I sit at the intersection of product design and AI systems engineering. Over 15 years, my work has spanned end-to-end software delivery. From high-level user experience strategy to downstream implementation. Today, I build AI-native applications, designing the system constraints, evaluation logic, and product interfaces that make complex AI capabilities reliable, intuitive, and valuable in practice.

AI Agents & Tools: VERA & Stacks

VERA [validated evidence ready artifacts] is a set of skills that generate artifacts (strategy, roadmap, backlog, etc.) in language tied to actual confidence, not polish. Stacks is the single store for Risk→Assumption→Slice→Signal→Confidence→Decision per project, replacing scattered docs/sheets/Jira.

Harness Spec

Turns team makeup into a calculation instead of a gut call: feed it discovery material plus the capability model (capabilities, levels, scope units, titles), it outputs a seat list with reasoning as a sensible default.

API Integration Hub

Engineers stopped saying "I think this is safe to change" and started saying "I know what this affects." Vendors stopped asking "When can we go live?" and started tracking their own progress. Ops stopped firefighting failures and started preventing them.

Org Wide Capability Model

Org Wide Capability Model

The operating system for what we sell and who can deliver it. Turns “trust us, we’ve got good people” into a checked, queryable asset — the thing that lets us price with confidence and build teams without guessing.
