About
I'm a Senior Software Engineer who specializes in Playwright, CI/CD, React Native, React, and integrating AI/ML capabilities into user-facing products.
Over the past year I've gone deep on LLMs. I finished the Overclock AI Engineering Fellowship and built an open-source TypeScript eval framework for LLM agents. It uses typed test suites, assertions on tool calls and turn/latency budgets, LLM-as-judge scoring, and regression diffs against a baseline. After years of testing web and mobile apps, testing agents is the next problem I want to focus on. Agents need the same release discipline as any other software.
I combine a strong TypeScript foundation with hands-on testing, CI/CD pipeline design, and a track record of reducing crash rates and scaling test coverage in fast-paced environments. I'm interested in infrastructure, forward deployed, GTM engineering roles, and anywhere the job is getting systems into production and keeping them working.
