Assortment Hub
Selected to lead a new product improving how retail operations collaborate across supply chain, catalog, and external retailers.
I build systems that have to work — and explain themselves.
I am an engineer who likes consequential systems, explicit boundaries, and tools that make difficult work feel calmer. Lately that means agentic software, model governance, and a new product boundary for retail operations. Earlier it meant Elixir platforms, Kubernetes before it was fashionable, Ruby systems, and a formative amount of time on BBSes.

A composable agent framework and chat assistant inside SCHIP. Reusable tools, citation generation and verification, progress during long tasks, and human review before business automation.
