I define problems, design solutions, challenge the architecture and validate the outcome, while AI handles the implementation. Like a chef running a Michelin-star kitchen.
I founded my first company at 18 and have spent more than two decades building companies, products and technology-driven solutions across hardware, marketplaces and financial services. Today my work focuses on supervised agentic development, orchestration, validation and real-world products.
Conceive solutions and direct AI coding agents through architecture, implementation choices, validation and delivery. Agents write the code; I remain responsible for direction and outcomes. Most of this work is open source on GitHub.
Open research into human–AI decision-making: mapping consequential choices, comparing alternative solution paths, and examining the evidence behind each decision.
Designed a supervised agent orchestration system with planning, execution, approval gates, validation and recoverable workflows.
89 merged pull requests to a multi-model AI orchestrator with over 4,000 GitHub stars: agent execution supervision, retry mechanisms, failure recovery and quality gates.
Developed and adapted remote tool-execution workflows that enabled months of almost free AI-assisted work. Thank you, OpenAI, for knowing about the exploit and not closing it.
Model evaluation and benchmarking workflows; a production AI-assisted information and publishing pipeline.
