I Should Probably Talk About My Day Job

I talk about AI, robots, walking, football, and whatever else gets stuck under this hat.

Somehow, I don't talk enough about the company I actually work for.

Probably should fix that.

I've been at Subatomic for almost six months as VP of Sales Engineering. And I really enjoy what we're building and who I get to build it with.

Subatomic builds an agentic operating platform powered by Subatomic IQ. We call the agents AI Co-Workers, built around your company's data, processes, and way of doing things.

That starts with getting the data right. Connecting systems, cleaning up information, and building a usable foundation for the AI. Including the less glamorous work of data warehousing and structure.

Because giving AI access to a mess doesn't magically make it organized.

The enterprise deployment lives in your secure environment. You own your data. The approach is built around keeping it under your control and out of public model training.

We're also LLM-agnostic. We can use different models for different jobs, including multiple models within a workflow. I like having that flexibility in a space that changes every Tuesday.

Then there's Deep Lens, which is one of the parts I get most excited about.

You can inspect what an AI Co-Worker did, what data it used, and the steps from input to output. There is a record you can follow, review, and question.

Apparently, after all these years, we're still asking people to show their work. Now the software has to do it too.

That combination matters to me: useful work, control over your data, and visibility into what happened.

But the people are a huge part of why I enjoy being here.

Sam Sova, our co-founder and CEO, has an ability to connect with customers and understand an enterprise conversation that I really admire. I've learned a lot watching him lead.

Karl Simon, our co-founder and CTO, brings the technical understanding and architectural thinking behind what we're building. I love being around people who can take these ideas and figure out how to make them work.

And both understand that building a company takes a team. They've brought in some really talented people, and it's been fun watching that team grow in the short time I've been here.

Several coworkers are hitting their one-year anniversaries. I'm coming up on six months. There's a lot to appreciate in that.

They've also been incredibly supportive of Hat in the Loop and the content I create. Having room to be the guy in the hat while doing work I care about means a lot.

So, to Sam, Karl, and all my coworkers: thank you. I feel pretty blessed to work with you.

I should probably say that on here more often.
