Architect & engineer for teams who need production systems, not prototypes.
I've spent 20 years building production software — architect and founding engineer on a healthcare platform that reached 150+ hospitals, and on AI-first delivery systems where agents and engineers ship to the same codebase behind real review gates. frontdesk-intake is the open, working example of that: built in public, live, with the ADRs and CI to show the thinking.
I let AI agents write 93 pull requests. The interesting part is the 21 times they got blocked. →
Tell me roughly what you're building and what's stuck, and I'll tell you whether I can help.
What it takes to make agent output safe to merge — and what happened when the guardrails blocked me.
A focused, fixed-scope build — a tool, an integration, an audit. You get a clear deliverable, a clear timeline, and a clear price before we start.
A build that needs more than a weekend — an embedded effort for weeks to a few months, working alongside your team on one concrete system.
Embedded architecture and engineering leadership for a longer runway — the kind of work that reshapes how a team ships, not just what it ships.
