I'm an independent software engineer building tools to automate software engineering.

I've spent the past year working with agents to build ambitious projects with mixed outcomes. I wanted to achieve 10x productivity while shipping stable high quality codebases. I've failed to achieve this goal so far.

My current focus is on finding the contours of human-AI collaboration and searching for tools and mental models needed to transition to automation.

My projects focus on building these tools, and in my writing I seek clarity about the agent driven world.
