• Build and deploy AI agents, integrations, and workflows using TypeScript or Python on ECI platforms.
• Integrate solutions with client systems, APIs, documents, and data while addressing authentication, permissions, data isolation, audit trails, records retention, retries, and partial failures.
• Design evaluations using client examples, verify AI-assisted code and outputs, and apply automated checks and human review before solutions reach production.
• Partner with client compliance, security, and IT teams to establish data-handling requirements, approvals, information barriers, and production controls.
• Train users, measure adoption and results against agreed success measures, iterate based on feedback, and document operating procedures and runbooks for handover.
