📍 Irvine, CA | 🏠 SSWE @ Zillow | 🤖 Agentic Engineer | 🏗️ Building the blueprints for autonomous AI
Senior Software Engineer at Zillow by day, agentic engineer by night. Neck-deep in the agent stack cataloging the patterns that make LLM-powered systems actually work in production. Less vibes, more blueprints.
| Project | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
| 🌐 | openagenthub | A pattern catalog for architecting LLM-powered autonomous systems agents that reason, use tools, remember, and self-correct. Framework-agnostic, model-agnostic, production-tested. |
| 🧠 | openmem | Deterministic memory engine for AI agents. Because agents that forget are just expensive autocomplete. |
| 🌊 | drift | Fast, zero-dependency database migration tool. Everything Flyway paywalls undo, dry-run, cherry-pick, drift detection, schema diff is free and open source. |
| 🐱 | mdcat | Terminal pager for Markdown. Full colour, syntax highlighting, incremental search, and mouse support zero config. |
| 🔍 | uncanny | Offline AI-generated text detector. Sentence-level scoring, multiple detection methods, zero API calls. Privacy-first and CLI-native. |
- Mapping the agent landscape Turning scattered tribal knowledge about AI agents into structured, reusable architecture patterns
- Memory systems for agents Building the primitives that let AI systems actually learn and retain context
- Bridging demo → production Most agent demos break in prod. I'm documenting why, and how to fix it.
"Patterns over frameworks." I believe the best way to build reliable AI agents isn't picking the right library; it's understanding the underlying architecture patterns. Frameworks come and go. Good architecture compounds.
- 🍩 The username is exactly what you think it is — but plot twist, I'm a tea guy now
- 🤖 Runs multiple Claude instances like a one-man agent swarm
- 📐 Believes every AI system is just a graph of patterns waiting to be named
- 🎓 CS fundamentals enthusiast — from data structures to networking to AI
- 🍵 Powered by tea and the conviction that agents will eat software
- 📱 Loves building mobile apps just as much as shipping backend systems
"The best agent architectures aren't invented — they're discovered, documented, and shared."
