Now
What I'm focused on right now.
A page in the spirit of Derek Sivers' nownownow.com. A snapshot, not a résumé.

Work
- Langflow, IBM. Core maintainer. Current PR queue: MCP auth resilience, watsonx Orchestrate tests, the Langflow SDK release workflow, and ToolGuard policies.
- AI Workbench. Building the self-hosted Astra workbench for retrieval-backed applications: knowledge bases, ingest, retrieval experiments, agents, MCP, and runtime operations.
- Developer and Operator Experience team. Making Langflow easier to run in production and easier to hack on in development — the two usually want different things.
Side projects
- Verity. My main project outside of work: an open, domain-general engine for forensic surface comparison — calibrated likelihood ratios, not black-box "matches," from 3-D scans of bullets, cartridge cases, and toolmarks. Project notes · verity.codes · source.
- Aeroza. Open-source weather infrastructure for live radar, geospatial queries, streaming APIs, nowcasting, and forecast verification. Project notes · source.
- Rewriting this site (done — you are reading it).
- Occasional pushes to bulletxtrctr and the CSAFE bullet-matching pipeline.
- OmniacsDAO — Numerai tooling,
experiment-builder,letter-loops.
Reading & learning
- Papers on agent tool-use evaluation and MCP security boundaries.
- Rust, no longer for no good reason — Verity's X3P codec is written in it.
Not doing
- Conference travel (remote-first for 2026).
- New consulting engagements — day job at IBM has my full attention.
