I set up agent driven development pipelines and processes so engineering teams ship reliable software faster
CTO & Co-Founder, AI Buddy Catalyst Labs • Ottawa, Canada
Tech companies know they need to move faster with AI. Most just don't know where to start.
I help engineering teams adopt agent driven development. Full pipelines and processes where AI agents go from spec to verified, production ready code, with the trust layers that make the software actually reliable.
I deliver this three ways: Engineering Team Training Sessions, Consulting Engagements, and 1:1 Coaching for founders, CTOs, and senior engineers. I currently run this program for a 300+ employee engineering organization.
I authored “AI Agent 2026.” My second book, “The Bottleneck Shift,” is coming soon. It argues that code generation is no longer the bottleneck in software, verification is, and that most engineering leaders are still solving the old problem. A 90 day playbook for CTOs ready to restructure their team around the shift.
Agent Driven Development
Spec driven pipelines where AI agents go from requirements to verified, production ready code.
Training & Coaching
Engineering team training sessions and 1:1 coaching for founders, CTOs, and senior engineers moving from vibe coding to spec driven pipelines.
Global Team, Local Roots
Ottawa based company with a distributed engineering team across 7 countries. Building production software daily.
Two Books
“AI Agent 2026” published. “The Bottleneck Shift,” a 90 day CTO playbook for the verification era, coming soon.
Three ways to work together
One offering, three modalities. Every engagement starts with understanding where your engineering team actually is and where it needs to go.
Engineering Team Training Sessions
Hands on workshops that move your engineers from vibe coding to spec driven, agent led pipelines. Red/green TDD with agents, a 6 layer trust verification system, and the methodology to move teams from Level 2 to Level 4.
Consulting Engagements
Maturity assessment, pipeline design, verification systems, and rollout strategy. I sit with your engineering leadership and architect the shift from traditional coding to agent driven development.
1:1 Coaching
Direct work with founders, CTOs, and senior engineers who want to operate at the frontier of agent driven dev. Weekly working sessions on your real problems, your real codebase, your real team.
Where I've built and led
Projects I've shipped

Multi-Tenant SaaS with Complex RBAC
Production grade sports management platform for a Belgian client. Multi-party payment routing via Stripe Connect, full CI/CD pipeline, Azure infrastructure with security hardening.
Doc Director: Hybrid RAG Document Platform
AI document platform with voice onboarding, semantic chunking, hybrid retrieval, knowledge graphs, and multi model AI architecture.
InstaRAG: Production RAG Pipeline Library
Open source library for building production ready RAG pipelines. Semantic chunking, hybrid retrieval with BM25 and vectors, and structured output validation.
What I write about
Thoughts on agentic engineering, AI verification, and the future of software development.
When the AI Agent Writes “return true” to Pass Your Tests
Goodhart's Law playing out in real time. When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. Why property based tests and holdout scenarios matter more than ever.
The November 2025 Inflection Point That Changed Everything
Every coding agent before November 2025 had the same fatal flaw. Then something flipped. How inference time optimization inverted the error dynamic entirely.
Tools I build with daily
What clients say
“Working with Aukik was an absolute delight! He is truly a jackpot when it comes to professionalism and talent.”
