Putting AI to work

I’m Director of AI & Infrastructure at DealMaker, working across engineering, AI strategy, and adoption. I love how much of the organization I get to work with: understanding what people need, building useful tools, and helping them use those tools well.

I still build in Ruby and Python, with a focus on agents, retrieval, and the evaluations that tell us whether a system is doing its job. My software consulting background keeps me coming back to the problem, the people, and how the whole system fits together.

Building things of my own

I’m building Shinkiro to help people turn their ideas into working software, and FoodieLog as a home for dishes worth remembering, from restaurant discoveries to my own kitchen.

I’m also writing at Landon Notes about software, systems, and what I’m learning along the way.

Following a few questions

I’m exploring inference engineering and working on clearer communication. I’m interested in how technical choices, incentives, and everyday habits shape whether a useful idea actually works in practice.

Away from the keyboard

I’m cooking, playing Magic: The Gathering, and tinkering with a PSP. Making things and learning how they work spills into most parts of my life.
