Selected engineering work

Project My contribution
OpenMuse Solo-built the initial release in one day; shipped persistent browser interaction, human takeover, and generative interfaces across mobile and web. Code · Case study
Open Intelligent UI Built streaming visualizations, a standalone Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, sandboxed UI execution, and adoption telemetry. Formerly OpenGenerativeUI. Case study
A2UI Composer Built demos showcased at Google Cloud Next 2026. Later upstream work included the Gemini/CopilotKit assistant and a 46-demo wall across Angular, Lit, and React.
Oracle Agent Memory Built the CopilotKit integration/showcase and cookbook: Oracle Agent Spec, LangGraph, durable cross-session recall, and human-approved booking flows. Code · Cookbook
OpenDots Solo-built and released the initial version: an agent workspace with persistent documents, revision-conflict checks, and server-enforced access. Initial implementation.
OpenBot Engineered action approvals and execution recovery, including mid-execution corrections and recovery from stalled streams.
OpenTag Built a reusable Slack/Teams agent starter with a LangGraph research backend and readable approvals for external writes. Code · Case study

Product judgment, backed by operating results

My product and design background shapes how I build: identify the user problem, design the interaction, choose the architecture, and measure the outcome.

Founder work

At Chalk Agents, I build agent infrastructure, including Folderbase, an open-source Rust database core for durable file identity, version history, and policy, with a CLI and TypeScript SDK. I also developed a prelaunch agent-runtime MVP with PostgreSQL, tenant isolation, retries, and restart persistence.

Tools and engineering focus

Languages and product: TypeScript, Python, Rust, React, Next.js, FastAPI, React Native / Expo.

Agents and interfaces: CopilotKit, AG-UI, A2UI, MCP, LangGraph, Google ADK; tool calling, multi-agent orchestration, generative UI, browser automation, memory, and human approvals.

Systems: PostgreSQL, Supabase, Docker, GCP, CI/CD, access control, observability, and execution recovery.

Recognition and community

  • LinkedIn Top Voice for Product Management (2023) and Stellar PH Top 100 Brightest Minds Under 30 (2024).
