Nik Patel
Building AI agent systems that actually ship. CTO turned founder. 5 patents. Scaled engineering to 100 people, then scaled back to what matters.
Running CodeTicks Solutions — an AI consulting practice helping companies build agent systems into real workflows. Not chatbots. Not wrappers. Production multi-agent systems with verification.
Shipping two products in public: TroopX (multi-agent orchestration platform) and Distill (AI content pipeline). The process of building these is itself the content.
Orchestrating teams of AI agents through structured workflows — dev, QA, reviewer roles with blackboard coordination and quality gates.
55+ system integrations in my previous life. If you need human intervention to complete your workflow, it's not a real integration.
Anyone can generate. Few can verify at scale. Building the verification layer that makes AI agents reliable enough for production.
Scaled engineering from 12 to 100, then optimized back down. The best team isn't the biggest — it's the smallest that achieves the mission.
AI consulting. Building agent systems, enterprise integrations, and production AI workflows for companies that need more than a chatbot.
Multi-agent dev platform. Orchestrates AI agent teams through structured workflows. Temporal + FastAPI + Claude. Dev-QA pairs, blackboard coordination, memory injection.
Content pipeline. Ingests coding sessions, RSS, browser history. Synthesizes journals, blog posts, social content. Publishes across Ghost, social, and Obsidian.
CTO & co-founder at Cohesion (2020-2024) — smart building platform deployed across 37M sq ft in 22 US cities. Raised $23.5M (Morgan Stanley lead, Ken Griffin personal investment). Scaled engineering from 12 to 100, integrated 55+ building systems, co-authored 5 USPTO patents in AI, IoT, and digital twin technology.
Before that: senior engineer at Frontline Education, lead engineer at AmTrust Financial. MS Computer Science from University of Illinois (4.0 GPA). Came to the US in 2012, built everything from there.
