Steve Morin
VP of Engineering at Flox. Building reproducible developer environments on Nix, and leading AI transformation across engineering.
about
I lead engineering at Flox, where we're making reproducible development environments something every team can use — not just Nix experts.
A former startup founder, I held engineering leadership roles at Instagram, Asana, and Yahoo, and was CTO of Tripping.com through its acquisition by HomeToGo. These days I spend my time on one question: how great engineering teams build great products in the age of agents.
14 U.S. patents and applications in AI, computer vision, and collaboration software — Instagram (Meta) and Asana. (Justia: Steve Morin · Steve B. Morin)
now
These days I'm deep in agentic harnesses and fine-tuning — building the scaffolding that turns language models into dependable engineering teammates, and tuning the models themselves for the jobs that scaffolding reveals. This site is itself a product of that work: redesigned end-to-end by agents under supervision.
videos
I make short videos demystifying AI and engineering concepts for 15,000+ people who don't have time to read papers.

patents
US11379908B2 · 3-D product reconstruction from crowd photos meta
Builds a spinnable 3-D model of a product by fusing a seller's catalog shots with everyday photos other users posted of the same item — AI vision turning crowd photos into shopping-grade 3-D.
US11704716B2 · auto-tagging products in photos meta
An AI vision model that recognizes catalog products inside a user's photo and tags them automatically — or offers a ranked shortlist when it isn't confident enough to decide alone.
US12579515B2 · meeting audio → work records asana
An AI model that learns how people link meeting recordings to their tasks, then maps new recordings to the right work items on its own — a recorded conversation becomes structured work without manual note-taking.
US12619954B2 · task creation from a language model asana
A language model trained on a team's own writing that drafts new tasks and work records itself — raw text in, a structured plan out.
speaking
GitHub Universe 2026 [proposed] — "From Vibes to Verified: Engineering Deterministic, Secure Agents," with Ron Efroni (Flox), Dex Horthy (HumanLayer), and Ankur Goyal (Braintrust).
advising
ADVISING
I work with a small number of early-stage developer-tools and AI companies on engineering and product strategy.
INVESTING
Separately, I invest in early-stage companies — including Raycast, type.ai, and CopilotKit.
