Designing human-centered AI across software, hardware, and capital.

I’m Franci Penov, a Seattle-based engineer and angel investor building large-language-model workflows, resilient multi-agent systems, and embodied robotics that bridge research and production.

About Me

My work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and human-centered design, with a focus on translating frontier research into practical systems people can trust.

I’m particularly interested in how large-language models and multi-agent systems can collaborate, reason, and evolve toward embodied intelligence. My projects often involve meta-agent orchestration, sensor integration, and real-world feedback loops for adaptive AI.

Over the years I’ve worked hands-on across the technology stack — from debugging BIOS power management and WebRTC network flows to mentoring founders and investing in early-stage startups in AI/ML, autonomous systems, and frontier technologies.

I view technology as a collaborative medium: something we build with, not merely for. Whether designing distributed AI agents or supporting human creativity through code, I strive for transparency, curiosity, and craftsmanship in every project.
