# Augusto Bastos: Applied AI Developer

> Applied AI Developer in Limerick, Ireland, focused on agentic AI. I design and ship AI systems by directing coding agents (Claude Code, Codex): I set the architecture and the guardrails, a second AI agent reviews the code, and I test the result.

Open to AI roles in Ireland or remote, and to freelance AI implementation work.

## Selected work

- [Deputy-MCP](https://github.com/augbastos/Deputy-MCP): local Python MCP server
  for workforce rosters, open source under MIT. Read-only by default and usable
  with a regular employee account. The portfolio interaction is illustrative
  and uses a fake sample shift.
- [PitchPilot](https://luckycat.ie/pitchpilot/): white-label field-sales app
  with pitch scripts, objections, demos and lead capture. Wingman is its
  tenant-scoped RAG copilot, grounding answers in product documents with
  pgvector retrieval. The public VoltLine demo uses pre-written answers.
- [Lucky Cat](https://luckycat.ie/): independent software and AI brand with
  Ownly, Tillr, PitchPilot and Synergy. Ordering, operations and AI-assisted
  sales tools on a shared multi-tenant backend with Postgres row-level security.
  Portfolio demonstrations use sample data.
- [Synergy](https://luckycat.ie/synergy): an action layer between an application
  and agent channels, demonstrated on a sample cafe app. Contracts, permissions
  and safety lint constrain actions; the portfolio shows a conceptual flow.

## Approach

Understand the problem and existing tools; build a small working version;
test with relevant data and tools; provide documentation and handover.
Work includes grounded RAG, MCP, permission-controlled agents, PostgreSQL
row-level security, cross-tenant tests, pytest, Playwright and GitHub Actions.
