Engineering leadership for the agentic age

This is a transition you can't delegate. But you don't have to figure it out alone.

I help senior engineering leaders scale AI adoption across the engineering org. I've spent fifteen years in the rooms where engineering leaders make hard decisions, and I'm building my own agentic systems every day. I can help you move faster because I've seen what works and I know where the pitfalls are.

From coaching to transformation.

1:1 Coaching for Engineering Leaders

You're a CTO or VP of Engineering trying to figure out the right moves for your org. We work together on your specific situation: your team, your tech stack, your constraints. I was a therapist in a previous life. I know how to listen and I know how to push.

Organizational Transformation

You need to move your entire engineering org toward agentic adoption. That means scaling pilots, deciding when to centralize vs. let teams experiment, supporting engineers through the transition, and building the measurement systems to know what's working. I help you design and execute the plan.

Workshops and Keynotes

For leadership offsites, engineering all-hands, or conferences. Topics range from "What is the agentic SDLC and why should you care?" to deep technical sessions on building multi-agent systems. I bring practitioner credibility: everything I teach, I build.

  • I am building my own multi-agent orchestrator with durable execution, configurable pipelines, and a compounding memory system. I'm not advising from the sidelines.
  • I host the O'Reilly CTO Hour and the executive summits at KubeCon. I'm in the room with the people making these decisions.
  • I'm writing the O'Reilly book on Scaling AI Adoption in Engineering, built on case studies from dozens of companies.
  • I've spent fifteen years connecting, interviewing, and learning from senior engineering leaders. I know what works at different scales because I've watched it work.

I'm just starting to share this publicly. My availability is limited and I'm selective about engagements. If you're serious about accelerating your org's AI adoption, let's talk.
