I'm a Member of Technical Staff at Mercor, working on the context, memory, and governance systems behind its agent platform. Before that, I co-founded Brydge, an enterprise agent orchestration and context platform for engineering teams.
Along the way I've secured agents at NVIDIA, scaled them at Google and Trainy, and researched them at Berkeley AI Research.
I come from Berkeley's M.E.T. program, a dual degree in EECS and business.
