AI product and technology leader
I lead complex software and AI products from strategy to operation.
For more than 30 years, I have worked across product direction, architecture, engineering, delivery, and company leadership— especially where new technology has to become a product teams can ship, govern, and improve.

Three products from different chapters of the same career.
Enterprise AI, developer platforms, and regulated medical imaging required different technology. Each one demanded product direction, architecture, delivery, and the judgment to connect them.
Writing
Essays on AI, product judgment, and systems people can rely on.
Writing on agentic systems, governance, leadership, and the engineering discipline needed to make AI work in serious products.
Sep 1, 2026Don't Deploy Another Agent. Give It Somewhere to LiveThe agentic shift does not end software engineering. It moves repeated engineering into a governed platform where agents can be configured, operated, evaluated, and evolved as capabilities rather than separate deployments.Read the essay
Aug 31, 2026Autonomy Needs InstitutionsThe Hugging Face incident and Ethan Mollick's Twilight Factory expose the same design problem: agents need room to act, humans need meaningful authority, and the rules must remain enforceable when nobody is approving every move.Read the essaySpeaking
Practical talks about AI systems, governance, and product judgment.
I speak about the point where ambitious technology meets the realities of products, teams, controls, and delivery.
About
The tools changed. The responsibility to turn possibility into a product did not.
My career runs from early graphics and enterprise systems through medical imaging, company building, developer platforms, and agentic AI.
The longer story includes the leadership approach behind the work and the computing timeline that began with cartridges, BASIC, and the first programs I could make answer back.
