I work on systems and infrastructure that enable autonomous and robotic teams to train, validate, and operate real-world systems.

Over the last 7–8 years, this has included working with both real and synthetic sensor data used by ADAS, autonomous driving, drone, and delivery robot teams.

For the past 1.5 years, I've been co-founding make87, focused on the infrastructure layer that connects development workflows to real-world deployment.

Now

Currently working on -- make87 (co-founder). Agent TD — a game-based simulator used as a sandbox for experimentation.
Interested in -- Rewriting and simplifying systems in Rust, distributed video processing, and questions around digital sovereignty and system ownership.
Not interested in -- JavaScript-heavy stacks or social-media–driven products.

Open Source

m87 -- Device runtime infrastructure. CLI, runtime, and server for secure outbound-only connections to physical devices, enabling remote development, debugging, and deployment across distributed hardware fleets.
Rerun [PR] -- Multimodal data visualization. Fixed a bug where idle gRPC servers consumed 100% CPU by replacing tight polling loops with blocking receive operations.
Dokku [PR] -- Docker-powered PaaS. Fixed the storage:mount command's regex validation to accept Docker named volumes in addition to absolute host paths.
PandaSet DevKit -- Autonomous driving toolkit. Python devkit for loading and working with PandaSet's LiDAR point clouds, camera images, and annotations.
PandaSet -- Open autonomous driving dataset. Co-authored the first public dataset featuring both mechanical spinning and forward-facing LiDAR, released with a full commercial use license.
archie-zola [PR] -- Zola theme (powers this site). Fixed a Lighthouse audit failure caused by the intro animation starting at zero opacity, preventing First Contentful Paint detection.
simple-salesforce [PR] -- Python Salesforce API client. Added support for non-JSON REST endpoints, enabling binary file downloads and automatic URL path normalization for Salesforce REST paths.
