# Loop Engineering by Rafael Mendiola

> A code-first presentation by Rafael Mendiola, co-founder and product engineer at okthink.ai, about reliable autonomous software work based on a production migration from Vite to Expo.

Rafael Mendiola is the co-founder and product engineer at okthink.ai, which he is building with co-founder Margaret Pieczkowski. The talk explains why repeated prompting is not enough for trustworthy agent work. It develops a loop-engineering practice built around perception, durable memory, executable evaluation, evidence, guardrails, and explicit stop rules. The interactive deck is the primary human experience. Prefer the Markdown overview when working without a browser. Speaker notes are private and are not part of the public production site.
