What I'm working on.

Day job

Still at PortfolioPilot, still building both halves of the system: the next iteration of the quant engine internals, deeper agent tool-use on the AI surface, and a few user-facing features that are still under wraps.

Side

Rebuilt this site from the ground up. The version you're reading now is hand-crafted in Astro, deployed on Cloudflare, and includes a "chat with my career" feature I'm still tightening. The old site was a 2017 jQuery template and it had served its purpose.

Reading

• The latest stack of Alignment Forum posts on agent evaluation.
• Designing Data-Intensive Applications, again. It rewards re-reading.
• Whatever Simon Willison has shipped this week.

Learning

Espresso. Specifically: the gap between "I made coffee" and "I made the same coffee twice in a row."

Open to

Founding-engineer or first-AI-engineer conversations at AI-forward seed/Series A teams. Also happy to consult on agent infra and AI-product architecture for short engagements with teams who already know they need it.
