Contract AI engineering and agent development
Tyler Lepkanich is a data and AI infrastructure engineer available for contract work: building AI agents, the automation around them, and the data pipelines they run on.
What I build
AI agents and automation
Agents that take a recurring job off someone's plate and run it unattended: LLM workflows that call tools and APIs, run on a schedule or on events, and hand off to a person where a decision needs one.
Data pipelines and analytics infrastructure
The plumbing that agents and dashboards both depend on: ingestion, transformation, warehousing and the analytics on top, built to run overnight and to say so clearly when something breaks.
AI features inside products
LLM features built into a working product rather than a demo. I'm currently building Wiskr, AI product quizzes for Shopify stores.
Crypto and web3
I've worked across the web3 space over the years, building apps and web3 domains, wallet integrations, stablecoin payment flows, and exchange and prediction-market trading systems with the risk controls around them. I was an early Bitcoin advocate and an early investor in Ethereum and Aave, and have followed DeFi since its early days, from lending protocols like Aave to exchanges like Uniswap.
Background
I've worked in data for more than a decade. Most recently I spent seven years at Kyruus Health, going from business intelligence analyst to leading the analytics engineering team, then back to hands-on work as Staff Data Engineer: designing dbt-based analytics platforms and architecting Dagster and Python ELT frameworks. Before that I spent four years in business intelligence at Paint Nite.
