I build dependable infrastructure and products for
engineers, AI agents, and students. At Bottomline,
self-service platforms for 9 product lines. At Agent
Horizon, I built SkillsCake and Reanthesis end to end.
About
At Bottomline, I am leading the company's move onto a
self-service Akamai WAF platform, and I help guide AI
engineering. The throughline of my work is taking something
only specialists can touch and turning it into something any
team can run safely.
On my own, I founded Agent Horizon and build its products
end to end, from the first line of code to the marketing.
SkillsCake does for AI agents what a good platform does for
engineers: it hands them the context they need to do real
work. Reanthesis is a turn toward people, a study app for
brutal exams, designed with the nurses and med students who
rely on it in production today.
Work
Staff Core Platform Engineer

Architect and deliver infrastructure for global B2B
payment systems while maintaining production Linux
systems. Lead cross-team automation and the company's AI

CDN/WAF standard, bringing all product lines (some
with 1,000+ hostnames) onto self-service GitLab CI
OpenTofu pipelines my team built.
Help guide AI use across hundreds of engineers:
shared skills on the skills.sh protocol, secure MCP
servers, prompt-injection defense.
Replaced 3,000+ manual firewall tickets a year with
validated, code-driven self-service automation.
Co-founded the GitOps Center of Excellence and
helped build the internal product that made pipeline
adoption easier.
Hosted office hours for 200+ users and mentored
junior engineers.
Founder
Agent Horizon · 2025–present
Agent Horizon builds products, and I built every part of
the business from the ground up, from full-stack
development to marketing and support. SkillsCake makes
AI agents faster and cheaper to run. Reanthesis turns
grueling exam prep into something people look forward
to.
Built
Reanthesis
re·anthesis: the repeated blooming of memory
through recall. My own word, my own product. Bring your
whole Anki library over clean, then study in something
that finally feels good: grade each card with the
addictive swipe of a dating app, and watch a little
plant grow with every card's progress. Study rounds of
25 or 2 minutes are paced by a lupine that blooms as the
timer fills. Nurses and med students study on it in
production today and shape what I build.
I wrote the parametric generator that grows this lupine
in Python, so one program is the whole brand.
SkillsCake
Context engineering is hard, expensive, and out of reach
for beginners. SkillsCake takes on that complexity and
hands back a personalized, safe, and strong agent skill
in minutes. You own your skill, and it runs across
Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT on fewer tokens. I
treat SkillsCake as a security product: it defends
against prompt injection, collects almost no data, and
has no vendor lock-in.
I build the integration layer that brings products into
agent environments. Reanthesis has a hosted MCP server
with OAuth, plus plugins submitted to ChatGPT and Claude
for review. SkillsCake has an open-source API-key client
for Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot. It strips secrets
and customer PII before calling the hosted service, then
writes the improved skill into the workspace.
An open-source agent OS for Claude Code. Reusable
skills, subagents, and safety hooks, plus role-based
sessions where a root operator spawns managers, a CEO,
or specialized engineers to coordinate on a goal, with a
human in the loop on the decisions that matter at
multiple levels.
Run my Claude harness and manage workstreams from
anywhere by voice. I built streaming speech with
barge-in and echo rejection, and a personal web app
with Face ID auth. Workstreams spawn as live cards.
Every model interaction is an interactive tmux Claude
Code session. It's fully open source, and I treat it as
reliable production infrastructure that I rely on every
day.
Off the keyboard, I run Unicorn Hill Farm, with horses,
daily chores, and heavy equipment. I'm an avid skier and an
OEC-certified patroller at Whaleback. I have the cutest 1
year old German Shorthaired Pointer, and I cook both
plant-based and animal-ingredient versions of recipes across
cuisines.
