Compensation partner who builds AI agents that prepare comp analysis

I work in compensation at Google. After hours I build AI agents that prepare comp analysis, and they never make the pay decision. I test where a language model should stop, where plain code should take over, and what a person has to decide.

Models write the words. Code computes the money. People decide.

A new build log every Tuesday. These are personal projects on synthetic data. The pay structures in the demos are invented. Views are my own. I'm also in Carnegie Mellon's executive education program in agentic AI, 2026. Open to conversations about compensation and AI roles. Message me on LinkedIn.

How I build

1. Keep identifiers out of the model

Before any model call, names, national IDs and salaries become placeholders. They map back after the model answers, so the prompt doesn't hold the real values.

2. Let a person approve

Comp decisions wait on approvals that can take days. The workflow saves its state at each step and waits for a named approver before anything reaches a manager.

3. Code computes the money

The model doesn't do arithmetic. Range math, compa-ratios and vesting run in plain code with tests. The model explains the results.

Build log every Tuesday

An agent I'm building that reads a synthetic company's pay, equity and offer data and drafts a retention brief. A comp partner reviews the draft and decides what goes to a VP.
