Become an
AI Agents Engineer

The future of software is agentic. Get ahead of the curve - learn to architect the systems everyone else will be scrambling to build.

The Agent Stack

The Brain

Reasoning via state machines, ReAct loops, and orchestration patterns

The Memory

Context windows, vector-backed semantic recall, and episodic persistence

The Hands

MCP servers, sandboxed execution, and agent-first API design

The Guardrails

Deterministic wrappers, LLM unit testing, and loop regression testing

Al Bundy - Shoe Salesman Agent

In Progress

What it takes to build an agent that gives personalized advice.

Shoe fitting is a classic expert-advice problem - it requires gathering personal context (running style, terrain, injuries), reasoning over a product catalog, and making a personalized recommendation. Al Bundy is a full build of that agent using Google ADK and On's real product data.

About the Author

Hi, I'm Michal.

I'm a full-stack engineer with 15+ years of experience building systems at scale at AWS and Google. The industry is shifting fast - building websites is becoming commoditized, and AI agents are emerging as the critical next frontier. Engineers who don't adapt risk being left behind.

That's why I started Practically Agents - to help experienced engineers make the leap and thrive in this new reality.
