Writing about AI architecture, technical leadership, and what I learn from building autonomous systems.
88% of AI agent pilots never reach production. The missing piece isn't better models — it's evaluation. Here's the three-layer eval pipeline I build for every agent system before it ships.
MCP hit 97 million monthly SDK downloads, but most enterprise deployments break in the same 3 places. Here's the production checklist I use after deploying it across healthcare, fintech, and SaaS.
After managing 50+ remote projects across US, UK, India, and Australia, here's what actually works for distributed Scrum teams — and what ceremony theater to skip.
After building both RAG pipelines and fine-tuned models in production, here's the decision framework I use with clients. The answer is usually RAG — but not always.
The architectural pattern that makes autonomous AI systems safe for production: confidence scoring and blast-radius analysis before every agent action.
The architecture decisions behind a 40-module autonomous platform that plans, builds, tests, ships, and handles compliance — built by one architect with modern AI tooling.
A fractional CTO isn't a consultant, an advisor, or a part-time employee. After 50+ engagements, here's when the model works — and the 3 situations where it doesn't.
87% of AI projects never make it to production. After leading 50+ AI engagements, here are the 5 reasons they fail — and none of them are technical.
