AboutBlogGitHub
I'm an engineer based in NYC 🗽, working at Linear, where I predominantly work on infrastructure and backend problems.
On nights & weekends, I'm currently exploring a research problem on ways to enhance LLM performance on software engineering tasks (blog post soon!) and working on an open-source AI agent orchestration tool.
Previously, I've worked at:
  • Meta on Buck2 (Rust)
    Meta's incremental build system
    , enhancing build observability for the majority of Meta's CI runs
  • Cockroach Labs on Pebble (Go)
    RocksDB inspired KV store, powering CockroachDB
    , improving the performance of the storage engine handling petabytes of data
  • Splunk on the Release Train (Go)
    Programmatically coordinating releases across Splunk's production fleet
    team, shortening the release process in a Kubernetes cluster with 10,000s of nodes
I'm interested in high-performance computing, distributed systems, and systems programming.

Feel free to reach out on Twitter or over email – I'm always open to chat or grab a coffee!
