Work & research

Focus areas

• AI agents

  Systems that plan, call tools, and act over multiple steps to accomplish a goal. The throughline of my current work at Sourcegraph and across SciX.

• Knowledge graphs

  Entity extraction, linking, and graph-structured representations of knowledge. The method behind this site's own projects explorer.

• Retrieval

  Finding the right information at the right time. Embeddings, ranking, hybrid search, and retrieval-augmented systems over scientific and code corpora.

• Agent memory

  How agents store, retrieve, and forget context across turns and sessions. Memory architectures, retrieval over history, and design tradeoffs.

• Code intelligence

  Understanding codebases at scale: search, navigation, and agents that reason over source. The domain of my work at Sourcegraph.

• Evaluation & benchmarks

  Measuring whether AI systems work. Benchmarks, evals, and honest comparison of search engines and agents.

• Scientific search

  Discovery over the scholarly literature. NASA ADS / SciX, citation graphs, and bringing agentic and semantic methods to research workflows.

• Gas City

  An orchestration-builder SDK for multi-agent coding workflows. I'm a maintainer.

• EnterpriseBench

  A benchmark for evaluating how well coding agents understand and navigate code across large, distributed enterprise codebases.

• Literature Explorers

  Curated, navigable surveys of recent research, organized into thematic maps rather than linear reading lists. Built on SciX MCP and code-intel sources.

• Livedocs

  Keep docs in sync with code. Livedocs extracts structural claims from source into per-repo SQLite databases that AI agents query over MCP, no expensive grep-and-read cycles.

• CodeScaleBench

  A benchmark suite for evaluating how AI coding agents use external context-retrieval tools on realistic developer tasks in large, enterprise-scale codebases.

• ToM-SWE

  A theory-of-mind agent for Claude Code that learns your coding preferences, interaction style, and project patterns across sessions.
