Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/resume ### What is an agentic engineer? Someone who builds software with an AI agent doing real engineering work end to end, rather than autocompleting lines a human still has to assemble. The job is specifying the work, reviewing what comes back, shipping it, and owning the result. This site is the worked example rather than the argument for it. Receipt: This site's own build log: 11 real commit hashes, verbatim from git log, in src/content/recorded/genesis.ts. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/hire ### How do I check that he can actually do this, rather than take his word for it? Four ways, all of them things you can open yourself. The build log of this site replays 11 real commits with their hashes. 28 projects are live right now: sluice at https://sluice-iota.vercel.app, windlass at https://windlass-lyart.vercel.app, kedge at https://kedge-sage.vercel.app, flume at https://flume-lilac.vercel.app, cofferdam at https://cofferdam.vercel.app, proofpage at https://proofpage-green.vercel.app, chaff at https://chaff-xi.vercel.app, dipmeter at https://dipmeter.vercel.app, orrery at https://orrery-tan.vercel.app, snapgauge at https://snapgauge.vercel.app, provenote at https://provenote.vercel.app, dogwatch at https://dogwatch-two.vercel.app, tiltmeter at https://tiltmeter.vercel.app, shipgauge at https://shipgauge.vercel.app, assay at https://assay-flax.vercel.app, galley at https://galley-khaki.vercel.app, halo-halo at https://halo-halo-coral.vercel.app, swage at https://swage-swart.vercel.app, graticule at https://graticule-seven.vercel.app, clarifier at https://clarifier.vercel.app, pitman at https://pitman-eight.vercel.app, orphanage at https://orphanage-ten.vercel.app, aeo-lab at https://aeo-lab-iota.vercel.app, polis at https://polis-sigma.vercel.app, carillon at https://carillon-psi.vercel.app, Klik at https://joinklik.app, ClubScope Insight Engine at https://clubscope-insight-engine.vercel.app, Agent James: Agent Console at https://agentjames.vercel.app/.

Receipt: src/content/recorded/genesis.ts, src/content/data/projects.ts, /api/mcp. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/projects ### Can I hire a developer in the Philippines for remote work across timezones? That is the arrangement he already works in. Current role: AI Automation Developer at Lift Legal Marketing, Remote from Manila, company in Australia. Current role. AI integration for legal marketing workflows, working GMT+8 against AEST. Direct client work for people in Canada, Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. Increasingly the AI feature itself and the system around it, rather than general build work. Based in Manila, Philippines, GMT+8. Within 24 hours on any inquiry. Receipt: src/content/data/story.ts, chapters lift and freelance. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/hire ### Does he work with Claude and the Model Context Protocol specifically? Yes, and the site itself is the demonstration: it publishes a remote MCP server at /api/mcp that any Claude client can connect to in one line, with read-only tools over this same data. 6 of his certifications are issued by Anthropic: Claude with the Anthropic API (Jun 2026), Claude Code in Action (May 2026), Introduction to Model Context Protocol (May 2026), Introduction to agent skills (May 2026), Claude 101 (Feb 2026), AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations (Jan 2026). At Lift Legal Marketing, on the record: "Law Firm Builder Pro: 20+ agents across a six phase pipeline, cutting a site from weeks of build to 2 to 4 hours". Receipt: src/lib/mcp/, src/content/data/credentials.ts. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/mcp ### What has he actually shipped? 35 projects, each with its year, status, stack and measured outcome on one page. The strongest single receipt is Kredit Hero: AI Credit App — Users in first 30 days: 1,000+; Sprint delivery: 15% ahead of schedule. 28 of them are live and open to anyone right now. Receipt: src/content/data/projects.ts. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/projects ### What kinds of work does he take on? 20 lines of work. Agentic Web Development: Web applications where an agent answers in context, routes a request, or runs a task end to end, with the model layer kept behind a server boundary. Agent Reliability & Evaluation: Model and agent features put under measurement, so a change to a prompt, a tool or a model is scored against a fixed task set before anyone else meets it. MCP Servers & Assistant Integration: Servers that expose a system's own record to an AI assistant over the Model Context Protocol, with every result carrying the address it was read from. Agent Ecosystem Design & Audit: An existing set of agents, skills and prompts measured against what it is actually used for, then cut back to the parts that earn their place. Full-Stack Development: One engineer owns the database, the API and the interface, so no requirement is lost in a handoff between separate teams. Project Management & BA: Requirements written down, scoped and sequenced before code is written, by the same person who then builds it. AI Automation & Integration: Repetitive work moved into inspectable pipelines that run against the APIs of the tools a business already pays for. Legacy Modernization: Ageing codebases moved onto a maintainable stack by a migration path that is scripted and repeatable, with the content carried across intact. Custom Agent Building: One agent, or a small team of them, built for a named job inside a business, with a written task it has to pass before it is trusted with the work. AI Connectors & Integrations: The plumbing between two systems that were never designed to talk, so a record created in one appears in the other without a person retyping it. AI Consultancy: An outside read on where a model helps a business and where it will cost more than it returns, written down and argued rather than presented. Agentic Transformation for Organisations: One process at a time moved to an agent that runs it, measured against the way that process ran before, with anything that did not improve handed back. AI Solutions: One problem taken end to end: the data it needs, the model call it makes, the interface a person uses, and the measurement that says whether it worked. WordPress Development: WordPress sites built or repaired by someone who reads the theme and the database, rather than installing another plugin on top of the problem. Elementor Builds: Pages built in the visual builder a client already uses, kept fast, and kept editable by the person who owns the site after the engagement ends. Kadence Builds: Sites on the Kadence theme and its blocks, set up so the layout stays consistent when someone other than the builder adds the next page. WooCommerce Stores: A store with its products, its tax and shipping rules, and a checkout proven in test mode before a real card is ever presented to it. Shopify Development: Themes and small apps on a hosted commerce platform, where the platform owns payments and the work is everything arranged around them. GoHighLevel Systems: Pipelines, forms and follow up inside the agency platform, wired so a new lead is answered by the system instead of remembered by a person. AI Search Readiness (SEO / AEO / GEO): Pages made citable by an answer engine as well as findable by a search engine: entity markup, answer shaped copy, and a record of which prompts return the page. Receipt: src/content/data/services.ts. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/services ### What does this cost? The hire form asks for a budget band so the first reply is a real number rather than a guess: Under $1,000, $1,000 to $3,000, $3,000 to $5,000, $5,000 to $10,000, $10,000 and up, Not sure yet. These are the bands on the actual form, not a rate card, and picking the "not sure yet" band is fine — the reply still comes back with a number once the scope is clear. Receipt: HIRE_BUDGET_BANDS in src/lib/console/registry.ts, the same constant the live form renders. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/hire ### What timezone does he work in, and how fast does he reply? Manila, Philippines, GMT+8. Within 24 hours on any inquiry, and available for new projects. The current role already runs across timezones: Remote from Manila, company in Australia. Receipt: profile in src/content/data/index.ts. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/hire ### What happens after I submit the form? 1. Discovery — We agree what the project has to achieve, what it must not break, and how we will both know it worked, before any code is written. 2. Build — The work is built with an AI agent as the working partner and a human reviewing every change before it lands. You get commits you can read rather than a status update. 3. Review — You review running software at each milestone, not a screenshot of it, and the next milestone absorbs what you send back. 4. Launch — We deploy to production with checks in the pipeline and alerting that reaches a human, and you hold the repository and the infrastructure accounts. Receipt: src/content/data/service-pages.ts. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/hire ### What is a forward deployed engineer? An engineer who embeds with the client's team rather than working at a remove from a backlog: same tools, same channels, shipping into their stack. James works this way now as AI Automation Developer at Lift Legal Marketing, remote from manila, company in australia. Receipt: src/content/data/story.ts, chapter lift. Full version: https://agentjames.vercel.app/hire ### Can an AI assistant read this site directly instead of scraping it? Yes. The site is a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP at /api/mcp: no authentication, read only, and every tool result carries the canonical URL it came from so an answer can cite the page rather than paraphrase the site. There is also /llms.txt, and /llms-full.txt for the whole record in a single fetch. Receipt: src/lib/mcp/server.ts, src/app/llms.txt/route.ts, src/app/llms-full.txt/route.ts.

[Agent Reliability & Evaluation](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/agent-reliability): Model and agent features put under measurement, so a change to a prompt, a tool or a model is scored against a fixed task set before anyone else meets it. - [MCP Servers & Assistant Integration](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/mcp-integration): Servers that expose a system's own record to an AI assistant over the Model Context Protocol, with every result carrying the address it was read from. - [Agent Ecosystem Design & Audit](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/agentic-ecosystem): An existing set of agents, skills and prompts measured against what it is actually used for, then cut back to the parts that earn their place. - [Full-Stack Development](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/full-stack-development): One engineer owns the database, the API and the interface, so no requirement is lost in a handoff between separate teams. - [Project Management & BA](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/project-management): Requirements written down, scoped and sequenced before code is written, by the same person who then builds it. - [AI Automation & Integration](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/ai-automation): Repetitive work moved into inspectable pipelines that run against the APIs of the tools a business already pays for. - [Legacy Modernization](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/legacy-modernization): Ageing codebases moved onto a maintainable stack by a migration path that is scripted and repeatable, with the content carried across intact. -

[AI Connectors & Integrations](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/ai-connectors): The plumbing between two systems that were never designed to talk, so a record created in one appears in the other without a person retyping it. - [AI Consultancy](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/ai-consultancy): An outside read on where a model helps a business and where it will cost more than it returns, written down and argued rather than presented. - [Agentic Transformation for Organisations](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/agentic-transformation): One process at a time moved to an agent that runs it, measured against the way that process ran before, with anything that did not improve handed back. - [AI Solutions](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/ai-solutions): One problem taken end to end: the data it needs, the model call it makes, the interface a person uses, and the measurement that says whether it worked. - [WordPress Development](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/wordpress): WordPress sites built or repaired by someone who reads the theme and the database, rather than installing another plugin on top of the problem. - [Elementor Builds](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/elementor): Pages built in the visual builder a client already uses, kept fast, and kept editable by the person who owns the site after the engagement ends. - [Kadence Builds](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/kadence): Sites on the Kadence theme and its blocks, set up so the layout stays consistent when someone other than the builder adds the next page. -

[AI Search Readiness (SEO / AEO / GEO)](https://agentjames.vercel.app/services/seo-aeo-geo): Pages made citable by an answer engine as well as findable by a search engine: entity markup, answer shaped copy, and a record of which prompts return the page. -
