Fred Patton is a Senior Developer Advocate at Auth0 for Okta, where he focuses on the intersection of identity, governance, and AI systems design. His current work explores how ambient agents—continuous, event-driven AI processes—can remain scalable, efficient, and policy-aware.
Before joining Auth0, Fred built and advocated for real-time streaming architectures at Nstream (formerly Swim.ai), working across data, security, and healthtech. He writes and speaks on context-aware AI agents and governable autonomy, helping developers design AI systems that are not only powerful, but accountable.
