Chris Waterson builds infrastructure to run AI agents reliably in production. Before co-founding Guild.ai, he contributed to deep learning ranking models at Google and led the team behind Meta’s internal agentic coding framework.
He cares about the operational systems that surround AI models, like access controls and observability. In his talk on The Missing Infrastructure for AI Agents, Chris breaks down why developers fall into the prototype trap and how to transition from local demos to secure, scalable execution environments.
