/// HIRE
Looking for the person who turns model potential into shipped systems?
That's the job I do alone at 2am. I'd rather do it with your team.
Roles I'm targeting
- Applied AI Engineer
- Forward Deployed Engineer
- AI Systems Architect / AI Systems Design
At OpenAI or Anthropic specifically — though I'll talk to any team working at the frontier of applied AI.
What I bring
- Systems and user outcomes, not model metrics.
- Debugging messy, real-world failures and turning them into improvements.
- The applied layer — end to end.
- AI-native by default. Models write a lot of my code. I own every decision and can defend all of them.
- Move fast and measure. Real costs, real latencies, shipped.
Proof, not adjectives
- Mnemix — contextual intelligence orchestration. Caller memory in under 300ms on the warm path.
- heycli — multi-agent orchestrator pushing prompts to Claude Code, Codex, and Aider from one source-of-truth.
- dockerfile.ai, Retention Lab, memory primitives — small, runnable tools, each solving one real problem.
- Public builder logs — I write up how these systems work and where they break.
On credentials
No CS degree — I dropped out. I bet on shipped systems and the ability to explain every decision in them over a line on a résumé. If you want to test that, the fastest way is to ask me about any decision in the work above and then ask me to change it. That's the whole interview, and it's the conversation I want.
Reach out
The fastest way in is a direct message. I respond to everything.
