AI Enablement & Engineering Transformation Leader

Hi. I make useful things.

I’m seeking a leadership role in AI enablement or engineering transformation, helping teams turn AI ambition into measurable, repeatable practice.

Helped raise agentic-coding adoption from roughly 2% to 43% of merge requests.

A few problems I’ve gotten attached to.

Bunch: free, open software for continuity across memory gaps

I built Bunch to meet a continuity need that the tools I had tried did not address: recovering working context across memory gaps. It's free and open, with the source code and data model published. The engineering problem was preserving context so the right information surfaces at the moment it matters. The accessibility problem turned out to be the same problem in a different hat.

  • Accessibility
  • Public interest
  • AI systems
  • Rapid prototyping

Bunch data model: people have pictures, hosting history, and fronting history; a return can have a catch-up with saved notes, tasks, decisions, and conversation summaries.
Bunch’s published data model. Hosting records responsibility; fronting records presence.

How I work

Builder. Owner. Evangelist. Advocate.

Four lanes, one operating system: understand the real problem, make the thing, and bring people with me.

01

Builder

I prototype quickly, learn from the real thing, and turn lived friction into software.

Bunch: building the tool I needed
02

Owner

I take responsibility for the outcome, especially when the system is complicated and the stakes are real.

Evangelist

I make new technology feel learnable, practical, and safe enough to experiment with.

Advocate

My north star is always “find ways to make people have fun at work,” because that correlates with high-performing teams.

Let’s talk about your team

Text isn’t just a medium for me. It’s an instrument I’ve spent thirty years learning to play.


Writing, editing, layout, publishing, product, and now AI.

About

A few things about me.

I’ve spent my career moving between disciplines that are usually treated as separate. That turns out to be very useful in a text-first AI world. I’m happiest where product, engineering, communication, and a slightly unreasonable amount of curiosity overlap.

  • 16+ years delivering customer-focused software solutions.AI transformation leadership, program management, agile coaching, and practical building.
  • Twenty years of published writing under several names.Novels, short fiction, poetry, essays, and the occasional live performance.
  • I care about tools that survive contact with actual humans.Accessibility, legibility, and adoption are product requirements, not garnish.
  • Unpaid work that ships.Free accessibility software and nonprofit conference operations, because the through-line has always been building for people the tools ignore.

What I’m thinking about.

AI build logs and essays about the technology, written as I go. Fiction and publishing live at The Arcades’ Lab.

Say hello

If you’ve got an inelegant problem, I’m interested.

I’m looking for work where AI, product thinking, communication, and practical building all belong in the same room.
