The AI Agent Memory System I Built Was Broken — Here Is the Redesign

Append-only markdown memory works great — until it doesn't. After watching the system degrade in production, our team redesigned it from scratch with strict principles: small, high-signal, controlled, and self-maintaining.

How I work

Architecture

I start by understanding constraints and tradeoffs. Choose patterns that fit the problem, not the hype. Focus on maintainability and team velocity.

Quality

Type safety, testing, code reviews, and clear documentation. Ship fast, but ship right. Build systems that teams trust and enjoy working with.

Delivery

Break down complexity into shippable increments. Unblock teams, reduce friction, and keep momentum. Balance perfect with done.

Team

Share context, mentor actively, and foster ownership. Good code is a team sport. Invest in people, not just systems.
