Experience

Open Source Contributor, Nous Research, Hermes Agent

Remote | Jul 2026 - Present

39 commit credits on the main branch of Hermes Agent (260k+ GitHub stars): 25 authored and 14 co-authored, plus 11 merged pull requests across Hermes Agent and the official plugins.
Hardened gateway lifecycle in Python: durable startup-failure stamps, unprovable-ownership handling for restart loops, and liveness probe diagnostics.
Bounded tool availability probes so a wedged check cannot hang an agent turn, and scoped git force-push approval patterns to the command segment.
Improved SQLite state and cron reliability, including stable tool identity for display rows and failure stamps that keep healed runs visible.
Published 10 standalone Hermes skills for monitoring and digests, covering TLS expiry, disk, public IP, releases and system vitals.
