I’m a software engineer living in San Diego. Previously I worked on 7TB search infrastructure at Clado and SRE at Amazon. This is my blog where I post about things I’m interested in, mostly related to agents

I'm excited about:

  • Improving coding agents through RL and scaffolding in order to obviate tedious knowledge work
  • Using LLMs to build search and retrieval systems that operate on internet scale
