ABOUT
i'm an AI/ML Engineer at ema.ai, where i research and build the AutoBuilder/AutoPilot, our agent harness. my focus is on agent orchestration, autolearns, and evals.
i recently completed my Master of Science in Applied Computing at the University of Toronto, focusing on computer systems and large language models. previously i worked as a backend software developer at Kijiji, and as both a research and teaching assistant at U of T.
outside of work i sing, play piano, play guitar, and lose to my friends at video games. i also love making and eating food. my recipes are where the home-cooked ones live.




NOTES
notes, field observations, and half-formed ideas, published as they're ready.
2026 may ai agent paper dump
a month of new agent papers, sorted by topic, with the high-level idea and the authors' own line of evidence. skim what catches your eye.
subagent designs
how coding agents delegate to other agents, and the three paradigms emerging right now: preset profiles, runtime construction, and dependency graphs.
why i use emdash
running multiple coding agents in parallel without losing your mind in terminal tabs. local-first, open-source, provider-agnostic — and surprisingly, the product is just organization.
