Engineering. By Design.

I work with engineering leaders to embed AI into workflows, decisions, and delivery.

Not just toolchains—operating models. I help teams redesign how they build, review, and ship with AI at the system level.

AI Consulting & Strategy

I help engineering leaders integrate AI into how their teams operate — not just what tools they use.

AI Workflow Design

Designing development workflows where AI agents handle execution and engineers focus on judgment and architecture. Moving teams from ad-hoc prompting to structured, repeatable AI-driven processes.

Process architecture
Human-in-the-loop design
Structured AI integration

Agent Orchestration

Structuring multi-agent systems, prompt engineering at scale, and review patterns that keep humans in control. Building the coordination layer between AI capabilities and engineering standards.

Multi-agent systems
Prompt engineering at scale
Quality control patterns

Developer Leverage

Identifying where AI multiplies engineering output — code generation, content pipelines, testing, documentation — without adding risk or eroding code quality.

Output multiplication
Risk-aware automation
Measurable productivity gains

Enterprise AI Adoption

Helping leadership navigate AI integration with governance, security boundaries, and measurable ROI. Strategy that survives contact with compliance, not just a demo.

Governance frameworks
Security boundaries
ROI measurement

Applied AI in Production

These products are how I test and refine AI-driven development in real systems. Each one is built and operated with the same patterns I bring to consulting.
