I am a senior engineer at Posit building enterprise AI dev tooling. I do work across our product suite: Posit Assistant, Positron, Package Manager, Connect, and Workbench. Lately I have been implementing features related to agent plugins and local models.

I love making things. This is where I keep my projects and write about software, work, and ideas I find interesting.
