Open to Head of Engineering & CTO roles
I take agentic AI from demo to production — and build the teams that ship it.
Both sides of agentic AI
I own what decides whether an agent survives real usage: cost, observability and usage metrics, instrumented end to end. Four agents are in production with 3 major partners on revenue share.
A 100% AI-native team on trunk-based delivery, working from PRDs, architecture and security docs. Cost and usage tracked per developer, held to a measured standard — not vibes.

The process my team ships with, open-sourced: spec-driven, trunk-based delivery where agents build from the spec, a separate agent reviews it, and humans merge.
Security research
Ethical hacking and threat modeling background. I write about how real systems fail:
How we measured Claude Code with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki and Grafana, and what cost per developer and per skill revealed about AI coding.
What 18 years taught me about managing engineers: asking for help, leading with clarity, staying technical in the AI era, remote trust and sincere care.
