Earlier this year I helped launch version 1.0 of the TypeScript-based Mastra AI framework, e.g. I built a native Datadog LLM trace exporter. More recently, I’ve been conducting small-scale agentic AI systems research, and integrating AI capabilities (like building an MCP) into an GovQL, an open source project using GraphQL to query federal government data. I also have non-AI greenfield experience, e.g. last year I co-created Unilogs, a highly scalable log observability platform featuring a condensed one-step deployment to AWS (read more about it in the case study I wrote here: <a href="https://unilogs.github.io/" rel="nofollow">https://unilogs.github.io/</a>).</p>

Last year I co-created Unilogs, a scalable log observability platform, and earlier this year I helped launch Mastra version 1.0 (an agentic AI framework). Most recently I've been running an experiment on an agentic debate system, which you can read more about in this short write-up: <a href="https://medium.com/@alex.stout55555/agentic-debate-an-architectural-solution-to-the-limitations-of-an-llm-model-ad6a73a525df" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@alex.stout55555/agentic-debate-an-archit...</a></p>
