Software engineer · AI research and practice

More than 12 years as a software engineer, since before AI became a trend. Most of my time now goes into researching AI and bringing it into real work: improving workflows, building harnesses for agents, trying new tools, and much more.

A quick tour of modernEngineer: who writes it, who it is for, and what the library holds.
How I work

Tinker first, then share so you can catch up faster.

When a new tool or way of working appears, I am usually the one who tries it first: install it, run it on real work, trip over it a few times before I understand it. What works becomes a guide. What breaks, I write down why.

You do not have to pay the prices I already paid. Read the road I have walked, then pick your own way.

  1. 01Try it on real workEvery piece starts from a system that runs, not from a demo built to look good.
  2. 02Record the breakageErrors, limits and the parts that had to be redone are all written down, because that is often what you need most.
  3. 03Write so you can catch upShort when possible, deep when needed. Quick videos, close reads, and a version for agents.
