## Headline

Founder @ xAGI labs \| YC Alum

## 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\.
