# Anto Joel Valan Mutharasu (Anto Joel)

> Product & AI Engineer — Voice AI & Agent Infrastructure. Product Engineer at Machani Robotics, Bengaluru, India. Product and AI engineer who ships real-time voice AI agents and agent infrastructure to production on real hardware. Built a sub-1000ms speech-to-speech AI system in production on deployed robots across the US, UK, and India, plus the MCP servers and NATS messaging backbone behind it. Leads a multidisciplinary rapid prototyping team that turns concepts into working builds in hours. Previously led engineering for five technology ventures across India and Dubai (banking automation, RWA tokenization, enterprise ERP), all still operational.

Usually called "Anto Joel". Positioning: "I run products like businesses." Open to: Product leadership roles, 0-to-1 builds, and advisory on document automation or asset tokenization. If it involves turning a business problem into a shipped product, I'm interested.

## Writing
- [My portfolio is an MCP server that takes payments](https://www.antojoel.com/writing/portfolio-mcp-server-x402): How antojoel.com serves AI agents over MCP, settles USDC over x402 only when a message is delivered, and why the paid tool costs 99 cents.
