15+ years building production systems. Former Director of Engineering at Oracle, leading public cloud services and working with engineers from Microsoft, AWS, Google, Netflix. My mission: help businesses and engineers build AI systems that create real leverage. We're entering a world where AI agents do the work and humans direct. The question is which side of the gap you're on. Tool user: Prompts ChatGPT, starts from scratch every time. System builder: Has agents that research, write, and code - creating output while they sleep. Most AI content teaches you to copy paste. I teach the patterns underneath - so you can build any system, for any problem. One person with the right systems can do the work of 10. I help people become that person.
