I've spent the last decade building software that matters — from healthcare tech that impacts patient outcomes to the multi-agent AI systems I'm building today.

The 11-Factor framework came from a simple frustration: I kept seeing brilliant AI prototypes die the moment someone tried to put them in front of real users. The models were fine. The engineering around them wasn't.

So I wrote down everything I've learned shipping AI agents in production — the patterns that work, the mistakes that cost time and money, and the non-negotiable engineering practices that separate demo agents from production ones.

~/projects
drwxr-xr-x OyakoAI

Multi-agent systems for production use cases. Real agents solving real problems, built with the 11-Factor framework.

drwxr-xr-x OpenClaw

An open platform for AI agent orchestration. The infrastructure layer for agent-native applications.

drwxr-xr-x 11factor.ai

This site. The framework, the blog — everything about taking agents from prototype to production.

# Speaking

The 11-Factor framework was first presented as a talk on building production-grade AI agents. I speak about AI agent architecture, the demo-to-production gap, and what it actually takes to ship AI that works.
