Agent infrastructure engineer — I build the layer between you and the agent loop.
Columbus, Ohio · edwardkubiak.com · LinkedIn · edward.kubiak.dev@gmail.com
By day I architect and maintain production EdTech at META Solutions — 5 apps serving 4,200+ users across 900+ Ohio school districts. Nights and weekends I build agent infrastructure for Claude Code.
Open to roles on agent infrastructure, developer tools, and Claude Code platform teams.
Multi-agent systems fail in predictable ways: routing is opaque, memory bleeds across agents, policy is aspirational, and observability stops at the tool call. I build CAST to close those gaps — and a set of standalone, zero-LLM guardrails that fell out of building it. More info @ castframework.dev.

A local-first control plane for Claude Code. Multi-agent systems need observability, persistence, and unforgeable policy — CAST ships all three by construction, hung off Claude Code's own lifecycle hooks and recorded in a SQLite database that two surfaces read from.

- Hook-driven dispatch over polling. Routing, telemetry, and policy hang off lifecycle events (
SessionStart,PreToolUse,SubagentStop,Stop) — no daemon, no background loop, no missed events. - Local-first SQLite everywhere. Agent runs, routing decisions, memory, and quality gates all live in
~/.claude/cast.db, replicated off the blast radius via Litestream — the database survives a full~/.claudewipe. - Per-agent memory, not shared context. Each agent keeps scoped memory; isolation by default, coordination only when asked for.
- Hard-blocking policy gates. Force-pushes, raw
git commit, destructive shell ops — refused at the hook seam, not left to agent discipline.

claude-code-dashboard ✨ — web observability UI for CAST (21+ views, live SSE)
claude-code-dashboard · React 19 · TypeScript · Vite 6 · Express 5 · better-sqlite3 · Tailwind v4 · v2.5.0
A browser dashboard for everything CAST records. Reads ~/.claude/ directly and streams live session data over SSE — which agents fired, what they cost, whether the guards are holding. 21+ views across sessions, analytics, agents, swarm teams, hook health, a memory browser, plans, and a database explorer. No accounts, no telemetry, nothing leaves your machine.

cd claude-code-dashboard && npm install && npm run devcast-desktop — native macOS observability app with an embedded terminal
cast-desktop · Tauri 2 · Rust · TypeScript · v1.2.12
The same cast.db, packaged as a self-contained native app — no Node, no server to run. An embedded PTY terminal with persistent pane-to-session binding, an inline CodeMirror editor that dispatches agents on selection, 11 dashboard views over 70+ read-only loopback routes, and live per-session cost streaming ($/min plus a 4-hour projection).
brew tap ek33450505/cast-desktop && brew install cast-desktopThree standalone, deterministic, zero-LLM tools for Claude Code. None calls a model — so none adds tokens or can hallucinate its own verdict. They grade the act against ground truth on disk.
attest — catches a subagent's false DONE against the real git delta
attest · Python 3 (stdlib-only) · MIT · v0.1.1 · 302 tests
"DONE" is a claim, not proof. Grade the act, not the output.
A subagent reports Status: DONE after a Write that returned success but never landed on disk — a silent write-failure behind a confident claim. attest snapshots the git tree on SubagentStart, recomputes the delta on SubagentStop, and checks whether the files it claimed to change actually changed. If a claimed file never landed, it (opt-in) blocks the completion so the same agent is forced to fix it. Fail-open on every doubt; verified end-to-end against real Claude Code with captured payloads committed to the repo.

looptrip · Python 3 · Apache-2.0 · 491 tests ·
Catch the loop at iteration 2 — not on the invoice.
The failure mode that quietly burns money: agents loop — the same subagent dispatched again and again with no progress between repeats (duplicate-work, ping-pong / livelock, deadlock, non-termination), and you find out on the bill. looptrip watches a run as a stream of normalized events and trips at the second dispatch. An observer, never a gate. Works over OpenTelemetry GenAI spans or a CAST cast.db — no new instrumentation. On two real recorded runaway sessions, tripping at iteration 2 would have averted $792.96 of duplicate-work spend (looptrip proof reproduces it).

misfire · Python 3 (stdlib-only) · Apache-2.0 · v0.1.0 · 430 + 5 BATS tests ·
Prose rules are hopes. misfire ranks the ones your agents ignore — and converts only those to hooks.
Most agent guardrails are written up front and hoped to hold. misfire works backward from evidence: it reads your CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules/*.md, and your own run history, then ranks which machine-checkable prose rules your agents demonstrably ignore — by observed violation rate, with confidence thresholds and a minimum-support floor. For the violated, convertible subset only, it scaffolds a deterministic PreToolUse/PostToolUse hook for you to review — leaving safety and judgment rules as prose. An observer and recommender, never a gate: it never auto-applies a change and never writes settings.json. The ranking is byte-reproducible against a committed fixture with no database (misfire rank reproduces it).
