I am a full-stack AI software engineer. Trained as a physician, I left clinical medicine in 2025 to focus on software engineering. My day-to-day work centers on building agent harnesses and the engineering around coding agents so their output can be trusted.
Outside of work, I build and maintain open-source tools for research workflows and knowledge management.
