Staff software engineer building open source developer tools. Currently focused on scalable map-reduce AI-powered workflows and static analysis tooling in Rust. I spent the last 8 years building a tech startup in Silicon Valley from early stage to an acquired enterprise vendor with tens of millions in ARR. The startup requires global infrastructure with hundreds of servers often in sketchy network conditions in its fleet and thousands of mobile devices connected to them. I was responsible for tooling and infrastructure that enabled the company to scale and meet the demands of customers, many of which are Fortune 500 companies.

I build things that solve real problems. My work spans:

• Developer Tooling - Building tools that improve code quality and developer productivity
• Static Analysis - Fast, intelligent code complexity and technical debt detection
• AI Workflow Automation - Turning AI assistance into reproducible, parallel development pipelines
• Systems Programming - Rust-first approach to performance-critical applications
• CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code - IaC and smart CI/CD to scale startups

AI-powered workflow orchestration for development teams. Transforms ad-hoc Claude sessions into reproducible development pipelines with parallel execution, automatic retry, and full git state management. Built to make AI assistance systematic and reliable. Tech: Rust, Claude AI, YAML workflows, Git integration

Fast code complexity and technical debt analyzer. Answers "what should I refactor?" and "what should I test first?" using entropy-based analysis. 10-100x faster than competitors with 70% fewer false positives. Actionable recommendations, not just metrics. Tech: Rust, Rayon, Multi-language support (Rust, Python, JS, TS)

• 🔨 Building: Prodigy and Debtmap
• 📚 Learning: Rust, Static Code Analysis, and how to make AI development more reliable
• 💡 Interested in: The future of AI-assisted development tools

I'm open to interesting opportunities and collaborations, especially in:

• Early-stage startups building infrastructure or developer tools
• Open source projects with real-world impact
• Technical co-founder opportunities
