Consulting at a YC-backed stealth design tool where agents and designers ship together. • Frontend architecture for an editor used by humans and agents at once • MCP integration so coding agents can drive the product • Workflows for exploring multiple design directions in parallel • Visual feedback that turns into agent-committed code changes • Pushing on traceability and latency for agent runs Stack: React, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, LLM workflows, MCPs, agentic orchestration.

- Led full‑stack annotation platform rearchitecture (frontend, APIs, PostgreSQL), adding flexible workflows, permissions, and consolidated large‑dataset views; shipped via LaunchDarkly. Retained an estimated 10–20% ARR at risk and moved off‑platform labeling back in‑product. - Delivered first in‑product synthetic data generation with guarded commits and durable artifacts (run history, favorites, comparisons); became a roadmap feature and drove strong customer interest. - Productized multiple hackathon wins; compressed idea‑to‑ship from weeks to days and standardized feature flags/API contracts to unblock teams.

- Drove monolith → microfrontends (Webpack Module Federation), standardizing module boundaries, shared libs, and CI; improved independent deployments and reduced cross‑team coupling. - Shipped warehouse and last‑mile tracking features with resilient UI and real‑time state; instrumented New Relic to guide cost/UX tradeoffs, switching to Google Static Maps when appropriate.

Software Architect @ YC-backed stealth | Agentic Software Engineer | Ex-Snorkel AI | Orchestrating agents to ship full-stack products, infra, design, and AI workflows

About

Senior engineering in 2026 isn't about writing more code. It's about orchestrating products, infra, design, and AI workflows end-to-end at agentic speed. ⚙️ After 10 years as a senior engineer at Snorkel AI, Locus, and CatalystOne, that's where I'm placing my full bet. Right now: • Software Architect at a YC-backed stealth startup building a design tool • Shipping Statements AI — fragmented PDF bank statements → clean Excel/CSV in seconds (statements-ai.app)🏦 • Building ShareMoney — the painless way to split, track, and settle group expenses Talks I've been giving: • "The Future of AI Coding: Agents, MCPs, and Autonomous Workflows" • "Shipping React Faster with AI — Without Sacrificing Quality" • "Building with AI in Engineering Teams: Parallelize, Converge, and Ship with Confidence" Stack & range: React, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, full-stack architecture, design systems, LLM workflows, MCPs, agentic orchestration. From product to infra to AI workflows — shipped end-to-end. If you're betting on the agentic era too, let's compare notes. DMs open. 🚀
