building small tools
that make messy workflows
legible

• building agentic workflows and dev tools
• interested in interfaces that turn chaos into leverage
• usually debugging the boundary between humans, code, and systems

• automation - scripts, agents, and workflow glue
• web surfaces - fast prototypes with product-level polish
• infra - local-first setups, CLI tools, and reproducible environments
• systems taste - making hidden complexity observable and operable

Organizations and ecosystems I have contributed to:

@finalroundai product surfaces, automation, workflow glue

@anthropics AI systems and agent-facing interfaces

@OpenBMB open-source AI infra and model ecosystem

Project list:

  microsoft/pg_durable -> PostgreSQL durable execution

  bookorbit/bookorbit -> reading space and EPUB workflows
  DietrichGebert/ponytail -> agent workflow hooks
  OpenBMB/PilotDeck -> agent productivity platform
