Albert Stanley

AI product engineer in San Francisco

I turn messy workflows into fast, reliable software.

At Broccoli AI, I build agent-driven tools for home-service operators: chat surfaces, search, workflow automation, data pipelines, and the interfaces that make them usable.

Before that I co-founded Serra, a YC S23 recruiting company, and did bioinformatics work at Quon Lab. I care about systems that are practical, fast, and easy to trust.

Work

A few places I've built product, infrastructure, and AI systems.

Broccoli AI

Building agentic software for home-service teams: technician chat, dispatcher workflows, search, data pipelines, and operational tools.

Now

Serra

Co-founded a YC S23 recruiting platform focused on search, matching, and workflow automation for hiring teams.

Founder

Quon Lab

Worked on bioinformatics research at UC Davis, where I learned to care about data quality, reproducibility, and complex information systems.

Research

Notes

Short ideas from things I've actually been building.

Working noteAgents need boring infrastructureStreaming, resume, persistence, evals, and the unglamorous parts that make AI tools feel reliable.Working noteSearch is product designEvery workflow seems to need a different kind of search, and generic search often misses the point.Working noteData plumbing is product workA few notes from replacing brittle integrations with simpler syncs, raw tables, and useful internal analytics.

Misc

A few recurring interests.

Now

Agents for field-service work, better internal tools, and interfaces that make operations less chaotic.

Tools

TypeScript, React, Python, Postgres, ClickHouse, search, evals, and enough infra to keep product work honest.

Side quests

SF live music, tiny web tools, black cats, and overly specific data-cleaning projects.

Question

What changes when software can keep context, take action, and still stay understandable?
