Kevin Lin builds apps, agents, and Model Context Protocols (MCPs) at OpenAI. Before that, he founded Dendron, a YC-backed startup designed to help humans manage complex information and context.

His work centers on agentic engineering—building deliberate systems that help AI agents write and maintain high-quality code. He focuses on helping software developers adopt an agent-first mindset to sustainably scale their output.

When he steps away from his keyboard, he runs long distances and dances salsa.
