I lead the engineering teams that take AI agents from a customer's problem to production, and I stay close to the code while they do. Most of that work is governed AI for regulated industries such as healthcare, legal and financial services, where the model drafts and software decides what actually happens.
- CTO and Partner at Pendoah since October 2023: CTO oversight across a 100-person company, and I directly lead its 20-person software and AI engineering group across onshore and offshore teams
- 30+ AI/ML systems in production, and 50+ built in the past three years
- Fractional CTO for multiple venture-stage startups, each past $1M ARR
- Formerly CIO of Perry Homes, overseeing a 45-person technology department at a homebuilder with more than 100 employees and about 2,500 contractors, through growth from $800M to $1.71B, and before that a director-level practice leader at PwC, Accenture, Credera and Hitachi Consulting

One product built on one idea: an AI agent's output is a draft, and deterministic code with a re-checkable record decides what ships.

|---|---|---|
| Heatlot | Every certificate, checked against the record. AI verification of supplier certificates of conformance and mill test reports at receiving inspection: every finding is cited to its page and line, specification rules decide, text hidden in a supplier PDF cannot change the outcome, release takes a single-use authorization, and every step is a signed receipt an auditor can replay. CLI, HTTP API, MCP server and an inspection console; synthetic data, no API key. | Research: what 356 AI system prompts write down |
CrewScore and GitPin are archived and point to Heatlot. The prompt study CrewScore made possible is published as research.
Fieldbook runs a forward-deployed engineering and solutions-architecture organization as a system of record. Each engagement is tied to the production outcome it promised, the evidence that proves it, its cost and what it left behind, with stage exit gates and a milestone ladder that will not advance without linked evidence. Vite, React 19, Hono on Node, Postgres and Drizzle. MVP; demo on request.
