Kieran Klaassen is a software engineer at Every, where he builds Cora, an AI email assistant. He created the compound engineering methodology — a system where each unit of engineering work makes subsequent work easier — and open-sourced it as a Claude Code plugin used by thousands of developers.
He writes about AI-assisted development, builds tools that teach themselves from code reviews, and believes the future of engineering is less about writing code and more about building the systems that write it.
