Software & Systems Architect

I design systems - and the systems that build them.

20+ years building production software for banks, retailers, and insurers. Creator of DinoStack, an open-source methodology for operating AI coding agents across nine tools.

What I work on

Less time writing code by hand. More time specifying and verifying.

As AI gets good enough to write and finish code accurately, the scarce resource stops being whether the machine can build something and becomes where the engineer points their attention.

The job shifts. That shift is what I work on.

Selected work

DinoStack

An open-source methodology for operating AI coding agents. It concentrates the operator's attention at two gates, specification and verification, and runs the work in between under a structure that keeps output thorough and trustworthy.

Build

DinoStack does the building and holds the work to your spec.

Operator

Verify

Review the output and tweak the project or task specs as needed.

DinoStack: Agentic Engineering Framework overview. Seven capabilities - classifies risk, delegates to specialists, reviews adversarially, verifies behavior, manages context, self-improving, and portable across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and more.
The methodology runs across nine AI coding tools, from Claude Code to Cursor to Codex.

Independent Review

An adversarial review loop where the agent that writes the code never reviews its own work.

Built For Scale

One methodology with 9 tool adapters, 16 named specialist agents, and 18 workflow commands.

Open Source

Apache-2.0 licensed and actively developed, with the full methodology documented at docs.dinostack.ai.

SignalBrief

One source, one document

Give it a single link and SignalBrief gathers the good information about the topic, then distills everything into one document you can keep.

SignalBrief

A companion deck

A bundled Marp workflow turns the document into a concise slide deck, so the key points are ready to present or review in minutes.

SignalBrief

Portable by design

Canonical instructions live in skills/, with lightweight adapters for Claude Code and Codex instead of duplicated implementation.
