Xan Torres
@xantorres
I build AI agent tooling and full-stack TypeScript products across React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.
What I'm looking for
I build AI coding tooling including RepoKernel, an agent harness with isolated git worktrees and review gates, and engram, a local-first MCP memory server used across my agent workflows. I also run rigops, an open-source layer for grading and validating coding-agent setups.
I've delivered end-to-end product work for Sunflower Games, MongoDB, FeatherShark, Platform9, and Hotusa—from real-time games and multi-tenant govtech SaaS to design systems and marketing-platform migrations. Across 15+ years, I’ve owned frontend architecture, APIs, data models, developer tooling, and small-team technical leadership.
