agentic-engineer.online is my publicly testable live demo and at the same time the platform where I show my work. Originally created as a recruitment trial task, I have since continued to run it as my own demo, learning, and product project — on a Hetzner VPS behind a Cloudflare tunnel, through a multi-stage AI-orchestrated deploy pipeline with snapshot rollback. If a deploy step breaks, the system falls back to the last clean snapshot, the script is adjusted, the test repeated — empirical, test-driven, without hand tuning.

• Technically behind it: Python and FastAPI, an OpenRouter model cascade, SQLite persistence, and Cloudflare edge tuning.
• I am the developer and the strictest customer of my own AI work in one person — what started as a prototype has become a tool I use every day and against which I test my own products.
