ShopQuantum.AI & FangBot.AI

Two products in the same agent runtime: a storefront that operates without a human in the loop, and a virtual business with 59+ AI employees.

Penguin Secret Agency is building the surfaces and the runtime for autonomous commerce. I joined in May 2025 as a fullstack engineer to work on both products that sit on top of that runtime.

ShopQuantum.AI is the storefront layer — the customer-facing experience that lets an autonomous shop run pricing, listings, and order ops without a person clicking through admin. FangBot.AI is the agent business layer — 59+ specialised AI employees running sales, marketing, support, and ops on a virtual roster.

My day-to-day is React/Next.js on the surfaces humans touch, and Python + Node on the runtime the agents live in. The new muscle I'm building: designing the seams where deterministic code hands control to a probabilistic agent — and the override paths a human takes back when the agent gets it wrong.

  • Built customer-facing storefront flows in Next.js App Router and Server Components.
  • Designed agent ↔ deterministic-code seams with explicit override paths.
  • Owned several Python services in the agent runtime alongside Node API layers.
  • Wired typed contracts between the agent tool calls and the order/inventory side-effects.
  • The seam between deterministic code and a probabilistic agent is the most important interface I've designed.
  • The hardest part of agentic systems is the part where the agent is wrong — design the override before the happy path.
  • Logging tool calls beats logging prompts: the prompt explains intent, the tool call explains effect.
