What I'm actually doing this month.

Evaluating build-vs-buy across the AI stack, designing the next generation of prose-first agents, and writing about what actually ships in production AI.

building
  • A reference architecture for prose-first agentic systems — turning natural-language specs into deployable agents with retrieval, evaluation, and guardrails baked in.
  • AI-driven QA tooling that closes the loop between failing tests and code suggestions.
evaluating
  • Custom ML vs. managed services (AWS Comprehend, Azure AI) for document understanding at scale.
  • Agent evaluation harnesses — what "passes" really means for non-deterministic systems.
writing
  • A field guide to prose-first agents for operations teams.
  • Lessons from taking AI from prototype to production in a regulated environment.
reading
  • Recent eval / agent papers, plus anything thoughtful on team topology for AI orgs.
open to
  • Director / Head of AI conversations where strategy, hands-on architecture, and team leadership intersect.
get in touch

If any of this overlaps with what you're working on — or you're hiring for the kind of role described above — I'd genuinely like to talk.
