Core skills:
- AI agents and LLMs: Build agents that understand instructions, choose tools, complete multi-step tasks, and report results.
- LLM integration: Work with APIs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Amazon Bedrock; use tool/function calling, structured outputs, and conversation history.
- Backend development: Strong Python or Node.js skills; build APIs and services that connect the agents to other systems.
- Workflow orchestration: Coordinate multi-step tasks, handle errors, retry safely, and keep users informed about progress.
- Database design: Store user accounts, conversations, tasks, contacts, call records, documents, and audit history.
- Voice AI and telephony: Build inbound and outbound calling; integrate speech-to-text, text-to-speech, call routing, and call summaries.

- Document and spreadsheet generation: Create and update practical business documents, spreadsheets, summaries, and presentations.
- Research and recommendations: Retrieve information from approved sources, summarize findings, cite or link sources, and explain recommendations.
- Cloud deployment: Deploy and operate the application securely and reliably. AWS experience is useful for your project.
Security and reliability skills:
- Access controls and permissions: Ensure agents can only use accounts and data they are authorized to access.
- Approval workflows: Require confirmation for sensitive actions, such as sending certain messages or making purchases; support user-set spending limits.
- Secure payment integration: Use a payment provider or tokenized payment method; protect card data and record authorized transactions.
- Privacy and call handling: Protect personal information and build in appropriate call disclosure, recording, and data-retention controls.
- Testing and monitoring: Test agent behavior and integrations, track failures, and make it possible to review what the agent did.
- Production engineering: Use version control, documentation, deployment practices, and maintainable code.
Helpful experience:
- Building a SaaS product or MVP from the ground up
- WhatsApp Business API, Microsoft Graph, telephony, or payment-provider integrations
- AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Connect
- RAG or knowledge-base search, vector databases, and retrieval systems
