About
I work on agent systems and evaluation infrastructure. By day I build at a large language model company. Outside work I run EvalOps, a small research lab focused on reliability.
My work centers on systems and tooling: runtimes, eval harnesses, and automation that make model behavior measurable.
A background in security (Vanta, ThreatKey, Snap) shapes how I think about boundaries, data handling, and failure modes.

Beyond work
Outside work, I spend time in San Francisco, cook often, and keep a sourdough starter named Doughvid. Long walks and long drives are where most new ideas show up.
