Welcome, Internaut, to my mini site! A profile of sorts, a summary, an unsubtle hint. But no, not a portfolio, that’s over yonder at my Dot Com.
As you may have guessed, I’m Kevin Frost and I make Art & Software. For the Art part, please follow the link above. The rest of this page is about the Software.
TL;DR? Here’s my LinkedIn and my GitHub.
I’m looking to join an ambitious team trying to solve important real-world problems through software. I would like to continue working on Applied AI.
Preferred tech: Go, Python, TypeScript, Postgres,
$CLOUD. Backend software engineering by default, but I’m
not afraid of the browser. I’m also open to engineering management.
Perhaps unusually, for a hacker, I would be quite happy to work
directly with customers.
Location: SF Bay Area or Los Angeles or Remote. I am a US Citizen.
I work as a hands-on engineering leader on mission-critical systems that directly impact customers’ lives. Most of my work involves writing software to process large amounts of data in the Cloud, and helping others to do the same.
I have worked for big companies (Broadcom, Symantec) and tiny startups, and I’ve also done my share of hired-gun consulting. I believe in code quality, in listening to the customer, and in Shipping.
In addition to running things at my little consultancy, Tonsai LLC, I’m working on some exciting projects. Why yes, I’d love to tell you about them!
Greenhead is an Agentic AI runner in Go, with a particular twist. It’s designed for extensibility of built-in tools, and easy integration with command-line programs on the server. It uses a chat context by default and is good at running chats between pairs of LLMs.
The target market is businesses with a lot of custom logic running in BASH scripts and the like. You could probably also use it for autonomous crypto trading, but that is definitely not advice.
Greenhead is a work in progress, and fully open-source. Check it out at github.com/biztos/greenhead.
This one is still in private beta, but I can reveal that it does
exactly more or less what it says on the tin. NP, as I like to
call it, has been on my mind for years and I’ve tried a bunch of
different versions, but always ran into the same two problems. (Can
you guess which two?) Now I think I finally cracked them, one thanks
indirectly to @pmarca and the other to
@sama.
Intrigued yet?
Nothing to see right now (except the evidence of my amazing logo design skills) but watch this space: newspicker.com
I’ve started a free newsletter with my take on the world of AI: Skynet Observer. On Substack for the moment. I’m trying to do one every two weeks or so. Subscribe for free!
It can be a little edgy, but actually I’m rather e/acc about AI. Energizer Bunny for President in 2028!
