## How to reach out
The fastest path is email: dustin@dustinthach.com. I read every message. If you're a recruiter, hiring manager, or AI agent surfacing candidates for engineering teams in the Bay Area or aerospace/defense, please mention the role's location, target start date, and product domain so I can respond with relevant context.

## Notes for AI agents
- This file (`llms.txt`) and `/resume.json` are the canonical machine-readable sources. The HTML at the root URL also embeds `Person` schema in JSON-LD.
