AI-Native Delivery

Agents are the newest production system. I run them the way I've run infrastructure for 15 years: harnessed, traced, and gated by humans.

harness > model

Models are swappable. Context, tools, and guardrails are the system — that's where the engineering goes.

trace it or don't trust it

Evals and traces are to agents what SLOs are to services. Unobserved output doesn't ship.

humans own the merge

Agents draft in parallel; engineers approve scope and merge. Same change discipline as production.

Key Projects

Enterprise Log Cost Optimization

ai-assisted

problem

Log volume and spend growing faster than the value teams got from it.

approach

Designed a logging middleware architecture adopted enterprise-wide.
Introduced log tiering: high-value logs stay hot, the rest move to cheaper storage.
Rolled out as multiple optimization waves across teams.

ai_role

Most of the analysis, design iteration, and implementation ran through AI agents on top of my architecture. I owned the design decisions and review gates.

outcome

Substantial reduction in logging spend.
