About

I’m Evan, a software engineer in the SF Bay Area. I’ve spent 10 years building production software at startups, in fintech and in big tech.

Experience

Google · 7 years

Most of my career, as a software engineer across several product areas. For the last 4 years I focused on AI: building production systems on top of LLMs, and internal tooling that helps engineering teams work faster with AI.

Square · 1 year

Full-stack engineering on payments infrastructure, where correctness and reliability really matter.

Startups · 2 years

Small teams where I did a bit of everything: product, backend, frontend and infrastructure. That’s still how I think about shipping: own the whole thing, end to end.

What I work on

• LLM-powered products: RAG pipelines, agents, and the prompt and evaluation infrastructure that keeps them reliable
• AI developer tooling: tools and workflows that make engineering teams faster with AI
• Full-stack engineering: end-to-end ownership, from API design to UI

Outside work

Mountain biking and skiing in the Bay Area and beyond. I’m also always tinkering with side projects, and I write about them.

Say hello

I’m open to fully remote IC roles and small consulting projects, and I’m always happy to talk with people building interesting things with AI. If you’re hiring, have a project in mind or just want to compare notes, get in touch.
