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.
