About

Kerry Panchoo

Agentic Orchestration Consultant · Software Architect

30+ years building production systems. Two Master’s in AI from when neural networks were academic curiosities. Career arc from expert systems to infrastructure to agentic orchestration.

The Name

Applied Minds = Neurosymbolic × Engineering

Minds — symbolic AI + neural networks, the neurosymbolic foundation. Agents that reason about constraints, not just predict tokens.

Applied — real-world engineering over pure theory. If it can’t survive production traffic, adversarial inputs, and Monday mornings, it doesn’t ship.

Career Arc

Three Decades, One Thread

Early AI (1994-2000)

Expert systems in Prolog. Symbolic reasoning when everyone else was doing databases. Two Master’s programs at Sheffield and Sussex.

Infrastructure (2000-2023)

HTC Condor clusters, email systems, video platforms, enterprise architecture. Every way distributed systems can fail — seen firsthand.

Convergence (2024+)

Agentic orchestration. Everything converges: symbolic AI discipline, infrastructure reliability, neural network capability. Applied Minds AI.

I’ve seen every way systems fail. That’s why every agent runs in a sandbox.
