From Coder to FDE: Building AI Systems That Ship

I help teams move from AI pilots to governed, production-grade agentic systems — through live programs and hands-on advisory.

Three decades across Europe, the US, and Brazil taught me one lesson: AI value is won in execution — clear scope, reliable multi-agent workflows, and governance that survives production.

I teach that discipline on Maven (Become an Agentic Architect, live workshops, Lightning Lessons, resources) through my AI-Assisted Multi Agent Development (AAMAD) Framework. I also work as a Fractional Chief AI Officer with teams that need embedded judgment, not generic advice — plus O’Reilly live sessions and Pearson certification-aligned programs.
