What technology or tool have you been tinkering with lately?

I’ve been building Strata, an agent-first collaborative markdown platform with MCP, CLI, and API access, a sandboxed AI environment, scheduled agents, and third-party connectors. I’m particularly interested in making shared context useful to both people and agents, and turning complex workflows into intuitive tools. I dogfood Strata by using it to collaborate with my coding agents as well as human collaborators on the project.

This builds on my work at Amazon, where I created an agent harness adopted across four organizations and productionized an MCP server exposing developer tools to engineers and AI agents. I enjoy owning the full path from interface and architecture to production adoption.
