Agentic AI systems
I design and evaluate multi-agent architectures: orchestration, tool use, MCP, agent boundaries. From PoC to production.

Fractional Technical Leader
I work at the intersection of agentic AI, composable architectures, and engineering leadership. This site was generated by AI in real time — it exists only for you.
I design and evaluate multi-agent architectures: orchestration, tool use, MCP, agent boundaries. From PoC to production.
MACH, headless, API-first. I know when it makes sense and when it's overkill — and I can explain it to non-technical stakeholders.
I lead distributed teams, pick the right technical battles, and build delivery processes that hold under pressure.
I run multiple contexts in parallel by choice. The variety generates insights that a single engagement can't give you.
I support founders and CTOs on architecture decisions, stack choices, vendor evaluation, and technical hiring.
Technical and leadership talks at European conferences. Recurring themes: agentic AI, composable architectures, distributed work.
Programme Owner
I own the programme end-to-end: strategy, ecosystem, member relationships, and technical direction.
Show & Tell Lead, Agentic Ecosystem
I run the agentic ecosystem Show & Tell sessions: case selection, facilitation, and connecting vendors with practitioners.
Head of Engineering
System integrator with on-demand teams. I own delivery, technical quality, and margin health.
App Delivery Lead
Educational app for children. Architecture, tech decisions, and team leadership on AWS and Supabase.
Agentic AI is real and powerful. But most projects fail for process reasons, not technology. I always start there.
If I think you're taking the wrong approach, I'll say so. It's not rudeness — it's respect for your time and money.
I write and speak about what I'm learning, not just what I already know. Uncertainty is part of the process.
Technical work is serious enough already. No need to be serious about everything else too.
The diagram that describes how I work has an infrastructure layer at the bottom: Naples, the smart home, and a core runtime called Alex — dad and musician.
Rhythm and timing as a cognitive module. I've played for years — it's the most direct way I know to disconnect from work.
"Yes, and..." as a method. Improv has taught me more about adaptive leadership than any management book.
Narrative orchestration in practice. I run a D&D campaign for my son's group — narrative design and world building as a hobby.
The goal is JARVIS. The current state is a system that understands what you want before you ask — and sometimes it works.
Home base. Not a biographical detail — a context that shapes how I see the world.
Technical and leadership talks at European conferences. The themes I speak and write about:
