Founder, Ember Agentic Labs

San Francisco Bay Area

I’m an engineer with a background in computer engineering, finance, and data science. I’ve spent two decades building systems — from chip design at Intel, to platforms and data architecture at Google, to a Master’s in Data Science at UC Berkeley.

What I’m doing now

At Ember Agentic Labs, I’m exploring what happens when you treat AI as a genuine creative partner rather than a tool. The first product is Crucible — an open source development environment that coordinates specialized AI agents through a structured software lifecycle.

What excites me most is the potential for self-improving software — systems that get better the more you use them — and the way human-AI partnership can unlock creativity that neither side achieves alone. It’s still early in the AI technology lifecycle, and the possibilities ahead are enormous.

More about our mission and focus areas, and Crucible specifically.
