Engineered
with AI.

I’ve shipped software that couldn’t fail: for 20M customers, for aircraft, for satellites. Then 13 production apps in 70 days, solo, with AI agents. Now I bring that discipline to how teams build with AI, so the agents multiply your engineers instead of flooding them with slop.

how i build

Build the right thing. Engineer it to hold. Lead the agents that write it.

01

Build

Decide what to build, and what to leave out. I settle the shape in a spec, before a line of code. That is the first call, and the hardest.

02

Engineer

Make it hold under real load. Kernel-grade rigor and compliance. Production systems, not prototypes.

03

Lead

Direct the workforce. I led teams across four markets; now I direct AI agents. Set the contract, own the result.

the method

Building the AI-native way?

I write about AI-native development every week: the discipline behind shipping with AI agents. Follow the work, or reach out.
