Summary
Danny Lake is a Staff Architect specializing in designing and operationalizing agentic AI systems, with 15+ years in software and eight years focused on architecting production-ready agent workflows. Based in Victoria, BC, he blends hands-on engineering, technical architecture, and customer delivery to convert complex operational processes into observable, auditable, and resilient agent-driven solutions that integrate knowledge graphs, vector stores, and transactional systems. He has progressed from service desk and web development roles to leading product and AI architecture at Orium, where he shapes standards for monitoring, evaluation, and safe agent behavior while mentoring teams. Notably, Danny works across research, prototyping, and delivery at once—bridging emergent agent runtimes and LLM providers with deterministic operational constraints to make ambitious automation feasible and trustworthy.
