Coffee Aggregator
The Press
Specialty coffee aggregator pulling beans from 50+ independent roasters.
Hi, I'm Jon.
Engineering leader at Filevine. I publish essays occasionally — usually on management, teams, and how software actually gets built — and keep working notes more often. On the side I'm building The Press (a specialty coffee aggregator) and Pantheon (a CLI for coordinating LLMs), and tinkering with Eurorack synths when I'm not at a keyboard.
A personal newspaper, curated each morning by an LLM pipeline from sources I follow.
