What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and evaluate production AI-agent systems where rigorous judgment matters: assessing reasoning, trustworthiness, tool use, and user-facing quality beyond whether code simply compiles.

At Playabl, a Y Combinator P26 startup, I owned early R&D, AI-output evaluation, and internal tooling for a text-to-playable-game platform that reached 1M plays across 3,000 user-generated games in its first five public-launch days.

I ran blind model evaluations across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Qwen, and Kimi, selecting production models based on measured quality. I built multi-agent pipelines, custom evaluation harnesses, feedback loops, and review tooling that helped diagnose broken, misleading, or plausible-but-incorrect outputs.

I integrated Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex into internal workflows, using LangSmith trace analysis to assess reasoning, tool use, and interaction quality. I also led three engineers, shaped review and release practices, and supported production AI infrastructure across AWS, Modal, RunPod, Docker, and multi-provider APIs.

Across large gaming YouTube channels, I built automation and modding pipelines for a distributed team, contributing to 150M+ views and 290K+ subscribers. I’ve spent years reverse-engineering unfamiliar code, recovering source maps, deobfuscating legacy systems, and rebuilding 20+ projects into maintainable TypeScript and React codebases.
