Nick Talwar will teach you to take agentic AI to production

I’ve spent 20+ years in the gap between the boardroom and the codebase: building software, machine learning, AI, and data systems at Microsoft, startups from Seed to Series E, and regulated companies. I’ve been a CTO, founder, engineering leader, and principal engineer with a career spent turning ambitious ideas into systems teams can actually operate and scale. Today, I’m CTO and Partner at Bottega8, where we design and deploy production agentic AI systems for high-stakes environments. I focus on the hard part after the demo: reliability, observability, governance, economics, and organizational fit. I teach how to decide what to automate, what should stay deterministic, where humans belong in the loop, how to evaluate agents, and how to build AI systems that survive production at scale.
