For software people new to AI. Assumes you can read code, no AI background required.
About
I have spent 20 years building enterprise systems and 14 of them working on production AI inside Fortune 100 organizations. The work has been about getting AI to actually run in the messy reality of large enterprises, not the demo-grade kind.
I write the two books at Building Agentic AI because the existing material on agentic AI tends to fall into one of two buckets. Either it is a vendor explainer with no engineering substance, or it is research-flavored writing that skips over the parts that make a system actually work in production. I wanted clear, honest books that respect the reader's time and their experience.
Book 1 is the on-ramp for software people new to AI. Book 2 is the architect's field guide for engineers shipping these systems for real. They are a deliberate pair, and the blog covers the same ground in smaller pieces.
