Building AI-Native Engineering Teams Without Losing Engineering Discipline

AI-native engineering is not about replacing engineers with prompts. It is about redesigning the development system so small, senior teams can use AI across planning, design, implementation, testing, review, and operations without losing control of architecture, quality, or security. This article explains how founders and technology leaders can combine Domain-Driven Design, spec-driven development, TDD, curated context, and automated guardrails to ship products in weeks rather than months while keeping the codebase maintainable and production-ready.

No Backend Needed: Running Python in React with Pyodide

A step-by-step guide to integrating Pyodide into a React + TypeScript + Vite app, loading Python packages like NumPy and Matplotlib in the browser, and generating client-side data visualizations from CSV revenue data.

Neo4j Cypher Cheat Sheet

Curious how Neo4j and Cypher stack up against traditional SQL? This post takes the classic Northwind database and reimagines it as a graph, offering a practical cheat sheet that translates common SQL queries into Cypher. Learn how graph databases simplify complex relationships, reduce the need for joins, and offer a more intuitive way to explore connected data—complete with side-by-side query comparisons and real-world use cases.

About

Who I work with

I work with organizations making important decisions across AI, AWS, security, and production readiness — especially when internal complexity is growing faster than architectural clarity.

  • Teams moving AI from experimentation into production
  • Organizations building secure, governable AI systems on AWS
  • Leaders managing architecture, security, and scale at the same time
  • Companies that need sharper technical judgment before complexity compounds
