Kickstarting 2026 with a new role as a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic, where I will be helping grow the MCP ecosystem.

As 2026 rolls in, it’s time for me to turn the page to a new adventure. This also means that it’s a wrap on my current career chapter at Microsoft.

The past year has, arguably, been all about Model Context Protocol. This is a reflection on the past twelve months, and an outlook on the year to come.
