01 / intro

Full-stack engineer, founder, product owner

I'm a full-stack engineer and product owner. For thirteen years I shipped production software at enterprise companies like Workday and VMware, and for the last two I've been building AI-native products on my own, mostly agents that take over work people used to do by hand. The part I care about is the engineering around the model: making something non-deterministic reliable enough to actually do a job with real stakes.

03 / how I work

The layer around the model

An unreliable model becomes reliable through the engineering around it. Those are the principles every project here is built on.

01

Don't ask the model to produce what you can look up or compute.

02

Ground everything so the system never invents an answer.

03

The model should know when it doesn't know, and ask.

04

Run customer interviews before you write the first prompt.
