I build the tool layer that agents call, and I've had one in production long enough to know where it breaks.
At Chronicle I built our hosted MCP server end to end — eight tools that Claude and ChatGPT authenticate into over WorkOS OAuth with JWT and async polling, running on ECS. Also our first public REST API and the developer docs, a workspace-scoped API key system for tenant isolation, and an npm node that had to pass n8n's strict-mode security review before listing. On the interface side, an AI-generation UX with streaming tool-call visualisation, cancel/abort mid-flight, and live document editing over CRDTs.
What I've learned is that agent failures are boring and specific rather than clever. I lost four days to what looked like an auth error and turned out to be a tool declared without an input schema, silently changing the signature the SDK used to call my handler. Four theories before I read the error string properly. I write the theory down before chasing it now.
I also shipped Recall (https://recallapp.online) solo in about two weeks — notes into flashcards over MCP, with FSRS scheduling. Design, backend, payments and launch were mine. #22 on Product Hunt. Before Chronicle I owned a Shopify-to-custom-platform migration end to end, including ingest pipelines from three sources into Postgres.
~4 years. Looking for a remote backend, full-stack, or agent-infrastructure role where I own things end to end rather than picking up tickets. Open to full-time or contract.

4+ years of xp. Started out doing systems and backend programming but I've spent the last few years doing product development for very modern app stacks.

About: I'm a product engineer with over 15 years of experience taking products from 0 to 1. I work across the full stack, from design systems and frontend to backend and infrastructure. I've shipped products across AI, FinTech, media, insurance, and health. Most recently I led a product redesign across an AI suite at Miðeind. Before that I was Technical Design Lead at JPMorgan Chase, working on property management and cashflow analysis tools. I also designed and built the redesign for RÚV, Iceland's national broadcaster and the 6th most popular website in the country. I've built and sold my own products too: Baseline (https://baseline.is), a digital asset management tool, used to manage over 19,000 brand guides created, and Norde (https://norde.is), an icon manager. I love working on complex products with good teams. I pick up new tech easily and care about clear communication and doing things properly.

About: Computer scientist and software architect with a PhD in distributed systems and a strong background in numerical simulation, mathematical modeling, probabilistic systems, optimization, robotics, and embedded software. My research and engineering work has included Monte Carlo and system-level simulation, modeling uncertainty in wireless ranging, experimental validation on embedded hardware, and decentralized trajectory coordination and optimization. I am interested in senior engineering roles and startups that face technical challenges and require product design expertise.

I'm more than happy to learn a new language or two. I've worked with AI since 2018 at a variety of startups, but I'm equally comfortable with non-AI work.

#127 Location: Seattle, WA
Remote: Yes, hybrid in Seattle works as well
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: I've been all over the place. Go, JS (and TS) and Python are probably my strongest languages, and I have recently been having a lot of fun with Elixir and Rust.
I have also done smaller amounts of work in Java, Kotlin, Ruby + Rails and Clojure.

System design is my native mode of thinking. I'm a great person to have around if you're building something where the rules and patterns aren't established and the problems need to be worked through from scratch, whether that's interaction design, architecture or algorithms. I also know React and web technologies pretty well.
I'd been coding for maybe 15yrs before LLMs and agents hit, but I've deeply re-worked how I approach it over the past couple of years. I'm still learning and adapting as the tech develops like everyone else, but working with LLMs and agents is second nature at this point. I've tested the limits, and I've been through the pitfalls.
I have a portfolio here: https://symbolflux.com --though unfortunately it doesn't have much of anything from my AI-related work yet. Here's a writeup discussing the design of an LLM/agent system I was developing earlier in the year though: https://symbolflux.com/working-group-foundations.html

Who I am: Fractional CTO with 25+ years of experience building and scaling products across multiple generations of the web. I’m often brought in to turn ideas into working systems quickly, or to stabilize and evolve existing platforms.
I’ve led teams, hired engineers, defined architecture, and stayed hands-on in the code. My work spans AI-driven platforms, streaming media systems, and full-stack web applications. I’m comfortable operating at both the executive strategy level and deep in implementation.
Known for being a “Swiss army knife” technologist who can bridge product, engineering, and execution without overengineering.
What I am looking for: Fractional CTO or Head/Director of Technology roles.
Best fit: startups or growing companies that need someone to own technical direction, ship quickly, and make practical decisions without unnecessary complexity.
Strong interest in AI-powered products, media/streaming, and content platforms, but open to any project where execution speed and clarity matter.
