AI-native software engineer.

I build MCP servers and agent workflows that plug AI into the tools teams already live in — Jira, repos, logs, deploys. Every week I find something new it can do, and something it still needs a human for. Usually me. Six years in, I'm as excited about building software as I was on day one (if not more), which I honestly didn't think was possible.

Current status: teaching robots to read Jira tickets. They're getting suspiciously good at it.

What I do

MCP servers & integrations

Custom tools that let AI agents read the ticket, check the logs, and know what's deployed where — instead of guessing.

Agentic dev workflows

Skills, steering files, knowledge bases, and AI review loops that make a whole team faster, not just one person with a chatbot.

Full-stack underneath

Six years of React/TypeScript, Java (Spring, Quarkus), GraphQL, and Python — so the AI stuff ships into real production systems.
