Writing

Field notes and essays about building technology organizations and consumer platforms—written from the decisions, constraints and consequences of operating them.

Purpose

Writing from operating experience

This is where I make the reasoning behind the work explicit: how AI changes the shape of engineering, why some business capabilities deserve to be built, and what it takes to modernize a platform while customers are still using it.

I am interested in specific choices and falsifiable claims. The useful material is not that a technology is transformative; it is where the bottleneck moves, which control becomes more important and what a leader should do differently on Monday morning.

Themes

What I write about

AI-native delivery

Specifications as execution interfaces, parallel agent work, review constraints and the human ownership that production systems still require.

Platforms and modernization

Strangler migrations, data foundations, native products and the organizational sequencing needed to replace critical systems safely.

Product and operating leverage

Build-versus-buy decisions, internal SaaS, e-commerce infrastructure and the product capabilities that define a company’s economics and customer experience.
