PRINCIPAL AI ENGINEER · AWS DEVELOPER TOOLS · HOUSTON, TX

Laith Al-Saadoon

I build tools that help AI agents work longer without human intervention, and make their work easier to inspect, verify, and improve.

Frontier Field Notes

  1. Prove the Spec Before You Write the Code with symspec

    Find contradictions in structured requirements before writing code. symspec uses Z3 to prove conflicts and reports the limits of what it checked.

  2. Yield Engineering for Fleets of Autonomous Coding Agents

    Shipping more pull requests is not the same as delivering useful work. Apply yield, rework, and defect measurements to a fleet of coding agents.

  3. Self-Improving AI Agents Will Reduce the Code You Ship

    Given one sentence, an agent pulled data, ran statistics, wrote a brief and kept what it learned in six minutes. Most software we ship is plumbing it can write.

Selected work

Tools for checking, running, understanding, and remembering agent work.

  • Verification

    symspec

    Find contradictions before writing the code.

    Checks structured requirements with Z3, identifies proven conflicts, and reports what it could not verify.

  • Execution

    microvms-agentd

    Give agents a computer you control.

    Run commands and transfer files inside AWS Lambda MicroVMs, with a CLI and Rust, Python, and Node libraries.

  • Measurement

    atif-sql

    Understand how the agent did the work.

    Turn coding-agent sessions into structured trajectories you can query with SQL to inspect how the work got done.

  • Memory

    memhtml

    Agent memory you can inspect and review.

    Store long-term memories as semantic HTML in Git, with automated curation on branches a person reviews before they land.

Beyond the work

Houston by way of Riverside, California. Science labs before software. Outside work: fishing, paintball, fiction, and a home gym run by a Raspberry Pi.
