Building tools that help people see their data — and agents that help them act on it.
I'm Eric. I work on developer experience and enterprise agent tooling at IBM — including Astra DB and Langflow — and joined via the DataStax acquisition. Before that: DataStax, Daisi, Chief Data Scientist at Omni Analytics, and a PhD at Iowa State in Statistics & Computer Science — where I helped match bullets to the guns that fired them.
