User Interfaces

Where I interact with my agent stack

Telegram

Primary mobile interface

Chat-based interaction with PA agent. Voice messages, inline commands, media delivery. Always-on connection via Telegram API.

Terminal

Hermes CLI interface

Direct shell access. File ops, git, deployment, agent spawning. Full power-user control surface via macOS terminal.

Desktop

Hermes Desktop app

GUI companion for Hermes Agent. Visual agent logs, file browsing, session management, config editing.

🤖

Agent Orchestration

The brains of the operation

Hermes Agent

Core AI agent framework

Open-source agent by Nous Research. Multi-profile, tool-calling, skill library, cron scheduling, cross-profile memory, and subagent delegation.

PA Agent

Personal Assistant

Life management agent: tasks, reminders, calendar, projects, wiki. Proactive suggestions, daily briefs, evening recaps, Obsidian vault master.

Specialized Agents

Dev · Creative · Content

Separate Hermes profiles for code, design, and content generation. Each with tailored skills, tool sets, and model preferences.

🧰

Skills & Tools

What the agents can do

Skill Library

30+ curated skills

Reusable workflows across 9 categories: media creation, software dev, research, social media, productivity, MLOps, design, and process.

Tool Access

Web · File · Terminal · API

Full tool belt: web search/extract, file read/write, shell execution, GitHub, browser automation, cron scheduling, subagent delegation.

Telegram Bots

Multi-bot infrastructure

Delivery channels for cron output, media delivery, inline commands. Home channel for scheduled results and notifications.

🧠

Memory & Knowledge

Persistent state and structured knowledge

Mnemosyne

Cross-session memory

Persistent memory system storing preferences, project state, environment facts. Survives across sessions and different agent profiles.

Obsidian Vault

PA database & wiki

Structured markdown vault: tasks, projects, areas, daily notes, calendar, inbox. Single source of truth for the PA agent.

LLM Wiki

Karpathy-style knowledge base

Interlinked markdown wiki with entities, concepts, comparisons, and raw source material. Agent-readable knowledge graph.

Large Language Models

The reasoning engine

DeepSeek v4 Pro

Primary reasoning model

Fast, powerful general-purpose LLM. Default model for PA and Hermes agents. Accessed via DeepSeek API with low-latency inference.

MiMo 2.5 Pro

Secondary / fallback model

Alternative model for specialized tasks. Different strength profile. Used as fallback when primary is unavailable or for cost-sensitive cron jobs.

🖥️

Infrastructure

The hardware running it all

MacBook Air

Always-on home server

Primary host for Hermes Agent. Runs 24/7, manages cron jobs, hosts terminal sessions, runs background agents. macOS 12.7.6.

Tailscale

Mesh VPN network

WireGuard-based mesh VPN connecting all devices securely. MacBook, notebooks, phones — all on one network, accessible from anywhere.

OpenRouter

Unified LLM gateway

Single API for multiple models. Routes to DeepSeek, MiMo, GPT, Claude, or any supported provider. Free-tier fallback for cron jobs.

About me

I build AI systems. I own the product.

I started in operations, building automated workflows with Microsoft Power Platform — Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint. Over time, those workflows evolved: from rule-based automation to n8n pipelines, from chatbots to autonomous agents. Today, I architect and ship production AI systems using MCP servers, RAG pipelines, and agent frameworks.

I don't believe in AI demos that never ship. I build working systems — agents that run 24/7, pipelines that publish without intervention, tools that solve real problems. No buzzwords. No slide decks. Working software.

What makes me different: I can lead a product from strategy through deployment. I understand the business case, the user journey, and the technical architecture — because I've owned all three. That's the rare combination I bring to every initiative.

Projects

Things I've Built

Currently Working On

Instant Newsletter Generator

A LangGraph-powered pipeline that researches trending topics, deduplicates, curates, formats, and styles a complete HTML newsletter — all in under a minute. SSE streaming shows every step live.

LangGraphSSE StreamingNext.jsRailway

Five agent nodes chain together in real time: research → dedup → curate → format → style. Each node streams its progress via Server-Sent Events so you watch the newsletter assemble itself.

Currently Working On

Toronto Knows LLM

A hyper-local fine-tuned language model that knows Toronto inside out — neighborhoods, slang, food, transit, culture, and community voices. Trained on Qwen3.5-4B using MLX QLoRA.

Fine-tuningMLXQLoRAHuggingFace

Every LLM gives generic 'visit the CN Tower' advice. Toronto Knows speaks with the actual voice of the city — real slang, hidden gems, multicultural perspective. No other LLM is this specifically trained on one city.

Coming Soon

Agent Builders Pipeline

A daily newsletter on agentic AI — automated end-to-end. Research cron → format cron → Substack draft, all running on Hermes agents.

SubstackHermes AgentsMCP ServersCron Pipelines

Two cron jobs chain together every morning: one researches trending stories, the other formats and publishes. Kiran reviews each draft in 30 seconds before it goes live.

RAG-Based AI Voice Agent

A voice-enabled AI assistant built on Retrieval-Augmented Generation — demonstrating end-to-end AI systems thinking, not just prompting.

RAG PipelineVector StoreVoice SynthesisLLM

This wasn't about writing better prompts. It was about architecting a full pipeline: ingestion, embedding, retrieval, generation, and voice output — all working together.
