Sr. ML/Mechatronics Engineer — Databricks expert, big data for AI, and scalable production systems.
Building systems that span software, body, and craft. From agent runtimes to breath-hold training, the discipline is the same: define primitives, map failure modes, build recovery paths, iterate toward antifragility.
Agent OS Stack — Life
Life is an open-source Rust runtime for autonomous agents. 10 subsystems, 62 crates, 1,077 tests. A contract-first Agent OS that treats agents as living systems:
| Layer | Project | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime | Arcan | Agent runtime — event loop, LLM providers, TUI |
| Persistence | Lago | Event-sourced journal, blob store, knowledge graph |
| Evaluation | Nous | Metacognitive quality scoring, LLM-as-judge, EGRI |
| Stability | Autonomic | Homeostasis controller — operational, cognitive, economic |
| Finance | Haima | x402 machine-to-machine payments, wallets, billing |
| Identity | Anima | Ed25519/secp256k1 keypairs, DID, belief evolution |
| Contract | aiOS | Kernel contract — types, ports, event taxonomy |
| Tooling | Praxis | Sandboxed tool execution, MCP bridge |
| Networking | Spaces | Distributed agent messaging on SpacetimeDB |
| Observability | Vigil | OpenTelemetry tracing, GenAI semantic conventions |
| Orchestration | Symphony | Dispatch and lifecycle for coding agents |
| Improvement | Autoany | Evaluator-Governed Recursive Improvement (EGRI) |
| Governance | Control Kernel | Safety shields, setpoints, multi-rate control loops |
Core law: Agent freedom ≤ evaluator reliability.

1. Define the primitive layer — find irreducible components
2. Map failure modes — know where it breaks
3. Build recovery paths — design for when it breaks
4. Iterate toward antifragility — get stronger from stress
5. Make it repeatable — future-self and others can run it
6. Optimize for compounding — will this matter in 10 years?
- "Autonomous Repos Are Control Systems" — The repository is the control surface for autonomous development
- "Harness Over Prompting" — Prompt quality matters, but harness quality keeps agent outputs reliable at scale
- "Autonomy Is Governance" — The autonomy you can grant an agent is proportional to governance quality
