Staff Software Engineer · AI Developer Workflows

I build the surfaces where developers and AI collaborate.

I design and ship workflows that make powerful AI systems useful in practice. Lately, that has meant IDEs, mobile, voice, planning, and agent workflows - with a focus on preserving developer context, control, and flow.

A collaboration is only as good as its continuity. CCVI carries your context and your agency across devices: every session on your desktop is reachable from your phone or your voice - wake the machine, resume one mid-thought, or start something new from wherever you are.

Project

CCVI - Claude Code via IDE

A plugin / extension bringing all of Claude Code's agency into JetBrains IDEs, Android Studio, VS Code, and Cursor as a first class deep integration. CCVI works with its companion app Promptdown (iOS and Android) to provide its full control surface to remote devices - the same living session on your desktop machine - on your phone over a simple end-to-end encrypted relay server. The trailer above shows CCVI and Promptdown in action.

Promptdown

The native iOS and Android companion to CCVI - the full Claude Code control surface in your pocket (and tablet and TV). Promptdown joins the same living session running in your desktop IDE: browse the session directory, wake the sleeping machine and launch the editor of your choice, review plans and check off TODOs, and talk with Claude by voice - with only ciphertext crossing the relay. Working today, shown in the trailer above. Speech-to-text is each platform's native implementation; voice read-back is Hugging Face's Kokoro TTS, running on-device. Codex CLI coming soon.

ChatStore - Mac App Store

A native macOS app that turns your ChatGPT data export into a searchable archive. Conversations are faithfully recreated as markdown, displayed in a built-in viewer and exportable. Hybrid search combines FTS5 keyword matching with an on-device embedding model (sqlite-vec) fused via reciprocal rank - find conversations by meaning, not just words. Fully offline after a one-time model download. App Sandbox enabled. Built with AI, ships AI.

Disney Dev MCP Server

A local-first developer tool implementing the Model Context Protocol for Disney's engineering workflow. Provides code analysis and RAG capabilities using ChromaDB vector indexing and CodeBERT embeddings - all running on the developer's machine, not in the cloud. Designed for simple npm/git-clone distribution.

Project

MicBoom

A privacy-first macOS dictation utility built entirely by Keldon and AI, running entirely on-device. Hold a hotkey, speak naturally, and clean, structured text lands in any application - whisper.cpp with Metal flash attention and dynamic audio context for fast short clips, plus a text pipeline that strips filler and formats lists automatically. Screen-context priming feeds visible UI text to whisper.cpp so the vocabulary on your screen comes out spelled right.

Advancing AI

Keldon's internal video podcast for engineering teams across Disney - two seasons of short, hands-on episodes teaching practical agentic development: planning modes, agentic runbooks, MCP servers, creating Datadog dashboards, local vector databases, and prompt craft. MicBoom and the Disney Dev MCP Server above each got their debut episode here, and viewers pitch the next subjects.

Design Artifact

AIO - AI Orchestration Architecture

A comprehensive architecture specification (v9) for a human-in-the-loop AI orchestration system. Coordinates agents, artifacts, and decisions through filesystem I/O and append-only event sourcing. Restart-safe and crash-recoverable by design - workflows survive agent failures, machine reboots, and session loss, then rehydrate from canonical artifacts and event receipts. Features a monitor agent for external health observation (because derailed agents can't diagnose themselves), autonomous correction before human escalation, and Git worktree isolation for concurrent workflows.
