Senior startup product engineer
I build AI products and production systems.
I turn ambiguous startup problems into shipped software—from customer workflows and React interfaces to Python, Go, and Node.js services, CI/CD, and production operations.
- 5+ years in startups

- Open-source builder
Selected work
Products with technical depth
Three examples spanning developer tools, local AI infrastructure, and edge-model compatibility.
Developer tooling
A Go utility that turns a repository into focused, copy-ready context for an LLM—built before agentic coding tools made the workflow commonplace.
System shape
- Problem:
- Give an LLM useful repository context without manual file-by-file copying.
- Proof:
- Public source and a reusable command-line workflow.
Engineering contribution
Designed and shipped the complete Go-based workflow as an open-source tool.
Local AI infrastructure
An OpenAI-compatible FastAPI bridge that lets Claude Code use local models accelerated by MLX on Apple silicon.
System shape
- Problem:
- Connect an agentic coding client to fast, private local inference.
- Proof:
- Open-source implementation for Apple M-series hardware.
Engineering contribution
Built the compatibility layer and model-serving integration.
Edge AI compatibility
An OpenAI-compatible API on Cloudflare Workers AI, designed so existing SDK-based applications can use new models without rewriting their client integrations.
System shape
- Problem:
- Let OpenAI SDK integrations target Workers AI through a familiar API surface.
- Proof:
- 280 GitHub stars and 68 forks as of August 2026.
Engineering contribution
Implemented compatibility routes for chat and text completions, embeddings, audio transcription and translation, and image generation.
