ABOUT_ANKI.md

Principal Engineer specializing in AI-native orchestration systems, developer platforms, and runtime workflows.

I have 20+ years of experience building scalable execution platforms and developer tooling across enterprise and embedded environments, with recent focus on AI-driven workflows that combine deterministic execution with adaptive LLM capabilities.

Current Focus

AI orchestration — agentic workflows and deterministic execution paths
Developer platforms — interactive authoring tools
Browser-native and local-first AI systems
Retrieval workflows — embeddings and function calling
TypeScript platform architecture
Low-latency interactive systems

What I Build

I like building systems that turn complex runtime behavior into usable tools: visual workflow editors, AI-assisted authoring, local-first guardrails, retrieval-based interactions, and products where humans can iteratively collaborate with AI rather than rely on one-shot generation.

Professional Throughline

From embedded JVM runtimes at Sun Microsystems, to mobile and web application frameworks at Oracle, to recent independent AI systems and developer tools — my work has consistently focused on execution platforms, developer productivity, and interactive systems that make complex technology usable.
