Wrench at work
Wren Dougherty
I work on evaluation methodology and agentic systems for LLM-powered products. Outside work, I use coding agents to turn ideas into tools, write through what I learn, and train on the water.
Day job: LLM evaluation methodology, safety tooling, and training
Side projects: agentic products, useful tools, and technical notes
Water: training, racing, and reading wind and swell
