I founded Capital One's internal agent orchestration platform and wrote the first commit myself. It is now a funded product with 50+ contributors, a team of 8 engineers, and a 60% cut in time-to-market.

What isyour agentallowedto do
That is my job. I build agent systems, the evaluations that keep them honest, and the governance layer that decides. This site runs on the same idea. Check your warrant.

"You upgraded your model. What broke?" Rift is my open-source CLI that answers with paired significance tests and cost per correct answer on every verdict. It caught one silent release raising cost per correct 35%. Ships on PyPI.

Between New York and California
The numbers above are the work. Here is the part that does not fit a spec sheet.
I build things nobody asked for, and I finish them. Before agents I did product for connected appliances at Whirlpool and enterprise platforms at the University of Rochester. I reverse-engineered my own voice recorder because I did not like where the audio went. I finished a master's at Georgetown this May, 3.93, while shipping everything on this site.
The question I care about is what an agent should be allowed to do on your behalf. If you are building at that layer, I want to meet you. I split my time between New York and California, and I will go where the work is.

Building at the agent trust layer
Agents are about to act on our behalf everywhere that matters. Someone has to decide what they are allowed to do, and prove it. Location is negotiable. The problem is not.
