role: Cloud Software Engineer @ John Deere
current_focus: Harness engineering for the AI-era SDLC
working_on:
- Agentic workflows & agent context engineering
- Telemetry-backed metrics for AI engineering productivity
- Evals-driven harness + model selection at enterprise scale
passions:
- AI Agents & Agentic Workflows
- Developer Experience & Platform Engineering
- Confident Continuous Delivery
background: 5x AWS Certified — cloud infrastructure & networking
mission: Help engineering teams ship safer, smarter, and faster — with agents as first-class teammates- 🤖 Exploring AI-native software delivery — agentic workflows, agent context engineering, and telemetry-backed metrics for AI productivity
- 🧰 Focused on harness engineering — the thesis that the models are good enough; the harness (instructions, hooks, context, evals) is what's lagging
- 🚀 Pushing confident continuous delivery — codifying engineering policy as instructions + deterministic hooks so agent-written code ships safely from PR to production
- ☁️ 5x AWS Certified — a cloud infrastructure & networking background underneath the AI-native work
- 🧠 Investigating AI-native delivery patterns and measuring real-world AI engineering productivity (DXI + telemetry-backed signals)
- 🧰 Defining the harness — normalizing instructions, context, and hooks across coding agents (Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) so every tool starts from equal footing
- 📊 Running evals to choose the right harness + model objectively — large-scale, policy-aware experiments (Promptfoo) instead of "this one just feels better"
- 🔁 Agent session handoffs — a cross-session memory lifecycle engine + GitHub-Issues epic layer for zero-memory-loss context recovery
- 🧱 Building a compounding knowledge base — an AI-maintained "LLM wiki" with on-device semantic search (QMD) and knowledge-graph analysis (Graphify)
