Backend Platforms · Agent Infrastructure · Applied AI
Building backend platforms and tools for getting useful work out of AI agents. At Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, I spent more than nine years on deployment, orchestration, and CI/CD systems. Now developing tools to keep agent sessions on track and test whether the software they produce does what was asked.
About
Directing agent implementation, resolving ambiguous requirements, and delivering useful software with evidence supporting its behavior.
Work
OCI deployment systems, a desktop manager for coding-agent sessions, and tools for evaluating software through its actual behavior. What each does, why I’m building it, and where it stands.
Experience
Backend and platform engineering at Oracle, AI systems at KnowData AI, plus personal-safety software and Microsoft meeting-room products.
Let's work together
I’m interested in senior engineering roles in applied AI, agent infrastructure, backend platforms, and developer productivity. Based in Seattle; open to remote, hybrid, and local on-site work.
