Market validation can change roadmaps. As I stated on Twitter/X, CLIs for agents was not a very interesting thing outside a small group earlier in 2026.
There is a two "calendar" launch process for OSS at Google, one "calendar" is org specific, the other OSS. I followed the process and each of the bits were flipped in the same way I had always done it.
I am not going to share much more than what I already have, but I think this speaks to the experience of working in big tech and the disruption caused by AI both at the level of teams/roadmaps/incentives and changing user behavior.
I am a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience bridging deep machine learning foundations with modern agent infrastructure. Previously a Senior Developer Relations Engineer at Google and a Founding Engineer at Descartes Labs.
Recently, I architected the open-source https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli in Rust—built entirely via AI agents which hit 20k+ stars and #1 on HN. My background spans building petabyte-scale Kubernetes architectures, engineering visual search engines over billions of satellite images, and developing full-stack embedded Rust IoT firmware with custom LoRa mesh networking for endurance races.
I excel at taking systems from 0 to 1 and driving adoption developer experiences. I'm looking for Senior/Staff or Founding Engineer roles where I can tackle complex distributed systems or build secure, agent-first infrastructure.
