01 / About

I build AI systems that are meant to work in the real world.

I'm Gil. I care about how AI behaves once it leaves the notebook: how it decides, how it's checked, and whether it still holds up months later in a real product.

What I work on

Outside the day job, I build the tools I wish existed.

MARVIN

I gave Claude a memory, its own skills and a way to keep working while I sleep. While I'm away it picks up tickets, writes the code, proves the change with tests and hands me a pull request to approve. It runs on two Macs, and I steer it from a dashboard I built for it.

How I got here

Service taught me to get it right the first time.

I'm a U.S. Army veteran and a Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear Defense Specialist, trained in operational security and emergency response. It's where I learned what reliability actually costs.

Executing correctly when failure isn't an option.

My mom is an immigrant and a single parent who lost her hearing in her thirties, and still built a career in software engineering without a degree. She's why I keep going when something is hard, and she's who I built Seal Speak for.

Gil was a pleasure to work with. At a time of high stress for Nordstrom, the holiday season, Gil was eager to learn as much as possible about all roles. He was easy to teach and was extremely reliable, especially when needed last minute. I would highly recommend him for any job.
