Speaking
Meetups, panels, and internal sessions on shipping with AI, without the slop.
I talk about zero-to-one product, agents in production, and why users can feel when you stopped editing. Tell me the room, the date, and how long you want.
Contact. Audience, date, length, city or remote. I reply to most things within a few days.
Not sales keynotes, and not “the future of AI” with no product in it.
