What I'm doing now
A snapshot rather than an archive. If it is more than a couple of months stale, assume it has moved on.
Work
Day to day
Building
Running Vantix Strategies, a firm of forward deployed engineers who embed with client teams and ship production AI systems (RAG pipelines, agents, and data platforms) in under six weeks.
At UnitedHealthcare, building the enterprise AI observability platform and a natural-language benefits API, both leaning on MCP servers for agentic capability.
Activities
In season
Outside
In season right now: running, hiking & camping, pickleball and lifting.
Building toward the Superior 100. 102.9 miles along the Superior Hiking Trail with about 18,400 feet of climbing, none of it in one piece. The course trades a thousand feet up and down for the better part of two days.
Next start line: Superior Fall Trail Race, 100 Miler, September 11, 2026
