About

In the 1990s, my dad worked on Windows 95 localization for Microsoft and was keen on computers. Because of this, I was fortunate enough to grow up with access to some really cool hardware and software.

This led me to insatiable curiosity about what could be done and what could be tinkered with. I know the ocean of possibility is limitless, and this fuels my day-to-day.

I have experience with a wide range of technologies, including hardware, software engineering, cybersecurity, compliance, and both contemporary software and physical server infrastructure.

Nowadays, my primary focus is on making full-stack apps as simple as possible to ship, with a heavy focus on backend and infrastructure.

AI in engineering

How I use agents and tooling

Repeatable harnesses around models, tools, and context so agents can ship reviewed code, docs, and fixes. Human review stays on critical paths.

Models
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor Agent by task: reasoning, codegen, review, exploration.
Environment
Cursor agent mode, rules, MCP servers, and reusable skills for PR triage, SDK work, hooks, and automations.
Context
AGENTS.md, scoped prompts, and tool access to keep agents on-task.
Use cases
APIs, tests, refactors, infra docs, debugging, and CI triage.
