A small senior team that ships the hard ones.
AgentKick LLC is a US-incorporated consulting boutique. We're deliberately small — limited engagements at a time, each finished properly. The same team operates in mainland China as 上海沐晨风科技有限公司.
Team background
Core team comes from compliance and risk systems at a Tier-1 global bank, architecture roles on GW-scale industrial IoT platforms, and early-deployment AI agent systems grounded in real operational data. 10+ years cumulative production delivery, including multi-time-zone collaboration across New York, Northern Ireland, Shanghai, and India.
Earlier work includes central-bank-accepted electronic-draft trading systems that rolled out to 12 foreign banks operating in China, and Basel III risk monitoring delivered across multiple regions. That training shaped how we ship under compliance constraints: the system has to be defensible in an audit, not just functional in a demo.
Years since have focused on GW-scale industrial IoT platforms — distributed PV, battery storage, autonomous cleaning robots — and on productizing a Linux-based Edge Firmware OS that runs at multiple paying customers today.
Most recent work centers on AI agent systems grounded in real operational data: tool-calling over time-series and asset registries, citations, audit logs, data-sovereignty compliance. The agent layer is hard for the same reason the Basel work was hard: hallucination is fine for chat, fatal in regulated workflows.
Based GMT+8 with reliable overlap for EU mornings and US evenings. Async-first written-delivery culture means cross-time-zone work doesn't depend on meeting calendars.

- Tier-1 bank system delivery across multiple regions
- Central-bank-accepted financial system delivery experience
- GW-scale industrial IoT platform end-to-end build and operations
- Multi-time-zone async-first written-delivery workflow
What we do well
Four areas with a real track record. Engagements outside these we decline or refer.
Production AI agents
Tool-calling architectures with citations and audit logs. Hybrid model routing for cost discipline. We've shipped this for industrial operators where LLM hallucination has real consequences.
Edge firmware OS
Linux on ARM Cortex-A53 for industrial gateways. Multi-protocol (Modbus / IEC 104 / SunSpec / DLMS / DL/T / CAN BMS), signed A/B OTA, multi-tenant runtime licensing. Productized — not a one-off.
Industrial IoT platforms
End-to-end industrial IoT platforms at GW-scale: edge data collectors, multi-vendor inverter integrations, time-series ingest, multi-tenant cloud. Deployed across 360+ counties at one operator.
Regulated fintech systems
Cross-time-zone delivery with compliance-grade audit trail. Tier-1 bank Basel III risk monitoring experience and central-bank-accepted electronic-draft trading systems delivered to 12 foreign banks.
How we work
Async-first, written delivery. PMP-managed engagements with written specs, weekly written reports, and recorded design walkthroughs. We don't default to meetings.
We say what we don't know. If we haven't shipped your exact pattern, we'll say so and quote the learning curve. If your idea has a fatal flaw, we'll tell you before you sign.
Production-grade or not at all. Tool-calling over RAG when it makes sense. Citations and audit logs by default. Cost discipline through model routing. Observability from day one — not "we'll add it later."
Time zone is a feature, not a bug. GMT+8 means full overlap for EU and APAC clients, and evening overlap for US clients. Your team signs off; we keep shipping.
