Founder & CEO of Noveum AI · Creator of API.market · Author of Intelligence at Scale
I build AI infrastructure and products for developers. My work connects production machine learning, AI agent evaluation, and the APIs agents use to act.
- Noveum AI helps teams trace and evaluate production AI agents, investigate failures, and review evidence for improvements. The work spans observability, evaluation, synthetic testing, and engineering workflows.
- API.market is a marketplace for APIs and AI models. It helps developers discover services and helps providers publish and monetize them. Its MCP gateway connects compatible AI clients to marketplace tools.
I worked on the original AWS SageMaker launch team, including hyperparameter optimization, and contributed to the AWS SDK for PHP. I later worked on machine-learning-powered personalization at Amazon Prime Video. My experience also includes engineering leadership at Activeloop and Levity, and founding Hopdata and PipFeed.
I started publishing hacking tutorials on HackItEasy while I was in school, and later built Dailyjag, a media business. Building software and explaining what I learn have stayed connected throughout my career.
I hold a master’s degree in computer science from The Ohio State University and was a Forbes Technology Council member from 2021 to 2024. Career and project history →
