Hi, I'm Bryce

I'm a software engineer with over a decade of experience, including nearly ten years at eBay working on large-scale web and mobile experiences. Currently focused on AI-assisted development workflows, the Model Context Protocol ecosystem, and tools that make developers more effective.

I write about what I learn along the way — debugging CI pipelines, contributing PRs to major open source projects, and the surprisingly practical art of pairing with AI to ship real code.
