Leadership

+

Leading teams at GoDaddy

+

+ Principal Engineer focused on AI transformation for Care and Commerce — building systems merchants and guides rely on every day. +

+ +
+
+

Commerce & Care AI

+

+ Architected CASA, an LLM-powered commerce assistant spanning POS, mobile, checkout, and catalog — designed for tens of millions of merchants, with multi-agent QA for continuous coverage. +

+
+
+

Scaled the India hub

+

+ Grew GoDaddy’s India engineering organization from a small core to 120+ engineers — hiring, org design, and delivery cadence that keeps platform work shipping. +

+
+
+

Production AI, not demos

+

+ Leads Care Engineering’s CRM and tooling transformation for guides and customers — agent architecture, MCP, evaluation, and the operational discipline that survives production. +

+
+
+
+
+ +
+
+

Repositories

+

Things I’ve built

+

+ Open tools for agent readiness, verifiable AI decisions, MCP authoring, and observability — the same themes as the writing. +

+ +
+ +
+

sober-ai

+

Lighthouse reimagined for the AI-first world — audit AI agent readiness the way you audit web performance.

+
+ JavaScript + + +
+

receipta

+

Tamper-evident receipts for every AI decision — Ed25519-signed, hash-chained, offline-verifiable.

+
+ TypeScript + + +
+

mcp-author-kit

+

Scaffold, grade, test, and debug MCP servers from inside Cursor — because broken tools are usually broken descriptions.

+
+ JavaScript + + +
+

lexvault

+

Reversible proprietary-term pseudonymization for LiteLLM — mask codenames outbound, restore them faithfully inbound.

+
+ Python + + +
+

OTel-query-mcp

+

MCP server for querying observability backends — OpenTelemetry Collector, Grafana, Elastic Cloud, OpenSearch.

+
+ Python + + +
+

repro-agents

+

Agents that rerun your science and show their receipts — reproducibility auditors for scientific Python projects.

+
+ Python + +

Latest writing

+

+ Field notes for engineering leaders — what survives production over what demos well. +

+ +
+ + +

Everyone is building mainframes again

+

AMD just shipped a $5 million rack. Nvidia sells factories. The AI industry has re-entered its System/360 era.

+ + + +

Your Agent Has No SLO. Here’s How to Give It One.

+

Traditional monitoring assumes deterministic code. Agents aren’t. A field guide to observing and budgeting LLM agents.

+ + + +

Your Coding Agent Doesn’t Need a Memory Layer (Yet)

+

Agent memory is 2026’s vector database: real pain, serious funding — and a markdown file already doing most of the job.

+ + + +

The DNS for AI Agents, One Year Later: What ANS v2 Gets Right

+

How the Agent Name Service went back to the drawing board — and why its second act matters to your architecture.

+ + + +

Reproducibility Isn’t a Specification Problem. It’s a Verification Problem.

+

Scientific Python solved environment specification. Verification still runs on volunteers — three agent patterns for the rest.

+ + + +

Your MCP tool isn’t broken. Your description is.

+

The silent-failure problem nobody owns — and the Cursor plugin built to stop guessing.
