Software Engineer

## About

Building software for over 20 years. Focusing on distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and developer tools.

Currently interested in AI agents, durable execution, and modern web platforms.

## Projects

- [Everruns](https://everruns.com) - Durable AI agents platform
- [Trickery](https://github.com/chaliy/trickery) - Coding Agent friendly tool to magically generate text and image

## Blog

- [Now Is Awesome Moment to Start With Rust in AI](https://chaliy.name/blog/good-moment-to-start-rust-in-ai) - A practical start with agents in Rust: an IDE, a coding agent, Everruns Framework, and a look at experimental Everruns Serve, inspired by Topcoat.
- [Moving repository memory from specs to OKF](https://chaliy.name/blog/from-adrs-to-specs-to-okf) - How my project memory evolved from architecture decision records to living specs and now Open Knowledge Format bundles maintained together with the code.
- [You Do Not Need a Server for Evals](https://chaliy.name/blog/you-dont-need-a-server-for-evals) - Most evals do not need LangSmith, Braintrust or MLflow. Datasets, the runner, and the history all fit in your git repo - and your coding agent reviews the results for free.
- [My Three Phases of Coding with Agents](https://chaliy.name/blog/three-phases-of-agentic-coding) - How I actually work with coding agents. Three phases: design, implementation, ship. Each one has a job, and most of the value is in getting the first one right.
- [How Tool Search Works and How It Saves Tokens](https://chaliy.name/blog/how-tool-search-works) - Why agents drown in tool schemas, how tool search fixes it by deferring schemas and loading them on demand, the difference between generic and provider-specific search, and tricks to make it actually good.
- [Build a Docs Agent Without Vector Search](https://chaliy.name/blog/docs-agent-without-vector-search) - Build a LangGraph docs agent that searches read-only documentation files with Bashkit shell tools instead of a vector database or embeddings.
