Featured projects

MCP stack, libraries, gateways, and product PWAs — use the icons for GitHub, npm, or the live site when each exists.

Project

ClawQL

Open-source MCP server: multi-protocol API supergraph (OpenAPI/Swagger/Discovery, optional GraphQL/gRPC), vault memory and bulk ingest, audit/cache, and optional sandbox, scheduling, Slack, HITL, and enterprise search — https://docs.clawql.com.

Project

CoachellaPlus

Full-stack festival-planning PWA with hybrid retrieval (SQLite + embeddings + reranking), OpenRouter LLM integration, Tavily fallback, and group coordination — Lighthouse 90+ and deployed via ClawQL to Cloudflare and GitHub APIs.

Project

mcp-grpc-transport

TypeScript gRPC transport for MCP: protobuf payloads, unary and bidirectional streaming, grpc.health.v1 probes, mTLS, and Kubernetes-friendly deployment — extends the official MCP SDK beyond stdio and Streamable HTTP.

Project

clawql-ouroboros

Pluggable evolutionary-loop library: typed Executor / Evaluator / Wonder / Reflect phases, ontology convergence gates, Postgres-backed lineage, MCP-shaped hooks, and an optional background seed poller.

Project

panguard-mcp-bridge

Streamable HTTP MCP gateway (optional gRPC) for /mcp at the edge: Panguard on stdio, upstream clawql-mcp-http, optional JWT (JWKS / Bearer on HTTP and gRPC), Helm mcpProxy integration.

Open to opportunities

I’m particularly interested in roles blending AI agents, LLM tooling, or MCP with production platform engineering (Kubernetes, observability, reliability). Reach out if that sounds like your team.

AI & agents

  • Agents & APIs

    Shipped ClawQL, an open-source MCP server: agents search and execute over OpenAPI/Swagger/Google Discovery (optional GraphQL/gRPC upstreams) with lean responses; bundled multi-provider graphs; vault memory (memory_ingest / memory_recall), audit, and cache; plus optional sandbox, schedules, Slack notify, Label Studio HITL, Onyx search, and more — stdio, HTTP, and gRPC. See https://docs.clawql.com.

  • On-device ML & GenAI

    Forked and extended the Android “gallery” sample to explore local inference and GenAI UX — practical experimentation beyond pure backend work.

  • Platform at scale

    Most recently at Phantom I architected multi-region Kubernetes, Istio, and CockroachDB failover systems; chaos engineering and K6 load testing; developer-experience scores up 125%+ and 133% on key CoreDX measures; and a 65% infra cost reduction after a Lambda-to-K8s migration.
