Hey, I鈥檓 Alex

I help teams turn scattered tools intooperating intelligence.

I鈥檓 Alex Cinovoj, Founder & CTO, TechTide AI. I help operators, AI teams, and service businesses connect the tools they already own into one usable operating layer, so they can answer expensive workflow questions without chasing five tabs and three people.

02 / TechTide AI

TechTide AI and Workflow Intelligence

TechTide AI is the AI-automation agency Alex founded to build workflow intelligence for operators. It connects CRM, billing, support, docs, spreadsheets, inboxes, project tools, and AI tools into one usable operating layer, then puts agents on top that answer expensive workflow questions with real business context.

Serious implementations start with the Workflow Intelligence Audit at TechTide AI, a scoped diagnostic before any code is written.

My projects

Agent governance and control-plane systems, open source where public, described where private.

Open source 路 MIT

ClawKeeper

110-agent finance platform where a deterministic policy engine runs tenant, capability, and approval checks before any LLM call. $0 default autonomous spend, database-enforced immutable audit log.

Open source 路 Apache 2.0

TechTide Harness Kit

Trust contracts as JSON Schema: risk tiers, tool permissions, deny-by-default egress, approval gates, compliance mappings. Prompt-injection threat model with adversarial fixtures, ~28 CI gates.

Open source 路 Apache 2.0

CipherClaw

Multi-agent debugger with zero LLM calls in the analysis path: causal graphs, weighted root-cause scoring, failure prediction. 206 zero-mock tests, zero runtime deps, no network egress.

Swarm 357

357-agent orchestrator governed by per-agent budget caps, a pattern-matched bash security gate, auto-downgrade daily budgets, a hard per-run spend ceiling, and correlation-ID telemetry.

03 / Talks & workshops

Speaking and Workshops

Alex speaks and runs workshops on production AI, workflow intelligence, operating layers over point tools, and why most AI pilots stall before they reach real business systems. Talks come out of live implementation work at TechTide AI, with no slideware and no vendor spin.

Speaking & workshops
  • Workflow intelligence: making AI useful across real business systems
  • Why AI pilots fail (and what production actually requires)
  • Operating layers over point tools: the connective tissue thesis
  • From n8n to autonomous agents without losing your team

04 / Podcast & media

Automation Vibes

Automation Vibes is the co-hosted, operator-led podcast Alex runs on production AI and automation that actually stick. Each episode is a field report from real implementations, covering tool teardowns, why-it-broke postmortems, and what a serious team would ship next week.

05 / Operator background

Operator Background

Alex is a 13-year US enterprise IT operator whose career compounded from the help desk into systems and cloud engineering, then architecture, and finally into full-time AI implementation as Founder & CTO, TechTide AI. Every layer of the operating intelligence thesis was learned inside real businesses, not invented on a slide.

  1. 2013 to 2016

    Help desk & field ops

    Frontline support inside US enterprises. Learned how work actually moves, from tickets and exceptions to the humans who route them.

  2. 2016 to 2020

    Systems & cloud engineering

    Systems administration, cloud migrations, identity, monitoring. The connective plumbing under the org chart.

  3. 2020 to 2023

    Architecture & platform work

    Designing across CRMs, billing, support, and internal tools. Watching where integrations fail, and how much money leaks through the seams.

  4. 2024 to now

    TechTide AI, Founder & CTO

    Two years focused on AI implementation. 50+ production agents. 250+ n8n automations. Building the operating layer this whole arc was preparing me to build.

Memo 路 June 2026

An AI-first human, talking to machines.

I build with AI agents the same way I think. Out loud. Voice in, code out. Wispr Flow is my keyboard now.

Same lineage as Ali K. and the AI-native engineering crowd. The fastest interface to a model is your mouth.

Nickname

Orchestrates code reviews, cleans repos, ships dictation-grade commits. Voice is how I move through the codebase.
