At spAItial, my work turns frontier world models into shipped products: app.spaitial.ai, the developer API, model-serving infrastructure, eval tooling, demos, and agent-ready integrations for LLM skills, MCPs, and Claude plugins. Before frontier AI, I spent six years shipping user-facing products (B2B and B2C) and co-created Danfo.js (5k+ GitHub stars, featured by the TensorFlow team) and other open-source tools used by thousands of developers.
