1. tarobase.role

   Chief Architect

   Aug 2025 - Present

   Tarobase (OpenApps, Bounded, poof.new)

   • openapps.xyz
   • bounded.sh
   • poof.new

   Venture-backed AI agent platform startup. Hired and now lead a ~5-engineer team.

   • Own agentic platform strategy, full-stack architecture, roadmap, and infrastructure cost model for OpenApps, Bounded, and poof.new: one runtime (auth, data, functions, realtime, payments, hosting) behind 5K+ agent-built apps.
   • Architecting OpenApps, the company's upcoming flagship: community-owned apps that keep running after their creators step away, hosted on Bounded so the runtime, not the creator, holds every credential.
   • Designed guardrails for agent-written apps: the runtime enforces declared data boundaries and invariants on every write, and verification fails closed with concrete counterexamples before a bad change deploys.
   • Cut sandbox cold starts ~60% with a new deployment pipeline and edge caching layer, supporting 5K+ concurrent sessions with multi-tenant isolation.
   • Reduced LLM spend 25%+ via multi-LLM routing by task complexity, with no drop in production quality metrics.
   • Built eval harnesses for Claude Code, Codex, and MCP workflows and hill-climbed agent task success on them; co-maintain the Bounded TypeScript SDK (5K+ monthly npm downloads) and CLI.

   • Built the Dexcom continuous glucose monitor (CGM) pipeline behind real-time insights and in-app game features.
