About
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.
