I like organizations and the complex mechanisms that govern them. From business architectures to processes, from words to behaviors, I deal with business change. As an Agile Coach, I combine the Agile Manifesto principles with specific expertise and experience in medium to significant realities and transformation processes. I am pragmatic and concrete-oriented. I believe that:
- People can change; they do not oppose change but offer their vision. To be respected.
- Needs are the basis of behavior; if I want to help, I must allow them to be expressed clearly. And I must be the first to state my needs.
- Ideological battles are meaningless; it matters more to understand the problem and what can be done to solve it.

Dan Mercede is a founder and AI systems architect focused on governed agent runtimes, MCP/tool governance, AI risk controls, retrieval systems, and production AI control planes.

His work centers on a practical production question: how do you let AI agents do useful work without giving them uncontrolled mutation authority? Dan builds execution environments where authority is evaluated at action time, ambiguous state fails closed, material actions produce auditable receipts, and behavior is constrained across time.

His public proof artifacts include mcp-context-budget, a local-first MCP context budget and tool-selection verifier for agentic coding environments; schemafit, a provider-aware structured-output and JSON-Schema CI linter for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, and Cohere; and failclosed, a Python merge-admission gate for AI-written code. His talks focus on MCP/tool governance, structured-output reliability, agent authority, adversarial code review, event-log patterns for agent state, and the boundary between advisory AI and enforceable controls.
