Resume
Principal Software Engineer
Principal Software Engineer obsessed with how software feels to use, building at the front of the AI shift. I architect production AI systems end to end, agent-first, with security and observability built in. I start with structure, cut without mercy, and ship the few things that earn their place.
Recent technical work
Mechanistic interpretability
Work on model internals: attribution, features, and using those findings to debug and constrain production behavior.
Guardrail architecture
Design of guardrail systems for production models: policy, evals, and runtime checks for behavior that is hard to specify in advance.
Agentic architecture
Architecture for agent systems: tool use, orchestration, and control of software that acts.
Evaluation harnesses
Evaluation harnesses and evals for production model systems. Correctness, regression detection, and safe behavior in non-deterministic environments.
Fine-tuning & model training
Fine-tuned models for production use cases. Trained embedding-based models and BERT classifiers for domain-specific tasks, including data pipelines, training loops, and evaluation.
Security instrumentation for modern workflows
Built sensors and analysis systems for developer toolchains and agent-driven workflows, catching supply-chain and behavioral risks that standard tooling misses.
