about
I started in engineering, crossed into product, and ended up spending most of my time on agentic systems and the evals that keep them honest. That's the loudest part of my work right now, but not the only part — I've shipped across checkout, identity, and commerce at scale, and I care a lot about the unsexy stuff like measurement, trust, and what “working” actually means in production. Outside of work, I run half-marathons (slowly, happily), read more than is probably reasonable, and have a well-documented soft spot for elephants.

Chip Huyen on the gap between demos and production. The most grounded take on evaluation I've found.
Long, opinionated, and genuinely useful for thinking about where AI development is headed at the macro level.
Describes the exact mindset I try to hire for. Good framing for PM-eng collaboration too.
PG at his most earnest. The advice about following your curiosity over prestige is the one I keep coming back to.
Lilian Weng's definitive survey of LLM agent architectures. Dense, precise, worth re-reading every 6 months.
Sutton's argument that general methods leveraging compute always win. Required reading before any architecture debate.
