My experience is made of five bases.
Web, mobile, desktop, services and database. Since 1999, all five, in whatever language the job needed. Every rung of the helix is one of those five.
What I'm made of
Code & design
live in my DNA.
AI is the enzyme.
Two strands, bonded: engineering and design. Experience across web, mobile, desktop, services and data made me an architect. Overseeing multiple projects made me a tech lead.
The second strand is design, bonded to the first.
I studied computer science and graphic arts. Code and design in the same person is rare, and it is why the system I specify is also the one people want to use. Each engineering base is bonded to a design base: W to UI, M to UX, D to VI, S to SD, B to IA.
Experience taught me what fits where.
When I analyse a problem I see the structure: what data comes from where, where each piece goes, and whether A has to be understood before it can be handed to B. When you have built every part yourself, you know what will break first and what will still be standing next year.
Seeing the whole is why I can lead.
Because I can see the entire system, I can choose the stack, settle the architecture early and spot the technical hurdles before the team reaches them. Engineers move faster on a design they can see, and I stay in the code with them.
It speeds up the strand. It does not replace it.
An enzyme is not part of the DNA, but it moves along it and makes everything happen faster. That is AI for me: it helps me build, manage and generate new ideas, every day. Someone still has to know when it is wrong.

The age of AI
Knowing the tools is not enough. Everyone has the same models now.
What makes or breaks a project is the person guiding them: the experience to know what good looks like, the understanding of what the business needs, the judgement to pick the right tool for the job, the discipline to debug what comes back, and the ability to guide the AI, the team and the stakeholders through it.
01 · experienceI have seen this bug before.
Twenty-seven years of shipping is worth more than a faster model. I know what good looks like before the first line is written.
02 · understandingThe model knows the syntax.
I know what your business actually needs it to do, who will use it, and what happens when it is wrong.
03 · right tool for the jobNot every job is an AI job.
Sometimes it is a model, sometimes a query, sometimes a spreadsheet and a phone call. Choosing right is the first decision, and the cheapest one to get wrong.
04 · debuggingDebugging is a science, and it is getting lost.
A confident wrong answer looks exactly like a right one. I reproduce, isolate, test, and check the numbers against the source.
05 · guidanceGuiding the AI, the team and the stakeholders.
What to let the agent run, what the team must check, and what to promise the people paying for it. That is what makes or breaks a project.
Same tool. Different hands.
The same request, the same model, started at the same moment. One side follows the instruction. The other asks a few questions first. An illustration, not a benchmark.

Tools give you exactly what was typed. Experience asks what, why and for whom first, then builds the optimal result.
Tech lead
I make the technical calls, and clear the road.
I'm the tech lead on the insurance mobile application for TruStage at Cognizant. I own the technical direction: the stack, the architecture and the standards. My job is to see the hurdles before the team hits them, and remove them when they do.
- decideThe stack and the architecture.
I pick what fits the problem, not what is fashionable, and write down why, so the team builds on decisions it understands.
- unblockHurdles, cleared early.
Integration, performance, a dependency that will not behave: I look ahead for what will stop the team, and clear it first.
- guideReview, pair, raise the bar.
The team gets better, not just the code. AI tools included: I show people how to use them well and where not to trust them.

a hurdle comes to meI remove it and show the engineer how to handle it next time
AI, every day
Not a feature. A habit.
I use AI to write code, analyse data, run agents, research and generate ideas. Pick a session to watch an example. These are illustrations of how I work, not claims about a client.

Grounded in your data
Answers come from your own records, not from guesses.
Checked before it acts
Ordinary code and people verify the work before anything irreversible happens.
Priced up front
You know what it costs to run before you commit to it.
Bring me a problem
What is going wrong?
A scripted preview of how I think, not a chatbot. A demo agent will show you how it works, then it is your turn.

Most of my work is done for companies. These are side projects I am free to share.
There is more. Much of my company work stays private. I am happy to talk it through.
