AI IN ENGINEERING

AI isn't a slide in my deck. It's how my teams work.

The assistant above is a small example: a scoped LLM agent with rules, a knowledge base and guardrails.

01

AI-assisted development

Coding agents and copilots in the daily workflow — with review rules, not blind trust.

02

AI in delivery & management

Faster specs, estimates, retros and reporting; managers spend time on people, not paperwork.

03

LLM features in products

RAG over client data, tool-using agents, document and voice AI — shipped in client products on Claude, GPT and Gemini.

04

Team enablement

Playbooks, training and guardrails so the whole department uses AI safely.
