Work

My goal is to help the industry quantify and align AI behavior: to measure what AI systems actually do, and make sure it matches what we intend. Here’s the road that led me here.

  1. Lindy

    –, Software Engineer

    Joined as engineer #12 and the first growth engineer, then led reliability on the core AI agent framework. Cut monthly AI spend by over $200K and P99 LLM latency by 2.5×, and built online evals and agent monitoring: agents that watch other agents.

  2. Federato

    –, Software Engineer & Technical Project Manager

    Joined at Series A as engineer #7 on an AI-powered insurance underwriting platform. Built the web app, its GraphQL API and an accessible component library, then also led client projects from scoping to deployment.

  3. Meta

    , Frontend Engineer Intern, Infrastructure

    Built an internal infrastructure app around complex graph-traversal algorithms in React and Recoil, with back-end services in Hack.

  4. Facebook

    , Frontend Engineer Intern, AI Research

    Contributed to Mephisto, Facebook AI Research’s open-source platform for crowdsourcing AI training data, including an end-to-end testing framework and a published React review template.

  5. Kinme Technologies

    , Lead & Founding Frontend Engineer

    Built the web app for a Canadian real-estate services marketplace from scratch, through to a private beta with about 100 clients.

  6. SAP

    , Software Developer Intern

    Two internships: Android SDK performance work demoed to customers every month, then big-data tooling where I raised test coverage to 83.5%.
