Founder
Meard AIJul 2025 – Present
Started an independent AI lab focused on nonprofit research and open-source machine learning. Quiet by design — the work shows up in code, not press releases.
- Set up Meard as a nonprofit-leaning lab for open models and research tooling.
- Built and ship infrastructure experiments (including agent routing work) when they are ready to leave the lab.

- Keep the surface small: OSS first, no marketing theater.

Aug 2025 – Present
Contributing to real codebases across scientific Python, cloud tooling, agent systems, and infrastructure graphs — fixing crashes, graph bugs, and silent failures where they actually hurt users.
- MDAnalysis: Made the MOL2 reader pull unit-cell size from CRYSIN records, and added benchmarks so HydrogenBondAnalysis and the PDB reader stay honest under load.
- AWS CLI: Stopped a NameError that crashed shorthand-parse error messages (shipped in v1.45.34), and fixed configure get so section values print instead of erroring.
More
- Claude Code (Anthropic): Tracked down a triage script that exited under set -euo pipefail with no message, and made the pipeline report what went wrong.
- Cartography (CNCF): Fixed Route53 sync so DNS→IP links actually show up in the graph, and moved the OpenSearch intel path off a deprecated boto3 client.
- Google Migration Planner: Found a TypeError that was swallowing real Microsoft Graph errors in batch logging, so failures show the API message again.
- SakanaAI & sktime: Corrected a reward average in an RL loop, and landed three skbase maintenance fixes (pre-commit pin, noisy tests, sparse-matrix compares).
