    Location: Toronto, Canada Remote: Yes (ET, overlap with US time zones) Willing to relocate: Yes — actively working toward a US move Technologies: Python, Rust, PyTorch, browser automation, agent evals &amp; reliability, Claude Code, PostgreSQL, Linux&#x2F;self-hosted infra Résumé&#x2F;CV: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phnix.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phnix.dev Email: itsjosii@phnix.dev

    I keep AI agent systems reliable after they ship. Public proof: Blackreach — browser agent with resumable state and outcome verification independent of the agent&#x27;s self-report, validated at an exact public commit with 3,055 passing tests and a controlled real-browser demo (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phnix.dev&#x2F;projects&#x2F;blackreach" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phnix.dev&#x2F;projects&#x2F;blackreach). Also Lethe (benchmark for agent drift over extended runs) and Huginn (self-hosted data API, 800+ tests).

    Open to full-time remote (or US with relocation) and contract work — I run scoped reliability diagnostics and retainers for teams with browser agents or tool-using workflows in production: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phnix.dev&#x2F;reliability" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phnix.dev&#x2F;reliability
