About

I’m Joe, a software engineer in New York.

I build software and pay attention to how the work gets done — the context, the tools, the constraints, and the feedback loops around it.

What I write about

I’m a software engineer at GetWhys, where I work on products that help teams understand and serve their customers.

I’ve become increasingly interested in the work that happens before code gets written: collecting the right context, shaping a problem, choosing tools, defining boundaries, and setting up fast feedback.

That preparation matters even more when an AI agent can produce a lot of code quickly. Speed is useful, but only when the setup is good enough to aim it.

This is where I share what I’m trying, building, and learning. The notes are practical, exploratory, and grounded in real projects.

Now

Working on agent tools and small products that make daily work easier.
Exploring deliberately simple coding-agent setups — one agent at a time.
Writing here about what holds up once the demos are over.
