I build and maintain open-source tools and publish measured, reproducible research for the LLM era.

My work includes LLMO (LLM Optimization) frameworks, developer CLIs such as domain-pre-flight and compact-ops, and practical experiments grounded in real-world measurements rather than speculation.

Sponsorship is never expected. But if my tools, research, or writing have saved you time, your support helps me keep this work open, maintained, and continuously improving.
