AI Engineering
Multi-agent orchestration under engineering controls. I build the platforms that make engineers faster — then measure whether they actually did.

Free guideBuild It YourselfA founder's guide to coding with AIContainerised, security-hardened development environments; AST-based code intelligence with incremental, content-hash-keyed indexing; hybrid semantic search; and multi-agent pipelines that plan, build, review and iterate under real engineering controls.
Two things, deliberately separate. Hands-on training that takes engineering teams from AI-assisted development to full multi-agent orchestration, run against their own repositories — and the installable that makes it stick: a hardened agent sandbox and a codebase-semantics layer committed into their own repos.
Teams whose customers are other engineers: development loops, CI/CD, build and release. Happy engineers, faster iteration, safer releases — measured, not asserted.
Every productivity claim is a hypothesis. I A/B benchmark agent tooling on real production tickets against human ground truth — measuring cost, correctness and coverage — and I have shipped, redesigned and killed features on that evidence, including publishing results that contradicted my own initial claims.
That discipline is the product. Anyone can demo an agent; the work is knowing which parts survive contact with a real codebase, and being willing to say so when they don't.
Build It Yourself
A founder's guide to coding with AI
Written for a non-technical founder shipping their first web app with Claude Code or Cursor — from the mental model of how AI coding actually works, through prompting, spec-driven building and debugging, to deploying, privacy law and the shortcuts that come due at scale.
ProcuraconCurrent
First engineering hire
Inherited an existing codebase and accelerated delivery by building an AI-forward development platform around it: hardened containerised environments, AST code intelligence and multi-agent delivery pipelines.
OrchLabCurrent
Principal Advisor
AI engineering consultancy moving teams up the agentic maturity curve — from chat and copilot, through spec-driven development, to Level 4 orchestration where engineers coordinate specialised agents to plan, design, build, test and deploy at scale.
