16years in software
12years as CTO
2years with AI as my main tool

I have spent sixteen years building software and twelve of them leading engineering as a CTO. I combine deep technical expertise with the experience of building a business: from system architecture and code to sales, business processes and their automation.

For the last two years AI has been my main working tool, and not only for code. I build teams of specialised AI agents. Each agent owns one area and has its own tools, long-term memory and explicit limits of authority. My team develops and operates a production real-time financial system written in Rust.

I want to bring this experience to a company that is ready to make AI its main tool in development, in operations and in management.

In development

A team of AI agents where each one owns its part of the system, with its own tools, memory and limits of authority. A routing layer decides who handles what. Standards load at the moment the work needs them, and audit findings are checked by a second agent whose job is to refute them.

In business processes

An AI assistant for an operations specialist who does not write code: a daily list of problem operations with a recommendation for each, turnover reports and capital-use audits straight from the production database, with no developer involved. A support agent drafts replies to customers, and a person chooses and sends one.

In management

Organisational memory: a knowledge base that agents read before work and extend after every failure, so knowledge survives changes of people and sessions. Every agent run is recorded, and process changes are judged by measurements, not by impression. AI recommends, a person decides.
