Tristan Paton
Solutions Engineer at Chronograph
Designing agentic systems for private markets. Getting an LLM to answer is easy. Getting one you'd trust against a client's real capital data is the actual job. I help build agentic tooling against multi-tenant data and put it in front of the people who depend on it.
- Agentic tooling for technical ops — harnesses for identity configuration and multi-tenant data investigations, built on an internal MCP environments.
- SSO & identity engineering for institutional LP and GP clients — provisioning, federation, and the configuration work.
- Evaluating and hardening agents against production financial data, where a plausible-but-wrong answer is the failure mode that actually costs you.
- Private-markets domain fluency — IRR, MOIC, NAV, capital calls, LP/GP reporting — so the tooling understands what the numbers mean, not just their shape.
- The technical escalation point — where client problems land when they're technical, weird, and time-sensitive.
Before all this: Computer Science and French at Denison.

Interests
Outside of work: I play drums - jazz mostly, a bit of funk and rock. I take photos of the places I go and the people I meet, and I read a lot about AI, space, and a good amount of sci-fi. Lately it's been AI policy and safety, semiconductors, and US-China export controls. I speak French and German, love to cook, and need to be outside - hiking, surfing, biking, skiing.
