Drew Butler.

I build tools for AI-native development.

I’m Drew Butler — a product-focused engineer and engineering leader, twenty years in and still shipping code every day. Lately that means open-source tooling for agentic development — norn, mimir, saga, skald — all named from Norse myth, because every side project deserves a pantheon. I write about what I learn building it. Based in Brooklyn.
