In the AI storm, a rock of clarity and expertise

In the AI era, starting a new app is easy. Building for quality and reliability is still hard.

I have been in the tech industry for 15 years and building with AI since it came out. I help you use these tools to their full potential, applying battle-tested strategies and processes to give you enterprise-grade software at a fraction of the time and cost.

AI code tools promise that anyone can build the next revolutionary app idea. The reality is much more complicated. Many non-technical founders are finding that as they add more features, their once-beautiful app starts to fall apart, and their AI agent consistently fails to fix it.

This is actually not a new phenomenon - it's the same challenges that have always plagued large software projects, happening faster because of AI. I have over a decade of experience tackling those challenges.

I will work with you to lay down the processes, patterns, and key architecture decisions that overcome these problems - or prevent them in the first place! Instead of an AI-run "black box" with no structure, you will have a thoughtfully-crafted, custom system combining human intuition with AI speed.

Many teams struggle with growing pains in spite of having technical expertise. Even in the AI era, the overwhelming selection of cloud-based offerings, and the esoteric nature of cloud infrastructure, can make the gap between reliable code and a reliable, scalable, high-performance production system difficult to cross.

I have a unique background at the intersection of backend engineering and cloud infrastructure. I will work with your engineers and stakeholders to translate your customer journeys and domain requirements into a resilient architecture that will adapt and scale with your business - including CI/CD pipelines, automated quality gates, and the standards and practices that make all of this work smoothly for your AI agents and your engineers.

In the 2000s, business and marketing changed, from being conducted through newspaper ads, flyers, and telephone calls, to being conducted online. With AI, it is changing again. A WordPress or Shopify site is limited, difficult to change or update, and falls behind the competition.

I will build you a custom website or application tailored to your industry and business processes. AI means that I can do this very quickly and cheaply, and I will also help you incorporate AI into your workflows like marketing, outreach, and customer relationships.
