In plain language.

I speak about what AI and small-team engineering actually do to a business, in the same register I use with clients. No slideware, no future-of-work fortune telling.

01

From hype to implementation

An AI operationalisation playbook for founders and SMEs. What actually changes in a business when AI stops being a demo, and which parts of it are still a science project.

From idea to live product

The spec-to-ship playbook, as a masterclass. How a written specification becomes something running in production, and where most attempts stall.
