Agentic pipelines break in production, quietly, and in ways that are hard to catch. This talk skips the theory and gets straight to it: what actually fails, why it's tricky to debug, and how to fix it fast. We'll use the Anthropic API and LangSmith to trace real failure modes, wrong tool calls, context blowups, and agent loops, and I'll fix a broken agent live on stage so you can see the whole debugging workflow in action. You'll leave with patterns you can use the next day.
I'm an AI developer, technical speaker, and writer based in San Francisco. I speak at developer conferences and events on AI, LLMs, and agentic pipelines, and I love making these topics accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences through blogs and short videos. I'm hands-on, practical, and actively involved in the developer and AI community across the Bay Area.
