About Me

I am a Research Engineer at Meta, building and evaluating AI agents that millions of people and businesses use every day. I have worked on personal and business AI assistants, as well as coding and computer-use agents.

My research asks how we can rigorously measure what AI agents can really do. I contribute to multiple public LLM benchmarks, including work published in Nature and cited 1,000+ times.
