Papers & Publications

Six peer-reviewed papers on the AI systems I ship. Latency, intent detection, MCP architecture, LLM optimization, trust, and multi-agent drift.

Paper · 2026
Pattern catalogue

MCP Server Architecture Patterns

Design patterns for production MCP servers — Gamma-format taxonomy, anti-patterns, cross-cutting concerns. 100% classification accuracy at ≤10 tools; Proxy Aggregator pattern when tool count exceeds threshold.

Target: ACM / IEEE Software

Paper · 2026
−41.8% E2E latency

Latency Optimization for Voice AI

Systems-level latency study of a production voice AI platform (ElevenLabs TTS + Anthropic Claude intent + NestJS over WebSocket). Concurrency between intent detection and TTS is the highest-leverage optimization, not per-stage speed.

Target: ICASSP / IEEE Access

Paper · 2026
41.7% → 91.7% accuracy

ASR Intent Detection at Scale

Using LLMs as a post-ASR intent classifier on noisy production transcripts. Prompt + structured-output classifier tested across ~120 prompt variants. Lifted intent accuracy without retraining the base ASR.

Target: EMNLP / IEEE NLP

Paper · 2026
+5.6 percentage points

LLM Optimization for TensorFlow

Evaluation framework and fine-tuning recipe lifting benchmark task performance by 5.6 pp. Translates research improvements into production systems.

Target: NeurIPS / IEEE TNNLS

Paper · 2026
Empirical study

Trust in LLMs

Trust calibration with large language models — user perspectives on reliability, transparency, and accountability. Submission complete.

Paper · 2026
Drift mitigation

Multi-Agent Drift

Measuring and mitigating divergence in multi-agent systems. Framework for detecting drift across coordinated LLM agents.

03 · Building with Claude · AI · Automation

The agentic dev workflow

Claude Code in the daily build/test/ship loop, MCP servers in production, n8n orchestration, and real-time AI avatars. AI is the work, not a side project.

n8n LLM Orchestration · Ôdasie

Heavy n8n automation for LLM agent orchestration, API integrations, and approval workflows. Cut release cycles from weeks to hours via AWS infrastructure automation (EC2, S3, SQS, Lambda, Bedrock) plus Netlify, Coolify, GitHub Actions.

MCP Servers in Production

6+ months of production MCP usage on real workloads at Ôdasie, then formalized into a peer-reviewed paper on MCP Server Architecture Patterns.

MCPClaudeTypeScriptPython

Real-Time AI Avatars

Built bi-directional voice + video + data avatar experiences using LiveKit + WebRTC at Ôdasie. Live talking AI avatars wired into customer onboarding and demos.
