I’m Kyle Stratis, software engineer, writer, metalhead, and easily distracted. I am currently the principal consultant and founder of Stratis Data Labs as well as the VP of Engineering at The Sequel Institute. At Stratis Data Labs, I help bootstrap and augment engineering teams, bringing my data and AI experience to bear on the most interesting problems facing both rapidly growing startups and massive enterprises. If this sounds like something you might need in your organizations, give me a shout.

At The Sequel Institute, I help usher brilliant research work into production while actively contributing on the research side. I am currently working on my first full-length book, AI Agents with MCP, which is a practical guide to Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol, and gives readers the ability to confidently understand the protocol holistically by implementing and using all of its features.

The Edge Cases is my perosnal blog, where everything that interests me enough to write about it belongs. I post tutorials, articles, notes, and interesting links here. You might find posts about programming, old tech, ham radio, metal, software-defined radio, AI, bodybuilding, machine learning and data engineering, Python, learning languages, and a dozen other loosely related things.

You can find even more of my writing over at The Signal Path, a sporadically published newsletter, covering AI news and hype.
