Our team
Coding has changed more in the last two years than in the twenty before it. The languages, the tools, and the type systems we all rely on were designed for a world where humans did the writing. We're a small team rebuilding those foundations for a world where AI does most of it.

Avery Townsend
Avery revived the defunct LEGO Universe MMO with a custom C++ server emulator in high school, then wrote a full wgpu rendering backend from scratch and contributed to the Slint compiler while finishing a degree at UPenn.
Engineering
Dhilan Shah
Dhilan is a computer science intern from UT Austin who built agent-tries-baml, the system BAML uses to measure and improve how well AI agents write it.
Work on the hard parts.
We're looking for people who can move between product and systems, write clearly, debug patiently, and care about making AI software less fragile.
