About

I wrote software for 26 years: Python, C#, .NET, software architecture, and the CI/CD that ships it. Now I’m an AI engineer. I direct AI to write the code, and I write about what that changes.

How that happened

In 2023 I’d just spent four hours coding a solution. Curious, I gave the same requirements to ChatGPT 3.5. Thirty seconds later it produced better code, and it worked on the first try.

That was my “Oh F***” moment. AI was only going to get better, so I had two choices: embrace it or find a new profession. I chose to embrace it and learn everything I could.

What I care about

Craftsmanship, simplicity, and processes that don’t waste people’s time. I write down the AI lessons I’m learning so you can use them in your own work. If a post changes how you build or how you think about AI, it did its job.

Outside of work

I live in Folsom, California, with my wife Erin, our daughter, and our cat Mango.
