Dylan Moore

Summary

I build software products and developer tools, with a focus on reliable systems and practical AI — local-model pipelines, retrieval, and evaluation harnesses where correctness of the measurement matters as much as the result. Currently a founding developer at PodFirst. Open to senior software engineering roles.

Experience

Selected work

• SQL Lab — designed and shipped a free in-browser PostgreSQL practice tool: 45 original operational drills (joins, window functions, CTEs, dates, messy real-world data), progress tracking, and an optional AI coach that never receives the canonical solution. Runs entirely client-side.
• Fusion (@dymoo/fusion, open source) — built a local proxy that serves the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs and routes each request between models for coding agents: an in-process embedding classifier sorts trivial, normal, and hard work, and hard turns convene a multi-model council whose briefing feeds a single actor model that keeps tool access.
• Local coding-model distillation and evaluation — distilled frontier-teacher trajectories into a 4-bit 12B student model with LoRA, evaluated with test-gated scoring (RED → GREEN on the target repo’s own suite) and a separate honesty gate; documented results and negative results with error bars in a full write-up.
• Media understanding — built @dymoo/media-understanding, an open-source MCP server that turns audio, video, and images into transcripts, keyframe grids, and exact frames for LLM agents, with a probe-first workflow and budget-capped, interleaved output.
