    // ABOUT

    A studio that treats AI like infrastructure.

    Griffin Labs is an engineering studio building production-grade agentic systems. We scope your system with real production experience, then build it to survive it.

    I spent years as a reliability engineer keeping real systems alive. I've been on-call, monitored, and been held accountable when things broke. AI changed what software can do, but not what it takes to run it in production.

    Most "AI builds" are demos that fall over the moment real traffic hits. Griffin Labs exists to build the other kind: agentic systems engineered with the same discipline as the infrastructure they run on. We build observable, instrumented, and resilient systems. I started this studio to do that work end-to-end for teams who need it done right the first time.

    // HOW WE BUILD

    Principles, not slides.

    Architecture firstWe design the system before we write a prompt. Data flow, failure modes, and what "reliable" means here.
    Evaluated, not assumedWe measure behavior against real tasks, not demos. The models we train ship with an eval harness.
    Observable in prodTraces, metrics, and alerts from day one. If it breaks at 2am, we can see why — and so can you.
    You own itWhat we build for you is yours: clean code in your repositories, real docs, and CI/CD you control. Where we bring our own reusable tooling, you get a permanent license to run it. No lock-in, no black boxes you can't maintain.
    WHERE WE ARE

    Building in the open.

    Patternwise is our reference build: a full product we designed, built, and ran end to end, now kept as a showcase of how we work. It's the kind of system we want to build more of for clients.

    building.

    Send the problem, the systems it has to touch, and the deadline. We will tell you what it takes to engineer it, or if it's not a fit we will help guide you to a better solution.
