Consulting

Practical AI adoption — for engineering teams and the people who depend on them.

I help organizations move from "we tried ChatGPT" to shipped workflows: coding agents, tool use, isolation, and measurement. Ten-plus years shipping at Fortune 100 scale; today I build and publish agent harnesses in public (Sub8, Xplor, GrokTerm, grok-bench).

For developers

Engineering teams shipping with Grok Build, Cursor, Claude Code, or internal agents.

Coding agents & harness design

Grok Build, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex — how to run them without losing the repo.

  • Supervisor/worker patterns: talk without killing in-flight jobs
  • Computer-use isolation (VM sandboxes, secrets, host boundaries)
  • MCP, ACP, tool-call loops — what to measure after post-training
  • Long-context failure modes and compaction strategy

Ship AI-native software

From prototype to something your team can maintain.

  • Browser/agent gateways (Chromium internals, CDP)
  • Terminal hosts, voice + PTY for agent workflows
  • Eval harnesses before you trust the demo
  • Security review instincts (white-hat background)

For non-developers

Leaders, product, ops, and teams who need AI workflows that survive past the pilot.

AI adoption for non-developers

Leaders, ops, product, and teams who need AI that sticks — not another pilot.

  • Pick the right tool for the job (chat vs agents vs automation)
  • Workflow design: where humans stay in the loop
  • Policy, data boundaries, and what not to paste into models
  • Training sessions that use real tasks from your org

Executive & team enablement

Cut through vendor noise. Decide what to build vs buy.

  • Honest capability map: what frontier models can do today
  • Pilot → production checklist (no fake ROI slides)
  • Vendor evaluation without the influencer tour
  • Hands-on workshops for mixed technical levels
