I work with you to define the work worth automating, then build safe, accountable and repeatable AI systems to support it.","Automation: AI agents that coordinate as a team. I build an AI conductor that hands work to specialized agents, runs them in parallel and tracks every open item until it lands successfully.","Automation: an AI brain that knows who you are and what you do in every new AI session. Persistent shared memory, an agent operating system and a second-brain knowledge graph let agents carry decisions, context and past work across tools, machines and sessions instead of starting from zero.","Accountability: a person in the middle. A person approves every step that matters, and AI-built changes ship only through a gated pipeline of reviews, tests and an explicit go-ahead.","Accountability: every AI action leaves a record. Audit trails, before-and-after history and a decision log mean any change can be traced, explained and reversed.","Accountability: guardrails that run without being asked. Dependency vulnerability checks, health checks and alerts catch problems before people do.","Agent-ready onboarding: a durable set of instructions, optimized for efficiency, so any new agent starts successful and up to speed out of the gate, whichever AI it is.","Self-healing: agents that mine past conversations, plans and deployments and recommend ways to keep improving the system.","Secure: security agents that run with every deploy and on a schedule, keeping the system secure and ready for evolving threats.","Enterprise AI adoption: governance, rollout plans and change management for teams adding AI to large platforms.","AI product leadership: discovery, roadmaps and delivery, backed by over a decade of large-scale eCommerce."],"projects":[{"name":"Career Bot","summary":"An AI assistant that answers questions about my career, using two language models and retrieval (RAG) over a PostgreSQL knowledge base.","url":"https://coreyscherrer.com/career-bot-architecture"},{"name":"Memory Archive","summary":"Long-term memory for AI agents: working sessions are captured, synced and searchable across tools and machines.","url":"https://coreyscherrer.com/memory-archive-architecture"},{"name":"Resume Builder","summary":"Turns a job description into a tailored resume in one pass: Claude drafts structured JSON, which renders straight to PDF.","url":"https://coreyscherrer.com/resume-builder-architecture"},{"name":"Agent Roster","summary":"Specialized AI agents, each exposed as an MCP tool that other agents and apps can call.","url":"https://coreyscherrer.com/agents"},{"name":"Knowledge Graph","summary":"A live graph of services, decisions and context that agents consult before they act.","url":"https://coreyscherrer.com/knowledge-graph"},{"name":"Talent Manager","summary":"An AI agent running in production that works through fixed phases, each one checked before the next begins.","url":"https://coreyscherrer.com/talent-manager"}],"requesting":["Companies looking to hire contract help to build, maintain or consult on modern AI systems.","Like-minded builders and creators working in AI, to trade notes, collaborate and build together.","AIGovOps leaders building AI that is accountable, scalable, secure and repeatable.","Small and mid-sized businesses and organizations ready to adopt AI and scale with it.","Enterprise teams managing fast-changing AI tools and integrations who need them to stay reliable and accountable.","Anyone ready to create a little chaos and have fun doing it.
