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 buildingTurning Obsidian Into a Queryable Second Brain with obsidian-llm-hub
A hands-on review of obsidian-llm-hub: RAG over your notes, LLM write access with guardrails, and why open source matters for a second brain you'll keep.
Your Meeting Transcripts Are a Training Corpus for Institutional Knowledge
LLMs make years of meeting transcripts and threads mineable. Why leaders should treat recorded, open communication as infrastructure — and the trade-offs.
Validation 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.
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.
