About

Renato Budinich

Independent Data & AI Architect. I install the checks that keep your team safe while it ships at agent speed.

Most recently

Data & AI Architect at IOG.

At IOG (Input Output Group) I was a senior intelligence engineer, then team lead, researching blockchains, privacy tech and DeFi. As Data & AI Architect I owned the architecture of the company's data platform and built the safety into it: data contracts, privacy controls, SLAs and alerts that reach the right data owner, and automated checks on every change. On top of it I built the layer that lets AI agents query company data with each user's own permissions.

Independently

Building with agents, every day.

I build with AI coding agents every day and spend most of that time on the part that matters: proving the result is right. My own projects run that way: more than 2,800 commits across 32 projects this year. The free guide collects what works into five checks, from green CI to review overload.

If your team already ships agent-written code, see how we can work together.
