I care about
how it feels
to build.

I care about the parts of a developer's day that get in the way of actually building something. At Technergetics, one of those was getting a local environment running. I built a Tilt/k3d project that brought setup down from more than a day to a few hours, and dozens of engineers used it.

I'm a Software Engineer III and tech lead for the AI platform domain. I own the architecture and roadmap, and I still write code. I led a three-person platform team through 2024.

I want people to understand what we're building and have a say in how we build it. Giving a team room to do work they're proud of matters to me.

My background is in computer science, applied mathematics, and data science. I'm still interested in small models for retrieval and reasoning, so I build and test them in PyTorch.

I also build Vivazo, a Rust game engine for the browser, and run a Kubernetes homelab beside my desk. I enjoy the systems work, but I also care about the interfaces: making something intuitive for the person using it.
