About

Staff engineer with 11 years in distributed systems, now full-time on agentic developer tooling. I've shipped Claude Code setups across a 400-engineer org and maintain three popular open-source MCP servers. I focus on turning ad-hoc 'vibe coding' into repeatable, reviewable workflows.

What I can help with

  • Design a Claude Code harness for your repo: hooks, subagents, permissions, custom commands
  • Build and debug MCP servers that expose your internal tools to agents
  • Set up agentic CI: PR triage, automated reviews, flaky-test hunting
  • Audit an existing setup and find where the agent goes off the rails

Reviews

Jordan P.

Exactly what I needed. We went from a messy setup to a clean, repeatable workflow in one session.

Aisha K.

Incredibly knowledgeable and patient. Worth every minute — paid for itself the same week.

Daniel R.

Finally understand how to give the agent the right context. My output doubled, no exaggeration.
