Learning out loud while building, teaching, and becoming.
I write about AI systems, developer tools, community, career, and the quieter lessons around the work.
- Technical notes on agents, retrieval, local AI, and the systems I’m trying to understand.
- Field notes from DevRel, speaking, teaching, and working with developer communities.
- Life in progress on career, becoming, place, family, and the bits I’m still figuring out.
Learning Out Loud
New notes when I publish. No cadence, just what I’m learning and still figuring out.

The lethal trifecta in AI agents
When agents can read private data, process untrusted content, and communicate outward, prompt injection becomes a much more serious security problem.
