AI-first engineering

01
Agentic Development
Use capable agents to move faster with repeatable quality.
Agents carry the mechanical work — scaffolding, refactors, test passes, review sweeps — while the engineering judgment stays with me.
- Copilot
- Codex
- Claude

02
Spec-Driven Development
Capture domain knowledge in specifications that guide implementation and review.
Decisions live in a reviewable specification rather than in a thread, so the work and the review are checked against the same source.
- OpenSpec
- Spec Kit

03
Automated Delivery
Make build, test, and deployment repeatable.
Build, test, container, and infrastructure steps run the same way on a laptop as in CI, so releasing is routine rather than an event.
- GitHub Actions
- Concourse
- Docker
- Terraform

- Azure
- GCP
- Containers
- Serverless
- Event Driven

Agentic User Experiences
Agents that understand users, use trusted tools, and take useful action.

- MCP
- Identity
- Context
- Tool Calling

Open source
Platform tooling built as part of my work at Comcast and released publicly under Apache-2.0, so the same project generation and delivery tooling is available to anyone.
OpenPlate
Apache-2.0Generates a project from composed templates and keeps it updatable, so later changes reach a project without overwriting the team's own code.
github.com/Comcast/OpenPlateOpenCICD
Apache-2.0Runs a project's own build, test, and release actions inside containers, so a step behaves the same on a laptop as it does in hosted CI/CD.
