Menor

Product engineer working where AI agents, frontend and interfaces meet.


Now

I'm learning this in the open. When an agent does part of the work, the interface has new jobs: show what a long task is doing, ask before anything destructive, and explain what happened when you come back. That's where I'm focused, and what I write about on the blog.


Building

Sol, the agent toolset for Upsun. The tool layer an agent or harness calls to operate the platform. → heysol.dev

A local app that syncs Plex playlists to an iPod, built on podscribe. It's my test bed for interfaces around long-running jobs. Read about it.

More landing through 2026.


Background

Years across frontend, frontend build systems and Node.js backends. Each maps to a part of building with agents: build tooling to agent tooling, Node and TypeScript to MCP and SDK work, and frontend to the product people actually use. The plan is to build AI products end to end, from the tools to the interface.
