Founding AI Engineer

About

Founding Member, OpenHands Champions Program one of fewer than 10 engineers selected globally in the inaugural cohort. My code runs in production inside repos with 220K+ combined GitHub stars..not a side-project flex it's infrastructure other engineers depend on without knowing my name. What I've actually shipped: 17+ merged PRs across 8 open-source projects Astro (58K★, fixed a CSS double-bundling bug now shipped in v5.16.11), mem0 (54K★), Superglue (closed an SSRF hole that had been sitting undetected in production), Multigres, and the OpenHands SDK itself, where I'm one of the most active outside contributors. Built Agent Sandbox Runtime a secure, decoupled execution environment for autonomous agents. 1,200+ daily executions, 99.9% uptime, sub-100ms streaming latency, full Docker/AWS EKS orchestration. Stack: Python · Go · TypeScript · FastAPI · LangGraph · Kubernetes · AWS · Redis I don't do status updates. Give me something genuinely broken and ambiguous I'll come back with a working system, usually before your team finishes writing the ticket. Currently looking for a founding engineer role where the infra doesn't exist yet. Pre-PMF, and your biggest bottleneck is "someone needs to just build the thing"? That's me.
