Hi, I'm Ryan

Working on AI agents + evals

Building things that change the world

I'm passionate about exploring the frontiers of AI technology, with a focus on developing intelligent agents and evaluation systems. Currently working on OpenAlita and other projects that push the boundaries of what's possible.

Agent Research

Exploring the frontiers of AI agent capabilities, from reasoning to tool use and multi-modal interactions.

Following and exploring cutting-edge open-source projects in the AI agent space. Some projects I'm particularly excited about:

Alita - Agent that creates MCP tools autonomously
OpenManus - General purpose AI assistant
LightEval - Lightweight evaluation framework for language models

Previous stuff I built

EvalHub

Built a platform designed to help researchers and developers discover evaluation metrics for their AI models, streamlining the process of evaluating AI models. Project discontinued (was busy climbing mountains in Europe).
