My name is Silas. I'm a software engineer turned product designer, working on agentic developer tools.
I was born in Hawaii and now live in the Pacific Northwest. As a lifelong learner, I'm completely self-taught. I devote my time to experimenting with emerging technologies and exploring how they shape human behavior. Being around passionate builders and makers energizes me. I have a high bar for quality and am obsessed with every detail.

Currently, you can find me leading design at DataStax, working on the next generation of developer tooling, or writing the next post for my newsletter.
