technical clarity, by design

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.

How I think

Anti-hype by principle

Agentic AI is real and powerful. But most projects fail for process reasons, not technology. I always start there.

Honest opinions

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.

Learning in public

I write and speak about what I'm learning, not just what I already know. Uncertainty is part of the process.

Dry humour

Technical work is serious enough already. No need to be serious about everything else too.

Where I am

Agentic Commerce Alliance

Programme Owner

I own the programme end-to-end: strategy, ecosystem, member relationships, and technical direction.

MACH Alliance

Show & Tell Lead, Agentic Ecosystem

I run the agentic ecosystem Show & Tell sessions: case selection, facilitation, and connecting vendors with practitioners.

Fortivex

Head of Engineering

System integrator with on-demand teams. I own delivery, technical quality, and margin health.

Unomundi

App Delivery Lead

Educational app for children. Architecture, tech decisions, and team leadership on AWS and Supabase.

What I do

Agentic AI systems

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

Composable architecture

MACH, headless, API-first. I know when it makes sense and when it's overkill — and I can explain it to non-technical stakeholders.

Engineering leadership

I lead distributed teams, pick the right technical battles, and build delivery processes that hold under pressure.

Fractional model

I run multiple contexts in parallel by choice. The variety generates insights that a single engagement can't give you.

Technical advisor

I support founders and CTOs on architecture decisions, stack choices, vendor evaluation, and technical hiring.

Public speaking

Technical and leadership talks at European conferences. Recurring themes: agentic AI, composable architectures, distributed work.

Beyond work

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.

Drums

Rhythm and timing as a cognitive module. I've played for years — it's the most direct way I know to disconnect from work.

Improv theatre

"Yes, and..." as a method. Improv has taught me more about adaptive leadership than any management book.

Dungeon Master

Narrative orchestration in practice. I run a D&D campaign for my son's group — narrative design and world building as a hobby.

Smart home

The goal is JARVIS. The current state is a system that understands what you want before you ask — and sometimes it works.

Naples

Home base. Not a biographical detail — a context that shapes how I see the world.

Talks & writing

Technical and leadership talks at European conferences. The themes I speak and write about:

  • Agentic AI
  • Composable architecture
  • Engineering leadership
  • The fractional model
  • Build vs buy vs vibe coding
  • Distributed teams
