Full-Stack Engineer · Agentic AI & LLM Systems · New Media & Games

I'm a full-stack engineer with 13+ years of experience shipping products at scale, including a decade as a Lead/Senior engineer working on web properties at CBS Interactive (now Paramount). These days I'm focused on:

• Building agentic frameworks for local LLMs on Apple Silicon
• Crafting text-driven games that feel like living stories
• Treating code as writing—to both humans and machines

• T.O.M. Framework – A minimal, hackable agent framework for running local “thinking” models (like Qwen3-4B-Thinking) on Apple Silicon with tools, memory, and a CLI front-end.

• Dunil’s Hold – A macOS iOS project I am currently heads down on. There will be more details VERY soon.

• Personal Site & Writing – Keeping a running log of what I’m building and thinking about.

• 🔧 T.O.M. (Terminal Orchestrated Model) Framework
  Local, agentic LLM framework focused on:

  • Apple MLX + Apple Silicon
  • Tool-calling and scratchpad-based memory
  • Long-running CLI workflows
    → TOM-framework

• 🌐 Personal Website
  A small, fast site built with Vite and GitHub Pages, serving as my long-form “About” and project hub.

• 🕹️ Roguelike Dungeon Crawler
  A browser-based roguelike with procedural generation and turn-based combat—the ancestor to my current Dunil’s Hold work.

• ⚙️ Dotfiles
  Editor and shell setup I actually use day-to-day.

Languages & Frontend

• JavaScript / TypeScript · React / Next · Vue / Nuxt · Astro
• HTML & CSS · Sass · BEM · Tailwind / other modern CSS systems

Backend & APIs

• Python – FastAPI, Django, Flask
• Node / Express
• REST, JSON APIs, and internal tooling

AI, Agents & Systems

• Apple Silicon + MLX for local inference
• Qwen 3 “Thinking” models, Granite micro models, and other small LLMs
• Agentic frameworks, tool-calling, scratchpad memory, CLI/TUI interfaces

Apps & Games

• Swift / SwiftUI for macOS & iOS
• Xcode workflows, AppKit/UIKit interop where needed
• Text-driven game systems, procedural generation, roguelike mechanics

• Text-first experiences – whether it’s a CLI, a roguelike, or documentation, I gravitate toward rich text and fast feedback loops.
• Agents as tools, not toys – I care about LLMs that call real tools, maintain context, and help with serious work.
• Readable, maintainable code – code is writing; I optimize for the next person (often future me) who has to read it.
