Dexter Horthy

Coined the term Context Engineering in April 2025, ranting about coding agents ever since. Started coding in high school at NASA JPL. Spent 7 years as Engineer, SE, PM, Exec at Replicated, a series C dev tools startup. I worked on container orchestrators, helped teams like Hashicorp, DataStax, and H2O.ai deliver and ship their on-prem k8s products.

What happens next.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.

01

Confirm the fit

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

02

I pitch you to the company

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

03

A meeting lands on your calendar

If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
