About

I ship production code with AI coding agents. Every day. Codex, Claude Code. Not experimenting with them. Building real systems. VP Engineering at KnackLabs. LangChain Ambassador. MCP contributor. My process is spec-driven development. Write the spec, decompose into agent tasks, let coding agents build, review and merge. My team runs parallel Codex agents on separate branches with CI gates catching what humans miss. What I write about here: → Coding with AI agents in real workflows → Multi-agent orchestration and quality gates → MCP integrations and AI voice agents → Making agentic coding actually work in teams
