What I look like

My projects

I love building things. Below are a few projects that I've worked on, both on my own and with the help of others.

OpenHands

I'm the CEO of OpenHands, an open source platform for coding agents. We have a team of around 30 people and have raised over $20M.

Fairwinds Insights is a platform for consolidating and operationalizing Kubernetes auditing tools. I worked with our CTO and VP of Strategy to conceptualize Insights, and built a team of engineers to implement it.

Long Answers

While working at Google, I wrote an algorithm to extract answers to open-ended questions, like "Why is the sky blue?" The algorithm was incorporated into Google Search in August 2013, and resulted in Patent US9940367B1.
