Hello, I'mAnthony
Salto.

Software engineer building open, easy-to-use AI tools.

Most of what I build fills a gap: something AI still struggles with, or something other apps make harder with subscriptions, confusing setups or collecting your data. The goal is tools anyone can use.

Open to new-grad SWE roles and internships for summer 2027

Aug 2026 – now · Research

Undergraduate Student Researcher

The University of Texas at Dallas

  • Researching why runtime safety guardrails fail on open-source AI agents (overblocking, compositional hazards). Audited AutoGPT's tools, state and sandboxing, mapping 17 tools and ranking the riskiest.
  • Building a failure taxonomy from 20+ real agent incidents, with a planned dataset of 150+ behavior traces from 10 open-source agents, toward a co-authored paper.

skills: [AI agents, AutoGPT, AI safety]

May – Aug 2026 · Faculty-led project

AI & Frontend Engineer · Project Mentor

The University of Texas at Dallas

  • Architected a 4-service FastAPI system that sends each question to the specialist agents it needs, runs them in parallel and returns a combined overview in about 8 seconds.
  • Led integration for a 4-person team: defined the REST contract and shared Postgres schema, then unified the agents behind one orchestrator.
  • Built the RAG pipeline (no orchestration framework) and the React frontend, and mentored 4 students through design, APIs and code reviews.

skills: [Python, FastAPI, Azure OpenAI, Postgres, pgvector, Supabase, GCP, React, TypeScript]

How it works

          
    
            
  1. 1The AI writes a few linesa short YAML description, like the one on the leftabove
    2. 
            
  2. 2sysketch lays it outparse, lay out with ELK, draw
    3. 
            
  3. 3You get the SVG or PNGfor docs, slides and PRs
    4.

17.8×fewer output tokens than having the AI draw the SVG on its own
5.3×faster to generate than a model-drawn SVG (5-diagram benchmark)

Same description, five themes.

  

    
    
    
    
    
  

  
Three ways to use it.

  

    

      
AI chat

      
Add the hosted server as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT. Nothing to install.

      
https://sysketch.vercel.app/mcp

    

    

      
Claude Code

      
Runs on your machine. The diagram is saved in your project with its short description, so you can ask for changes later.

      
claude mcp add sysketch -- npx -y sysketch-mcp

    

    

      
CLI

      
Turn a YAML file into an SVG or PNG straight from the terminal.

      
npx sysketch render diagram.yaml

    

  






  

    

      
Other projects

      
5 more projects, each with a diagram drawn by sysketch from a few lines of YAML and a full case study behind it.
