Alex Tingiris

I build systems for people trying to do ambitious things.

I built Tonic, an agentic orchestration platform. Then a friend and I started Tonic Agentic, an agentic workflows studio, to deliver business outcomes using it.

I'm interested in systems that help people make better decisions: business models agents can reason over, interfaces that make AI inspectable, and workflows that turn messy context into clearer judgment.

I started building software young, mostly for small businesses and early-stage companies. I started college at Colgate in 2019, left during the pandemic, and finished at Boulder in 2025.

I live in San Francisco. Outside of work, I'm usually around music, or in the water or the mountains with friends.

Lessons

  • 1The hard part is not building the agent. It is defining the work clearly enough that an agent belongs there.
  • 2A workflow is not real until someone changes their week around it.
  • 3Services can be a research lab for product when they stay close to real constraints.

Timeline

Spacing is perception-weighted, not calendar-linear: each month gets visual width by memory = development(age) * recency(progress). Childhood is compressed because memory and identity are still coming online; the present expands because it feels denser and more available.
