Senior AI Engineer · AI agents · Open source

**I design, build and ship software, with AI agents on my team.**

12+ years building the whole stack, from web and mobile to DevOps. I have shipped LLM features to real customers since 2023, I lead engineering and AI in my day job, and I maintain open-source Flutter and Laravel tooling for developers who work with agents.

## Building

Three products I am building end to end: app, API, infrastructure and the AI inside.

- [Uptizm](https://uptizm.com) (Live · free plan): Uptime, incident and status-page monitoring. Every region is checked at the same moment, an incident opens on repeated failure rather than the first blip, and AI helps triage what broke.
- [Depools](https://anilcancakir.com/#building) (In development): AI-assisted inventory for small businesses and households. Photograph a receipt, scan a barcode or type "bought 2 cartons of milk", and the item lands in stock with its quantity, location and expiry date.
- [Watchools](https://anilcancakir.com/#building) (In development): An IPTV client: bring your own subscription and watch it well on every screen, with resume, offline films, picture in picture and AirPlay.

## Open source

The tooling behind those products, maintained in the open.

### Flutter packages

Open-source Flutter packages for styling, architecture, testing and debugging, built to work with AI agents.

- [Wind](https://anilcancakir.com/wind_kit): Tailwind CSS for Flutter: one className like "flex p-4 dark:bg-gray-800" replaces nested Container, BoxDecoration and EdgeInsets. (80,000+ monthly downloads · 160/160 pub points)
- Magic: Laravel-inspired Flutter framework with facades, Eloquent-style models, routing and auth, plus starter, notifications and payments packages.
- [Tapir](https://anilcancakir.com/tapir): E2E driver for Flutter apps over VM Service extensions, so Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf can drive a live app. (39 MCP tools)
- [Crumbs](https://anilcancakir.com/crumbs): Stop pasting stack traces into Claude: captures HTTP, logs, exceptions, database queries and Magic events and hands them to your agent over MCP. (10 MCP tools)
- [Dowel](https://anilcancakir.com/dowel): CLI framework and stdio MCP server for Flutter and Dart that Tapir and Crumbs build on.

### AI and developer tooling

The tools I use every day to work with agents, published as open source.

- [laravel-agent-mcp](https://github.com/anilcancakir/laravel-agent-mcp): Read-only MCP server that gives Claude Code and Cursor live access to a running Laravel app. (24 read-only tools; artisan runner off by default)
- [laravel-ai-sdk-skills](https://github.com/anilcancakir/laravel-ai-sdk-skills): Skill system for Laravel AI SDK agents, loaded by progressive disclosure. Offered upstream to laravel/ai.
- [laravel/ai](https://github.com/laravel/ai): Merged fix to tool argument handling in Laravel's official AI SDK, released in v0.1.4.
- [ac](https://github.com/anilcancakir/claude-code): Plan-first Claude Code plugin: interview-driven plans, workers routed by cost and verification after every wave.

## About

I have shipped LLM features to real customers since 2023, starting with guest messaging for holiday lets. Now I am also building my own products, on a stack I maintain in the open: Magic and Wind for Flutter, Laravel on the backend.

I work with agents the way I would with a team: they plan, write, review and verify code, and background agents check my projects daily and open an analysis when they find an error. The tools that make this work are open source.

Day to day I lead engineering and AI at Yorkshire Trading Company, a UK retailer. Behind it are 12+ years of web, mobile and DevOps.
