Engineering at Loop

Engineering the agentic infrastructure powering the physical economy.

My first 120 days at Loop

Four months, 170 pull requests, and one production LLM system later. A ground-level look at what it's like shipping to prod on day one at Loop, the culture that makes it possible, and the week a new generation of models landed and the ratio of hand-written to AI-written code flipped across the whole org.
