Building DevX at Google Maps Platform
San Francisco
Builder platforms for humans and agents.
I work on engineering and product teams to build developer tools and AI products that drive growth.
Notes
Builder Platforms Grow by Owning the Agent Loop
Give coding agents a tested path into your platform, measure what works, and use the results to improve activation and retention.

Fine-Tuning Was the Easy Part
Tuning a model for your own app is easy. The real challenge is distribution: publishing traces and benchmarks so every AI agent automatically learns your platform's best practices.
The Model That Picks Your Platform Doesn't Write the Code
As open models make code execution cheaper, a developer platform's moat becomes the loop of context, evals, and distribution that keeps critical developer journeys working while the models underneath churn.
Loop Engineering Coding Agent
Use a lean orchestrator, lower-cost workers, and an evidence loop to spend agent tokens where they matter.
Labs
Reference apps I shipped, and experiments that didn't have to work.
Strava 3D Explorer
Fly your Strava routes in Photorealistic 3D with follow-camera animation, an elevation profile, and your ride photos on the path.

Google Maps Platform Agent Skills
Portable skill modules that teach AI agents how to build with the platform across Web, Android, iOS, and Web Services. Installed with one command.
Agentic Eval Suite
Task-based evals that benchmark AI context products against a no-context baseline and inform launch and roadmap decisions.
OSS client libraries more than doubled active reach in one year
Between early 2025 and 2026, our open-source ecosystem more than doubled its unique active users, with strong growth in API engagement.
Collaborate
Growing a developer platform, or getting one ready for agents?
That's most of what I work on. Happy to consult, collaborate, or just trade notes.
