# The model is the engine. I build the harness around it.

*Agentic AI · advisory · coaching · training*

I'm a senior full-stack dev and tech lead. I help teams get real, reliable leverage from the AI they already pay for — by engineering the system around the model, not just the prompts. My deepest work is with developers on Claude Code. Hands-on, on your setup, in real time.

## What I actually do

Close the gap between "we have Claude Code licenses" and "our team ships measurably faster with it."

### Build the harness

Context, custom agents, skills, hooks and observability that turn a raw model into something a team can trust on real work.

### Make it reliable

Guardrails, verification, evals, model-offloading and audit trails — agentic workflows you can actually deploy and see.

### Run it without you

Loop engineering: scheduled, unattended agent runs (cron) that do real work while you're out of the loop — the harness is what makes them safe to trust.

### Teach by showing

Live work on your setup, an honest before/after, and the lessons learned the hard way — including what *not* to do.

#### Two ways I teach it

### Applied — your setup

Hands-on on your own Claude Code setup and daily workflow: build the harness, make it reliable, ship faster. For individuals and teams.

### Foundational — how LLMs work

The mental model under the tools — tokens, context windows, inference, training, what an agent really is — so your team makes sharp calls, not cargo-culted ones.

## Where do you stand?

2 minutes, 100% local. One prompt, pasted into your own Claude Code, measures how you actually operate it — and hands back a card: your level, your adoption step, your one next unlock.
