I'm a GTM engineer based in San Francisco Bay Area. I build internal AI agents and go-to-market AI agents that run inbound, outbound, paid, and email for AI-native B2B SaaS. Internal agents help the GTM team — AEs, SDRs, BDRs, RevOps — work pipeline. Go-to-market agents run a surface directly under human supervision. The two classes have different design constraints, supervision models, and failure modes, and the distinction is most of the work.

The work sits at the intersection of AI agents and revenue systems. The next decade of GTM is being rewritten there — answer engines reshaping discovery, agents handling research and personalization, the four surfaces all becoming engineering surfaces. I'm trying to be one of the small number of people who sits credibly at that intersection, with the code and the case studies to show for it.

01

How I work

six principles
  1. Architecture beats tools.

    architecture

    Tools change every quarter. The architecture of how data, intelligence, and activation fit together does not. Encyclopedia content here uses category-level language; tool specifics live on /stack.

  2. Failure modes are the credibility signal.

    reliability

    Every case study names what broke. Every encyclopedia page names the constraints — deliverability, crawl budget, brand-voice drift, attribution gaps — that decide whether a system survives production.

  3. Numbers come from real builds or they don't appear.

    rigor

    No projected pipeline, no aggregated CAC, no "typical open rate." Just the runtime, the token spend, the dedup pass rate, the pages indexed — from a specific build, attributed to a specific case study.

  4. TDD on agents is non-negotiable.

    quality

    Pytest unit tests on every agent node, integration tests on external APIs with VCR-recorded fixtures, LLM-as-judge eval sets that gate prompt regressions in CI.

  5. Internal vs. go-to-market is a real distinction.

    taxonomy

    Most "agentic GTM" content blurs the two. Internal agents have implicit supervision (a human reviews every output). Go-to-market agents have explicit supervision (HITL gate, brand-voice validator, factuality check).

  6. Built and broken in the open.

    transparency

    I write what I ship and what breaks. The newsletter, the library, the encyclopedia — they exist to compound a body of work that survives review.
