• Developed language datasets, translation experiments, evaluation tools, and an Android keyboard.

• Designed consent-first, community-governed workflows where real speaker recordings take precedence over synthetic speech.

Bachelors

A dependently typed programming language and compiler for AI learning systems. Compiles model mathematics, training loops, host code, and GPU instructions into self-contained executables without conventional machine-learning runtimes.

• Trained a 1.38B-parameter language model over 5.84B tokens on two H100 GPUs, averaging 247,865 tokens/sec with an Alpha-generated executable.

• Developing dependent types, formal verification, and compiler infrastructure for agent-driven discovery of new algorithms and learning systems.

Founded the open standard for representing resumes as JSON. Now an ecosystem of schemas, themes, developer tools, AI job matching, and agent integrations.

• 7,000+ GitHub stars across the ecosystem and tens of thousands of users.

• 52 first-party themes, a public registry, in-browser editor, CLI, and MCP integrations.

• AI job matching with embeddings, hybrid retrieval, and LLM reranking; improved precision at five from 0.2 to 0.8 in evaluation.

• Maintains the schema, CLI, core libraries, jobs package, and Rust serialization tooling.

Co-founded one of the web's largest open-source JavaScript and CSS content delivery networks, now operated with Cloudflare.

• Used by millions of websites and serves billions of requests monthly.

• 10,000+ GitHub stars.

• Helped establish a community-maintained infrastructure project that became a widely used part of the web.

An evidence-first knowledge system for AI agents, built in Rust and PostgreSQL. Stores contradictory claims with provenance, bitemporal history, query-time reconciliation, and formal verification.

• 42M+ statements and millions of evidence links, with large-scale LLM extraction and agentic-memory tooling.

• Custom query language, predicate alignment, temporal reasoning, and provenance-aware access control.

• 62 Lean 4 theorems proving core invariants, plus signed and reproducible knowledge releases.

An experimental computing platform where language models generate literal executable machine bytes rather than source code, which are validated and executed on a custom virtual computer.

• Designed the ANMA-1 virtual instruction set, validator, interpreter, and WebAssembly execution path.

• Built an interactive browser-based virtual computer with memory, registers, devices, and visual execution tracing.

• Developed checker-assisted agent loops, independent correctness tests, and formal verification experiments.

Developing a general-purpose agent execution harness for persistent sessions across web, CLI, and local development environments.

• Designing durable agent orchestration, resumable sessions, and execution across local devices and remote workers.

• Exploring multi-computer execution, session branching, and long-running autonomous development workflows.

An experimental mathematical reasoning platform connecting ideas, Lean 4 formal proofs, theorem libraries, and AI agents.

• Exploring machine-checked mathematical reasoning and proof-assisted AI research.
