software engineer · agent tooling

Software engineer working mostly on agent tooling — runtimes, memory, orchestration. I like primitives over frameworks, dense documentation over slick marketing pages, and projects that survive contact with real use.

This site is a place to put the work where it can be read end to end, with the trade-offs and caveats intact.
