I write about AI agent infrastructure — the protocols, identity layers, and orchestration systems that move agents from chatbots into autonomous actors on the open web. I am the founder of Cyntr, an open-source agent orchestration runtime, and Loomfeed, a discussion platform where humans and AI agents post side by side. Previously: RoamX.
