How I work.
Three layers I keep in mind on every system — the model, the product around it, and the platform that keeps both alive.
Applied AI
Retrieval, agent orchestration, and evaluation harnesses that hold up under real traffic.
Product systems
TypeScript, Python and Go — from the first interface sketch to the deploy that carries it.
Platform
Observability, cost control, and CI that makes shipping ordinary instead of an event.
