Distinguished Engineer · Agentic AI · Continuous Evals · Enterprise AI adoption · Platform engineering · 22 yrs across IDEMIA, Avaya, Persistent
I lead the transition of a mature SaaS business into an AI-native one. I report into the CTO as a power individual contributor — the output is architecture, working systems, and adopted change, not headcount. At Irth Solutions — a North American leader in utility, energy, pipeline, and damage-prevention SaaS — I architect an internal platform of agentic sub-applications that instruments the transformation end-to-end: • Agentic intelligence inside the product suite — agents embedded as features, producing intelligence as a first-class commodity for customers. • An AI operating system for engineering — a platform that upgrades how we design, build, ship, and run software, with an explicit L0→L5 agent maturity model. • Agentic platform engineering — humans define intent and boundaries; agents design, build, test, deploy, and operate the platform itself. The specification is the durable artifact; the code is disposable. • A Continuous Evals framework — every agent in the company is cataloged, scored in-production, and governed across correctness, consistency, safety, tool use, trajectory, cost, and user satisfaction. AI adoption becomes measurable, not anecdotal. • Company-wide Claude enablement — curated learning paths, certificates, and leaderboards that roll Anthropic's Claude to every employee with the same rigor we apply to the product. Why the view is load-bearing: the thesis that agents can build the platform itself is only credible because of 22 years of actually running platforms.

Irth AI — Agentic Platform Engineering & Continuous Eval
November 1, 2025 – Present
Irth AI is the internal platform I architect at Irth Solutions to transition a mature utility, energy, pipeline, and damage-prevention SaaS business into an AI-native operating model. Built with Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Drizzle + PostgreSQL, and Microsoft Entra ID. Anthropic is our preferred AI partner; Claude is the distribution vehicle. Three capabilities sit at the core: • Agentic Platform Engineering — humans define intent and boundaries; agents design, build, test, deploy, and operate the platform itself. The specification is the durable artifact; the code is disposable. Not a future prediction — it is how the platform evolves in production today. • Continuous Evals — every agent in the company is cataloged, versioned, and scored in-production across eight dimensions: correctness, consistency, safety, tool use, trajectory, cost, integration, and user satisfaction. AI adoption becomes measurable, not anecdotal; a failing agent is knowable before a customer finds out. • Company-wide Rollout & Training — curated learning paths, certifications, and leaderboards that distribute Claude to every employee with the same rigor we apply to the product. Adoption is tracked by usage, completion, and outcome, not by compliance. The thesis Irth AI argues for in production: AI adoption succeeds when it is governed by evals, grounded in platform discipline, and rolled out through the workforce — not through slide decks and announcements.
