I build AI systems for telecom and experimentation.

Creator of MCP-Telecom — the first Model Context Protocol server for network equipment. 60+ tools, 7 vendors, shipped on PyPI. Currently researching proxy metric validation for online experiments.

MCP-Telecom

LLM agents cannot interact with network devices — no standardized interface exists for telecom equipment across vendors, protocols, and safety requirements.

PROXIMA

Teams ship A/B tests using short-term proxy metrics without knowing if those proxies reliably predict long-term outcomes — leading to false wins and hidden regressions.

LLM Incident Copilot

Production incident debugging requires sifting through multi-MB log files manually — AI tools hallucinate conclusions without citing actual evidence.
