Software that acts.
Control you can trust.
The Approach
I make automated systems answerable to the people they affect.
A feed where the community votes on the ranking policy. A fleet of coding agents where every change traces back to a decision. If software acts on your behalf, you should be able to check its work.
01
Concept to production, then operations
Corgi went from early lab idea to a live Bluesky feed I operate. CARAWAI went from proof of concept to an end-to-end research platform.

02
Stage the risk
Staged integration work keeps a new POPROX content source isolated from existing subscriber flows until the downstream path is validated.

03
Volatility behind contracts
Ranking policy evolves through versioned epochs without touching the pipeline. Change is expected. The audit trail holds still.

Selected Work
The systems I build, operate, and answer for.
Lead engineer
Corgi
A live, open-source Bluesky recommender where anyone can inspect how posts are scored, and a small governance pilot votes on ranking weights. Every placement is reconstructable from stored signals and policy weights.
Lead engineer
CARAWAI
A local-first browser research system that captures analytic activity with consent and turns it into evidence-cited workflow models, while limiting what it collects.
Contributor
POPROX
An NSF-backed, five-university platform running live news-recommendation experiments with the Associated Press. I contribute upstream: multi-source ingestion foundations, recommendation contracts, and outbound data minimization.
Personal infrastructure
Agent control plane
Deterministic infrastructure that keeps agent-driven development coordinated: task ownership, dependencies, isolated workspaces, review, and recovery. Every change leaves an auditable record.
