Michael Foster is a Technical Partner at Ciridae, where he helps drive the most productive applied AI engineering team in the world. He works directly with enterprises to architect, build, and deploy agentic AI systems into production workflows — turning intelligence from a demo into a business outcome.
He writes Shipping Intelligence, a weekly publication on the frontier of applied AI engineering. His work sits at the intersection of software architecture, agent systems, and the evolving role of the engineer in the age of AI.
Before Ciridae, Michael spent nearly a decade building software systems across immersive technology, AI, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity — always at the boundary where complex technology meets real-world constraints.
