What I'm shipping
The work on my calendar this month. Most of it blends research, systems architecture, and operations.
architecting a secure runtime for autonomous agents to execute code and tools safely.
building self-improving prompt optimization pipelines that beat human baselines.
shipping multi-model orchestration that hands off complex tasks between claude and gemini.
What I'm reading
The ideas shaping how I build right now. I keep a longer list on the reading page.
The Dream Machine
re-reading it to stay grounded in why we build tools for other people, not just ourselves.
Recent Anthropic red-teaming papers
pulling ideas for automated behavioral probes we can adapt for production workloads.
Engineering Management for the Rest of Us
using the hiring and feedback chapters with founders I advise.
What I'm chewing on
- how to make agents self-correct without getting stuck in infinite loops.
- patterns for secure tool execution that do not cripple agent agency.
- whether multi-model deliberation is the most efficient path to higher reasoning capabilities.
Want the longer arc? I post monthly logs on the blog and share in-progress prototypes on GitHub.
