Backend systems
for agentic AI.

I'm Luis Adrian, a self-taught backend engineer in Buenos Aires building my own agentic stack: context transport, retrieval substrates, and the operational glue that keeps multi-agent systems honest in production.

About

A glimpse of how I work.

Ten years operating in high-consequence environments before I touched a keyboard. It shows in how I design — failure modes first, happy paths last.

What I'm shipping.

  • Iterating on Meridian context transport.Tightening MCP / gRPC contract.
  • C++20 rewrite of inventory-api.Going one layer deeper.
  • Reading transformer architecture.Path toward inference work.

What's running right now.

Self-BOT and Meridian both live on a single GCP VM. The cards are a portfolio snapshot of the runtime shape, uptime window, and operating profile.

Lab notes

Numbers from the system.

Short technical write-ups built from real operating questions: tail latency, retrieval quality, and provider routing.

Cutting Meridian's p99 from 42ms to 17ms.

Six weeks tracking a single tail-latency regression across the merge stage. The culprit was a synchronous protobuf re-serialization sneaking in on fan-out.

Dual-context retrieval lifts recall@8 by 23pp.

Combining vector RAG with recursive CTE graph traversal on a 12k-doc corpus. The graph hop fills what cosine similarity misses.

What Self-BOT actually called last month.

Provider routing log over March 2026. Local Ollama handles half; the heavy reasoning still goes to Claude.

Interactive surfaces

Demos with their own routes.

The portfolio stays readable as a single overview. Larger interactive pieces live on dedicated endpoints where backend integrations can grow without crowding the homepage.
