What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build and scale reliable AI agents and retrieval systems—owning the infrastructure, evaluations, and product outcomes—while shipping measurable improvements for developers in production.

I build production AI systems end to end—especially agents, context retrieval, evaluations, and the infrastructure that makes them reliable in the real world. I scaled the AI coding assistant Cody from idea to multi-million ARR across 250+ enterprises, and I’ve built autonomous agents that diagnose and fix production failures.

At Railway, I designed and shipped an autonomous deployment diagnosis and error monitoring agent, architecting execution and evaluation infrastructure with Temporal workflows. Previously at Sourcegraph, I led Cody’s hybrid multi-repo context retrieval using BM25 and vector embeddings (with reciprocal rank fusion), adopted MCP for tool-based context/action, and helped drive PLG growth through monetization and abuse prevention. I’m energized by building systems that are measurable, scalable, and genuinely useful for developers.
