I’m a software engineer at IBM on the Developer and Operator Experience team,
where I’m a core maintainer of Langflow.
My work sits at the boundary between the clean API a developer wants and the messy production
system that has to keep working: agent tools, MCP, authentication, model providers, retrieval,
packaging, SDKs, and release pipelines.
Before agents, I worked on statistical evidence. I earned dual undergraduate degrees in
Statistics and Computer Engineering from the University of Washington, then a PhD in Statistics
and Computer Science at Iowa State. My dissertation developed reproducible methods for comparing
3D scans of spent bullets. That research now has a second life in
Verity, an open engine for calibrated forensic surface comparison.
I also build Aeroza, a weather platform organized around a similar
idea: forecasts should be queryable, testable, and scored against what actually happened. The
domains are different; the instinct is the same.
I live north of Seattle with my partner and our two cats. Away from the terminal, I’m usually
gaming, following Pacific Northwest weather, or convincing myself that one more side project is
a reasonable way to spend a weekend.
