hire me! #
AI-native product & engineering leadership.
Data & AI systems, developer tools, agentic workflows, and teams that need product taste close to the code.
the lane #
The useful part is the combination: product taste, systems thinking, technical breadth & depth, efficient operations, and passionate leadership.
early career #
- 2019 Dask on Azure ML Led OSS contribution enabling distributed data processing and ML training.
- Mar 2020 Azure ML v2 Led data experiences across the platform rewrite: CLI, web API, Python SDK, and more.
- 2021 DX repair loop Overhauled docs/examples and turned enterprise feedback into product fixes.
- 2022 MLOps features Owned Spark integration and shipped event-driven automations, Git integration, batch inferencing support, and more.
Micro ECG
Reverse-engineered the proprietary storage format to recover the signal.
Hospital alarm mesh
IRB-approved study at Shands: Raspberry Pis with microphones detecting non-critical alarms and routing alerts to the nurse station.
Azure ML data drift
Observed production data moving away from training data and turned that into an actionable cloud ML monitoring surface.
feature distribution moved past threshold
GitHub Copilot beta
Early AI-coding adopter: testing the workflow when it still felt experimental, not inevitable.
def route_signal(graph, source):
frontier = [source]
while frontier:
node = frontier.pop()
yield from model.suggest_next(node)
Full-stack SoC tooling
Two browser frontends over simulation backends, plus low-cost instrumentation when direct printf made slow SoC simulations even slower.
Avoided per-cycle printf overhead in simulations already orders of magnitude slower than software.
middle career #
- Jul 2022 dbt Python models Launched at Coalesce, opening dbt's first data science and ML surface.
- 2022 cloud platform pivot Led a platform team through a major roadmap turn with cross-company alignment.
- May 2023 Ibis Birdbrain Shipped early tool-using agent demos for text-to-SQL and visualization.
- 2024 Ibis developer growth Grew adoption 2-10x YoY through docs, examples, blog/community strategy, and OSS feedback loops.
recent career #
- Sep 2024 Zenith Analysis Built production financial analytics software still powering a six-figure ARR business.
- Jan 2025 Agentic Data Engineering Launched preview to GA; grew from 0 to thousands of users.
- 2025 Data & AI Bootcamp Co-created events, labs, and synthetic demo pipelines across modern data warehouses.
- Nov 2025 Product Lead + Agentic Software Engineering Company strategy, agent harness roadmap, and Agentic Software Engineering workflows.
- 2026 Now AI-native product and engineering leadership across data systems, developer tools, and agentic workflows.
