I turn ambiguity into
executable technical direction.
For fifteen years I've built and led engineering organizations — deciding what to build, how to build it, and how to shape the team that ships it. Currently leading technology at PlantBid.

01 / Notes on buildingValidation Is the New Bottleneck: Reviewing AI Output You Can't Read Line-by-Line
Parallel coding agents outpace line-by-line review. How engineering leaders should redesign validation around contracts, tests, invariants, and telemetry.
The Orchestrator Skill: One Conversation to Keep, Many Contexts to Burn
How a thin orchestration skill keeps one high-level AI conversation small while sub-agents absorb and discard the expensive context — plus the real trade-offs.
Build the Dashboard Before You Build the Feature
Why senior builders should treat internal developer control panels — snapshot, restore, seeding, flag toggles — as first-class infrastructure for a tight feedback loop.
The Hidden Tax of Being CTO, IC, and AI Orchestrator at Once
AI lets one leader operate across more of the stack at once. The real edge isn't capacity — it's deliberately managing attention. A frame for doing it well.
When We Stop Reading the Code
A forecast: when humans stop reading code and start reviewing contracts and telemetry, machines write optimizations no engineer would attempt by hand.
About
02 / Track recordI build engineering organizations that turn into momentum — from first commit to a team that ships without me in the room.
Building something hard, or weighing a big technical decision? Let's talk.
I take on select advisory work — early-stage product and tech strategy, architecture reviews, and applied AI.
