I'm Rareș. For the past decade, I've built software and systems across electric vehicles, payments and risk, blood diagnostics, healthcare operations, and AI. Most recently, I co-founded Contour, a health-tech company acquired by Commure. I studied mechatronics at Waterloo.
These days I'm in New York building developer tools and personal software, and working on a hacker space in Chinatown.
Atomic's MCP server works on one database per connection, so I wrote a picker. Along the way: where each tool keeps per-folder config, how to keep the token out of it, and why Codex ignores your .codex/config.toml.
Why /list-agents can show a Claude Code session's name when ccstatusline can't, and why my original setup spikes CPU.
A system design interview walkthrough: preserve who said what across storage, search, and analysis, and keep reported numbers explainable after models change.
The plan was to maximize what agents could do while I slept. By five in the morning the sleep had gone out the window and the sun was coming in through it. A persistent VM and an agent-aware terminal multiplexer let the work keep going without me.
