At 11C, I design and build AI systems, models, infrastructure, and engineering tooling, exploring how increasingly capable models and autonomous systems can be made more reliable, adaptive, and useful in real-world environments.

My work spans model development and evaluation, multi-agent architectures, bounded-autonomy runtimes, and custom harnesses for autonomous software engineering. I'm particularly interested in how systems maintain context, learn from outcomes, coordinate across models and frameworks, and reliably carry out complex work. That includes persistent architectural context, scoped delegation, verifiable execution, recovery from partial failures, and the tooling and safeguards that improve performance over time.

11C builds on years of experience designing and bringing products to market, leading engineering teams, working with enterprise customers, and helping businesses adopt and grow through new technology. At a16z-backed KIKI World, I designed and built Canopy, a multi-tenant agent operating system, end to end, and implemented the agentic capabilities of Podium, a developer platform for agentic commerce. That work involved much more than architecture and implementation, from shaping product strategy and working closely with customers to driving adoption and developing new commercial opportunities.

I enjoy being close to the technology and the people putting it to work. Whether I'm designing systems, leading engineering and product teams, or working with customers to bring new capabilities into use, I'm most energized by turning ambitious technical ideas into products people value and businesses can grow around.
