About

About Tatenda Zhou

I am a Software & Systems Architect and SRE with 10+ years in enterprise software. I design and ship systems end-to-end — from the first prototype to a production deployment with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring and alerting behind it.

What I build

  • AI agents. Production agents and multi-agent systems, taken from prototype to reliable, observable deployment.
  • Web3. Smart contracts and on-chain tooling, integrated with real products and real users.
  • Native mobile. iOS & Android apps built for the store — auth, payments, polish, the whole path.
  • End-to-end & SRE. Cloud infra, CI/CD, monitoring & alerting. I own reliability, not just features.

For business leaders

I run executive AI-adoption workshops: hands-on sessions that get a whole team using AI daily, so productivity and ROI actually go up. They are practical, tailored to how your business works, and measured by what changes afterwards.

Open-source work

A few things I have shipped in the open. Each link goes to the GitHub repository; several also have a project page on this host.

  • promptups — do reps while Claude thinks: webcam rep counting wired into Claude Code hooks, with a trash-talking coach. Project page.
  • claude-usage — your Claude quota, live in the terminal status bar (iTerm2, tmux, WezTerm, kitty, starship). Project page.
  • yapui — live HTML preview with a two-way feedback loop between you and the coding agent. Project page.
  • Vergance — gaze + voice as a hands-free input layer for macOS. Project page.
  • herdr-launcher — unofficial macOS Dock launcher for the herdr TUI.
  • LangChain FDE curriculum — a deliverable-driven curriculum for shipping production agents as a forward-deployed engineer. Project page.
  • Showcase — architecture, screenshots and engineering decisions from private work across AI, quant and mobile.
