I'm a Machine Learning Engineer at Mozilla.ai. I created Agent of Empires, Clawbolt and any-llm, co-created any-agent, and was an original creator of any-llm-gateway, now otari.
Projects
Agent of Empires
Run your AI coding agents in parallel, each in its own session, and manage them from a keyboard-driven TUI or web dashboard, at your desk or on your phone.
Clawbolt
The AI assistant that actually does things for the trades.
otari
An open-source, OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway you run yourself: one endpoint for 40+ providers.
any-llm
Communicate with any LLM provider through a single interface.
any-agent
A single interface to use and evaluate different agent frameworks.
When work is a chat box, the desk becomes optional
How my engineering habits shifted to the phone, and the Agent of Empires release that takes the web dashboard out of beta.
