I'm Adam. I build software, and I love teaching it.

I'm a software engineer in Seattle, working mostly in Python and TypeScript. I've built data pipelines for professional soccer, co-founded a construction safety software company, and turned my textile-designer sister's requirements into an app for creating repeating patterns.

At Code Fellows, I taught hundreds of students in Python and full-stack development, with an 87.2 average Net Promoter Score across seven classes. I also built tools for our instructors. One converted more than 100 slide decks and saved an estimated 800 employee hours, according to my manager. I still hear from former students about the coding work they're doing now.

My recent engineering work uses AI coding tools extensively. On Trader-trader, I direct the architecture and product requirements and work through testing and debugging with Codex and Claude Code. Building it led me to design a SQLite mailbox so the agents could coordinate their work. Getting a system to behave reliably has involved plenty of iteration and rethinking earlier decisions.

I've also evaluated AI coding systems professionally for Alignerr and Outlier. Independently, I build benchmark harnesses and publish studies of coding-agent workflows. My latest study compared eight configurations across 400 scored implementations. I want to understand where these tools help, what they cost to run, and how to judge the work they produce.

I also serve in the Army National Guard, which I joined in March 2026 on the officer candidate track.
