Architects and builds AI agent systems that run live: multi-agent shows, voice agents and AI products, on seven years of shipping and leading on-chain engineering.

Co-founder and head of AI products at Voir Labs. Joined Xord as its sixth person and grew with it to more than 120, rising to CTO, before moving from protocol design into AI agents. Still writes much of the code himself.

## What Asad builds

- **Multi-agent systems that run live**: Independent AI agents with their own voices, avatars and memory, orchestrated in real time on air, with failsafes and manual overrides so a person can step in during a live show.
- **Voice agents wired into the business**: A voice agent that picks up real-estate leads, talks them through, and writes every result back to the CRM, built to be the base for custom client builds.
- **AI products from zero to launch**: Owning an AI product end to end: the idea, the build, the launch and the channels that bring people to it.
- **Agents you can keep trusting**: Hosted models and agents change under you. Checks that tell a team when an agent's behaviour shifts, before its users notice.
