The Force Multiplier
In the modern software landscape, the bottleneck isn't writing code—it's defining the right problem.
With over 15 years of architectural experience, I bridge the gap between abstract business intent and production-grade software. I don't just contribute to the backlog; I operate as a force multiplier.
By combining seasoned engineering judgement with advanced AI agent orchestration, I deliver complex, scalable platforms at a pace that typically requires a team of 5–10 developers. I manage a fleet of synthetic workers to accelerate the delivery pipeline, ensuring that velocity never comes at the cost of stability or security.
Deep Roots, Modern Execution
- Architectural Rigour15+ years of experience means I know what to build. I translate vague requirements into rigorous specifications that agents can execute flawlessly.
- AI OrchestrationI don't just code; I direct. I utilise AI as a lever to break through the ceiling of individual human output.
- Lead ExperienceWhether leading humans or agents, I bring order to chaos. I have extensive experience coordinating teams, refining Agile processes, and mentoring developers.
