Now · July 2026

A snapshot of what I’m up to right now.

Inspired by Derek Sivers’ /now convention. More honest than a bio, less curated than a CV.

Working on

  • Primary focus: founding a stealth-mode start-up. Building for engineering leaders navigating AI-native delivery. More soon.
  • Running two live products through Cordage & Co Ltd: Ingrain and World Wide Pride Guide, on the AI-native delivery workflows I’m packaging into an engagement for other software teams. What I ship there turns straight into how I work with clients here.
  • Working with a handful of fractional CTO, advisory, and mentoring clients around the start-up, capped intentionally low so the day job stays the day job.

Learning

  • Where AI-assisted development actually earns its keep vs. where it just makes plausible-looking mess faster.
  • Product design without a designer: designing product surfaces well enough to ship them alone.

Reading

  • Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman.
  • Click, Jake Knapp.
  • Leadership is Language, L. David Marquet.

Talking to

Open to a conversation if you’re a founder, CTO or head of engineering thinking about advisory or fractional help, or an engineer who wants to work through something in a mentoring session.
