Unguided AI is a tech-debt multiplier.

AI refactoring is additive by nature. Point an agent at a codebase whose internal logic is already compromised and it will faithfully extend the flaws — producing more code, more surface area, and more debt than any team can review at the speed it arrives.

The answer is not better prompts. It is delegation architecture: deciding what agents own, what humans own, and where the seam between them is enforced. Duplicative and shared coding work moves to agentic tools. Human attention moves up, to architecture, review, and closer conversation with the business groups the software serves.

That shift is what I am hired to design and to run alongside your team.

  1. Engagement 01

    Agentic Readiness Assessment

    An audit of your codebase, CI, and workflow that returns a delegation map: what agents should own, what they must not touch, and where the guardrails belong.

    Who it is for
    Teams about to adopt AI coding tools, or already using them without a shared standard.
    Typical duration
    2–3 weeks

    What you get

    • A written delegation map covering application code, data pipelines, and CI delivery
    • A ranked list of the work most safely handed to agents first, and why
    • Guardrail specification: review gates, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and stop conditions
    • Token and context-window budget for the workloads proposed
  2. Engagement 02

    Guided Pilot

    One genuine modernization or feature, run end to end through an agentic workflow alongside your engineers.

    Who it is for
    Teams that have the tools and want one real result before committing the organization.
    Typical duration
    4–8 weeks

    What you get

    • Project configuration your team keeps: CLAUDE.md, custom skills, subagents, and headless CI-integrated runs
    • A shipped piece of real work, reviewed to your standards
    • A code review protocol for AI-generated changes
    • A retrospective with measured cost and cycle-time results
  3. Engagement 03

    Embedded Technical Lead

    Fractional leadership — architecture, code review, and continuous enablement while your team's practice matures.

    Who it is for
    Teams that need senior architectural judgment without a full-time hire.
    Typical duration
    Ongoing, part-time

    What you get

    • Front-end and full-stack architecture ownership
    • Code review across both human and agent contributions
    • Mentoring, technical evaluation, and hiring support
    • Legacy modernization planning and execution

Start with a conversation, not a contract.

Tell me the shape of your codebase and what your team is trying to do with AI. If an engagement is not the right answer, I will say so.
