Tamas Piros
Google Developer Expert in Web Technologies. AI consultant. Writer. I've spent 25+ years shipping software, training senior engineers, and speaking at technology conferences worldwide.
Currently available for senior DevRel and AI engineering roles, and for selective consulting engagements.
I. About
Builder, teacher, advocate
I've spent 25+ years across software engineering, developer relations, and technical training, working through EMEA and APAC. Most recently I led developer advocacy at a global cloud media company, where I shaped regional DevRel strategy and delivered AI workshops and enablement programmes across the region. Earlier: principal technical instructor at an enterprise NoSQL database company, developer advocacy at an open-source AI-workflow platform, and founder of an independent training business that's reached tens of thousands of developers globally.
I'm a Google Developer Expert in Web Technologies. I hold an MBA and a BSc in Software Engineering. I've published technical books and video courses through major learning platforms, guest-lectured at a European technology university, and was named a Top 10 Best Young IT Consultant by a major professional body in 2010.
I use and build with AI every day: LLMs, vector search, agentic systems, MCP servers, on-device inference with Gemma. What I write, build, and teach comes from direct hands-on experience, not theory. That's what most AI work is missing right now.
II. Writing
Selected writing
Recent pieces on AI, agents, MCP, and building with LLMs. More in the full archive.
-
The Coordinator Agent Pattern
When the shape of the request decides the shape of the work, let an LLM dispatch. An agent coordinator built with Google ADK that routes requests to sequential, parallel, and single sub-agent teams on the fly.
-
A Local Managed Agent in Four Planes
Anthropic decoupled their agent into brain, hands, and session. I built a local TypeScript version in roughly 2,400 lines to see what the architecture actually feels like when you type it out.
-
The Loop Agent Pattern
When one pass is not enough, let agents iterate. A playlist curator built with Google ADK that generates songs, verifies them against MusicBrainz, and refines until every track checks out.
III. Talks
Speaking
I've spoken at technology conferences worldwide on AI, agents, agent harnesses, MCP, web technologies, and developer education. Recent topics include building with LLMs, agentic systems, and how AI fits into engineering and creative practice.
