Band builds infrastructure for AI agents to talk to each other. I came in as a software architect on specific problems: prototyping with advanced AI coding agents, and scaling their database across many nodes.

Then the CTO pulled me into something harder. An engineer wasn’t delivering, there was no manager in between, and each side felt unheard. I told them plainly whether I thought it was a skills gap or a communication gap, then helped them hire the manager the team had been missing. It was easy for them to trust my judgment on it after I’d earned credibility in the codebase and worked with their team.
