I'm building Scout, turning AI agents into trusted teammates. Before that: three-time startup CTO and VP of Engineering, co-founder of Breathe Life (acquired by Zinnia), and engineering leadership at Meta. Everything I've built led to Scout. This is the index. The work lives at arach.dev, and the thinking lives at arach.io.
