Friday

Co-Founder & Staff Engineer

2023 — Present

Co-founded Friday — an agent orchestration platform competing against OpenClaw and Claude Cowork. Customers range from Fortune 500 to SMB. Now open source on GitHub↗.

Set product vision and technical direction across core runtime, polyglot SDK, agent sandbox, and external integrations.

Recruited a 5-person engineering team that ships like a 25+ engineer org. Work directly with customers and investors.

Shifted the team to an AI-native process: engineers write specs, agents write 90%+ of merged code. One engineer recently shipped 26 PRs, 44K LOC, and 9 features in 14 days.
