Now

I'm optimistic about what happens when execution gets cheap. Most of what I write is about that: agentic engineering, platform design, and leading teams through the change.1

Advisory

I advise startups and people looking for startup roles. I'm also open to angel investments. Get in touch.

Writing

We built software free as in open and got free as in beer thrown in. Grow the bazaar and get cathedrals too.
