I am Eric Kao, an agentic AI engineer and full-stack software engineer based in the Bay Area with over nine years of professional experience. At HomeLight, I design and implement LangChain workflows and AI agents that automate complex real estate transaction processes — reducing hours of manual work across closings, mortgages, and operations.
My background spans agentic AI, backend automation, and full-stack development across React, Ruby on Rails, Node, and TypeScript. I bridge the gap between product, engineering, and business needs — whether that means architecting multi-step AI pipelines, building webhook-driven services, or shipping consumer-facing applications.
Through KaoDev, I also build AI-powered and web solutions for clients and business owners, transforming loose requirements into production-ready systems. I've collaborated with teams ranging from early-stage startups to large, publicly traded companies across real estate, web3, e-commerce, and ed-tech.
I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of what AI agents can automate in real-world workflows — and I'm always exploring new frameworks, tools, and approaches to make that happen.
