[ HERMES CONSULTING ]

Direct 1-on-1 sessions for Hermes & Agent Infrastructure.

Building local-first AI agent stacks requires more than swapping API keys. I offer direct consulting sessions for engineers, founders, and teams looking to architect secure, zero-trust agent environments and high-reliability Hermes setups.

Session Blueprint // 60-Min Deep DiveBOOKING OPEN

What We Accomplish in Your Session:

  • Complete audit of your agent architecture, model dispatching & context management.
  • Zero-trust credential isolation blueprint using Hermes Vault & local secret brokers.
  • Custom MCP server design & tool definition mapping tailored to your codebase.
  • Empirical verification strategies using Hardproof and automated test assertions.
  • Actionable code snippets, configuration files, and post-session implementation plan.
