I build products end-to-end. I've built & maintained production AI applications for businesses: from RAG and indexing pipelines, customized agent harnesses, to workflow automation at scale since 2024. I care about reliability, guardrails, and applicability.

Personal Work

  • alfred
    My open-source personal assistant. The app has its own custom agent-harness with in-house workflow engine, automation planning, history, approvals, with Replicache for instant updates. Supporting cross-integration (linear, github, sentry) RAG and reply drafting in user's tone here. This is the core behind the boss-worker harness I built specifically for this and how it powers every workflow in the app.
  • warden
    Production code review agent with Merkle-backed incremental indexing, multi-agent AI harness, OSV vuln triage, issue memory, eval suite, and false-positive tracking.

Writings

Extremely scalable solutions to context bloat and hitting prompt caches.

Multi agent harness architecture

fixing context pollution, orchestrating a boss model with a swarm of subagents, and implementing a lazy tool surface.

Practical AI-assisted programming
