about me.
if you're reading this, you're probably trying to ship ambitious ai agents without lighting production on fire. same. by day i architect enterprise agent systems at a large language model company. nights and weekends i run evalops, focused on making agents reliable enough for real work.
i don't just write prompts. i build systems where agents reason, plan, and execute complex workflows. using tools like dspy, mcp, and custom runtimes, i build agents that can improve their own performance over time and handle ambiguity without breaking.
my background in security (vanta, threatkey, snap) means i build these systems to be robust. i know that an agent isn't useful if it's hallucinating or leaking data, so i bake reliability and evaluation into the core architecture.
translation: i obsess over durable systems, crisp feedback loops, and agents that earn their keep in production.

beyond work
when i'm not building agents, you'll find me slow-walking san francisco's 49-mile scenic route, cooking dishes from my travels across 37 countries, or hosting pizza nights featuring doughvid—my temperamental but talented sourdough starter. i believe the best ideas come from diverse experiences, whether that's exploring a new neighborhood, perfecting a recipe, or debugging code at 2 AM.
