Over the past 20 years, I've scaled distributed platforms at eMAG, i6 Group, and Printify. Today, I architect spec-driven agentic development environments, machine-readable architecture systems, and production AI products that turn engineering organizations into high-velocity multipliers.
From high-traffic e-commerce monoliths to cloud-native microservices & AI pipelines
Led architecture and reliability governance across 10+ engineering teams at Printify
Cut enterprise airport onboarding time at i6 Group through platform architecture
Maintaining the industry's opinionated Wardley Map of AI engineering practices
Giving 50 engineers an LLM coding assistant without architectural guardrails doesn't produce 10x velocity: it produces 10x technical debt.
As code generation becomes a commodity, the bottleneck in software engineering has inverted: from code-first to requirements- and specification-first.
For AI agents and human teams to collaborate safely at enterprise scale, your architecture cannot live in outdated Confluence pages. It must be explicit, modular, and machine-readable: enforced through structured specifications, domain boundaries, automated hooks, and property-based verification.
I don't build prompt demos. I architect governed systems that ship to production.
An interactive, continuously updated Wardley Map tracking 60 AI engineering tools, agent frameworks, and development practices from Genesis to Commodity. Built to help CTOs decide what to adopt, what to wait on, and what is already commoditized.
Wardley Mapping · AI Strategy · Eval-Driven Dev · Agent Infrastructure
Architected an AI-native software delivery environment for a 25-engineer organization. Replaced ad-hoc prompting with multi-agent orchestration across requirements generation, system design specs, code generation, and automated testing: governed by steering files and MCP integrations.
AWS Kiro · Amazon Bedrock · MCP · NestJS · Angular · Spec-Driven Dev
Led cross-organizational architecture across 10+ teams during a critical merger initiative. Designed machine-readable domain canvases and automated pipelines that decompose RFCs and ADRs into bounded architectural changes: improving reliability and lifting marketplace GMV.
DDD · Event-Driven Architecture · AWS · TypeScript · SLO Governance
Built two end-to-end AI platforms from scratch:
Gemini · GPT-4o · Qdrant Vector DB · NestJS · Pulumi IaC
Tell me what you're building: stack, roadmap, and where it hurts. No slide deck needed.
Deep dive into your systems, specs, and AI adoption: against real code, not templates.
A written, sequenced plan: architecture, reliability, and governed agentic delivery.
90 minutes with your leadership team: decisions you can act on the same week.
For CTOs, VPs of Engineering & founders. Move your engineering organization from scattered AI experiments to governed, repeatable velocity, or untangle the distributed systems bottlenecks holding back your roadmap.
2-week fixed-scope audit · fractional principal architect retainers
For senior, staff & principal engineers. AI is rapidly commoditizing pure code execution: move up the value chain into systems architecture, staff/principal influence, and AI-native technical leadership.
90-min diagnostic session · quarterly mentorship track
Essays on spec-driven AI engineering, distributed systems, and technical strategy.
I started writing production code in 2005, as a web developer in PHP and JavaScript, then embedded C at Intel, and later led the monolith-to-microservices transformation and ML product matching at eMAG, built aviation platforms and led SOC2 at i6 Group, and served as Principal Engineer at Printify. Architecture only matters if it improves business outcomes and human leverage.
