Full Stack Engineer, SurfSense
Full-stack engineer, building AI agents and the systems around them.
I work in Python and TypeScript and ship production features end to end, from backend to web and desktop apps, along with the CI/CD and infrastructure behind them. Lately I’ve been building a git-based knowledge base that agents search and cite, multi-agent workflows with human approvals, MCP tool integrations, plugin systems, and fully offline models.
I coached developers for two years and still write guides. Currently going deeper into DevOps.
Open-source work
- SurfSense
An open-source alternative to NotebookLM, Perplexity and Glean. I work on the multi-agent chat, connectors to tools like Jira and Google Drive, the MCP server, and a local version that runs offline.
- Ever Teams & Ever Gauzy
Open-source work and business management platforms. I built UI, managed state and data flow, improved performance, and maintained the Gauzy API.
- Wikimedia — Autosuggest sitelink
Let Wikimedia contributors link a Wikidata item to an article right after creating it.
- Mozilla — Balrog
Firefox's update server. I made every OS version of a rule visible, streamlined update sign-offs, and fixed a layout bug in product restrictions.
