Hello, I’m Philip
A builder.
Still curious.
I’m an AI systems engineer and open-source contributor in New Rochelle, New York. I’ve been building software since 1998.
Experience across the whole system.
My work has moved through enterprise applications, data platforms, and AI systems. The common thread is making complicated technology useful in the day-to-day work of a team.
Today that includes agent platforms with MCP integrations, retrieval systems with evaluation and release checks, and AI over private business data. I work across the architecture, implementation, and operational details that connect them.
Time close to the hardware.
Alongside that work, I explore local AI on Apple Silicon. I’ve contributed correctness fixes to Apple’s MLX and MLX-LM projects and publish model experiments, runtime work, and technical documentation.
I like the discipline of open source: a concrete problem, a patch someone else can inspect, and a clear account of what the result does and doesn’t establish.
