I help tech companies ship with AI agents and automate processes at scale

3+ Years Building AI Agents
7 Country Distributed Team
300+ Employee Org Transformed

Tech companies know they need to move faster with AI. Most just don't know where to start.

I work with founders and engineering leaders on two things. First, AI native development consulting. I help engineering teams shift from traditional coding to agent driven development. Not prompt engineering. Full production pipelines where AI agents go from spec to deployment, with verification systems that make the software actually reliable.

Second, enterprise wide AI automation. I go inside organizations, sit with teams across departments, find the highest leverage automation opportunities, and build the systems. I currently do this for an engineering organization with 300+ employees, leading their AI transformation hands on.

I also authored “AI Agent 2026,” a book on building production systems with AI agents, and write regularly about how the role of the engineer is changing as verification replaces code authorship.

Agent Driven Development

Spec driven pipelines where AI agents go from requirements to verified, production ready code.

Enterprise Transformation

Published Author

“AI Agent 2026” covers building production systems with AI agents. Written from real experience, not theory.

Three ways I can help

Whether you need consulting, platform setup, or end to end automation, every engagement starts with understanding your problem.

Agentic Development Consulting

Teaching engineering teams to ship with AI agents. Maturity assessment, pipeline design, spec driven development, and a 6 layer trust verification system.

$200 – $8,000

Secure AI Agent Platforms

Claude Code, OpenClaw, NemoClaw setup with production security hardening. Not the default install that ships with 512 known vulnerabilities.

$150 – $1,500

Enterprise AI Automation

Connecting AI agents to your CRMs, Slack, databases, and internal tools. AI that actually touches your real workflows, not just generates text in isolation.

$200 – $5,000

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.
