Kyle C.

Principal software and agentic systems architect. Generative AI engineer and two-time founder with 12+ years across web, mobile, and cloud. I build entire production systems end to end — architecture, services, front end, infrastructure — using agentic tooling to work at a pace that once required a team. The last three years have been LLM applications and agentic systems in production, after co-founding and exiting a venture I grew to 10,000+ users and a team of five. Background includes Facebook (Meta), Comcast, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and SuperDraft, plus two companies I founded and led as CTO.
