Where I can help

I work on software delivery, reliable operations, and the processes teams use to manage their work. In each case, we start with the work itself and explore where AI can make a useful difference.

01

Software engineering

AI can help teams produce code faster. I work on the wider process: turning an idea into software that has been reviewed, tested, and put to use.

Where we might start: Code review cannot keep pace with generated code; requirements lose meaning between steps; a small number of people carry too much of the context.
02

Observability & reliability

I work on how teams use operational information to investigate problems, decide what to do, and act safely, including where AI can help.

Where we might start: Incident investigation depends on scattered information; knowledge sits with a few specialists; the team wants to use AI but needs clear limits on its actions.
03

Management workflows

I work on how information reaches the people who need it, how decisions are prepared, and how teams follow through. AI can support that work when the process and responsibilities are clear.

Where we might start: Reports take too much manual effort; decisions lose their context; commitments are scattered across meetings and tools.

What would you like to explore?

Tell me what your team is working on, where things get difficult, or what you would like to explore with AI. I'll respond personally.
