Spec-Driven Development Works. The Hard Part Is Where You Cut It.
Two weeks of SDD on a real client team: 40% more tests, 80% of a feature shipped from PRD with little engineer touch. The new bottleneck isn't AI.
AI Adoption Strategist · Fractional CTO
Your engineering team needs to adopt AI.
I make sure they do it right.
I work with engineering leaders to build AI-literate teams — from tool selection and workflow integration to security review and org-wide skills frameworks. Over a decade of hands-on technical leadership, applied to the problem that matters most right now.
How I Work With Engineering Teams
Most AI adoption fails because it starts with tools instead of people. I start with your team's workflows, your risk profile, and your actual goals.
AI Adoption
Structured programs to move your engineering team from AI-curious to AI-capable. Tool evaluation, workflow integration, prompt engineering training, and the security guardrails to do it responsibly.
Fractional CTO
Part-time technical leadership for teams that need senior engineering direction without a full-time executive hire. Roadmap, architecture, hiring, and the hard calls that keep scaling on track.
Hands-On Engineering
When the work needs building, not just advising. Backend systems, infrastructure, DevOps, and smart contract development from someone who still writes production code.
Engineering Mentorship
One-on-one guidance for engineers growing into senior and staff roles. Architecture thinking, technical leadership, and navigating the shift from individual contributor to force multiplier.

Your AI Adoption Isn't Stalled. Your Decisions Are.
