ship ideas.

Technologies: Python, Ruby on Rails, OpenAI Agents SDK, agentic/multi-agent systems, RAG/Agentic RAG, evals (LLM-as-judge + code-based), Anthropic/OpenAI/Etc APIs, LiteLLM, PostgreSQL + pgvector, Redis, Sidekiq, React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, Docker

Résumé/CV: https://gerson.is

Email: gersonazgo@gmail.com

AI Engineer and two-time founder, ~20 years in software. My whole career has been about being a sole engineer or leading small teams (4-5 people), gathering requirements from non-technical people, and turning those into production applications.

Currently I'm a sole AI engineer working directly with clinicians at a startup building a clinical "between sessions" AI agent on WhatsApp. I built it as a multi-agent system: a router assesses each conversation for clinical risk and directs it to specialized agents, with strategies to escalate high-risk cases to human professionals. I also built the RAG pipeline and an evaluation framework from scratch (LLM-as-a-judge plus code-based evaluators, synthetic trace generation, continuous production-trace analysis, all with Arize Phoenix), drawing on clinical safety benchmarks like VERA-MH (Spring Health) and TherapyGym.

My background pairs engineering with business (B.A. in Marketing), so the customer-facing half is something I'm very comfortable with.

  Location: Brazil (UTC-3, overlaps US hours)
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to Relocate: Yes (US preferred)
  Technologies: SQL Server, DBT, SQL Mesh, PostgreSQL, SQL, OLTP & OLAP, cloud optimization, query optimization, large-table migrations, F#, Clojure, Python, C#, C, Java, Ruby, Rust, Prolog, OCaml, Haskell
  Email: ebellani at gmail

I specialize in rescuing and scaling PostgreSQL systems that have become bottlenecks due to schema debt, growth, or operational complexity. Recent work: re-architected two multi-terabyte OLTP tables (~2TB and ~1TB) handling 200+ writes/sec, improving scalability and reducing application-level complexity. My work focuses on high-risk database migrations, dangerous schema remediation, hot-path optimization, and making existing systems scale without rewriting the product.

Open to consulting or full-time roles where data is central and performance matters.

Location: Toronto, Canada Remote: Yes (ET, overlap with US time zones) Willing to relocate: Yes — actively working toward a US move Technologies: Python, Rust, PyTorch, browser automation, agent evals & reliability, Claude Code, PostgreSQL, Linux/self-hosted infra Résumé/CV: https://phnix.dev Email: itsjosii@phnix.dev

I keep AI agent systems reliable after they ship. Public proof: Blackreach — browser agent with resumable state and outcome verification independent of the agent's self-report, validated at an exact public commit with 3,055 passing tests and a controlled real-browser demo (https://phnix.dev/projects/blackreach). Also Lethe (benchmark for agent drift over extended runs) and Huginn (self-hosted data API, 800+ tests).

Open to full-time remote (or US with relocation) and contract work — I run scoped reliability diagnostics and retainers for teams with browser agents or tool-using workflows in production: https://phnix.dev/reliability

Four years experience as founding/“first five” engineer at startups, both frontend and full stack. Capable generalist plus focused specialist (sometimes this is described as “T-shaped”). Polyglot, pick up new languages and frameworks very quickly; could be productive in e.g. Go, Elixir, any given frontend framework. I lean towards care and craftsmanship - trying to draw inspiration from figures like Rich Hickey, Casey Muratori, Bret Victor. Privately skeptical on AI-assisted development, but I’m a professional and can work with it.
