About

I build production AI systems that turn messy domain workflows into reliable software. I’m the co-founder of xAGI Labs, where I work on LLM agents, RAG pipelines, evals, tool-use workflows, and AI product systems for real business operations. My work sits between research and product: taking new model capabilities and turning them into useful, dependable applications. Previously, I worked on video compression models at Amazon and founded a YC-backed developer tools company. I’m strongest at fast prototyping, product judgment, applied ML/LLM engineering, and taking ambiguous technical ideas from zero to working product. I’m especially interested in applied AI, agents, model evaluation, human-in-the-loop workflows, and infrastructure that makes AI systems more reliable in production.
