Trees take time.
AI slop doesn't.

I've been reviewing code for 15 years, and lately something has changed. I keep seeing the same pattern — codebases that look fine on the surface but fall apart the moment you ask "why was this decision made?" Nobody knows. The AI wrote it, someone rubber-stamped it, and now it's in production.

I run a 50-engineer agency. I build my own products. I use AI every single day. The problem isn't AI — the problem is that nobody's taking ownership of what it produces.

Is this you?

  • You paid a dev agency or freelancers good money and the product feels… fragile. Things break in ways nobody can explain, and when you ask, you get vague answers.

  • Your team adopted AI tools and suddenly everyone's shipping faster — but the code reviews feel like they're just rubber-stamping whatever Copilot generated.

  • You're a non-technical founder and you genuinely have no idea if what you paid for is any good. You just know something feels off.

  • You're a CTO and you know AI slop is creeping into your codebase, but you don't have a framework for how to use AI responsibly without killing velocity.

How it works

Two phases. First we find out what you have. Then we build it right.

Phase 1: The Audit

Find out what you actually have

  • I go through your codebase, your processes, how your team actually uses AI day-to-day
  • I tell you honestly what's solid and what's a house of cards — no sugarcoating
  • You get a written report with specific findings, how bad each one is, and what to do about it

Phase 2: The Strategy

Now we fix it and set you up for the long run

  • We figure out where AI actually helps your team and where it's creating more problems than it solves
  • I help you build processes that keep humans accountable for every piece of code that ships
  • If you need ongoing help, this can turn into a Fractional CTO engagement

The last startup I worked on, I spent 10 years at. I've been solving technical challenges for 15 years across banking, hospitality, e-commerce, and more. I use AI every day — I know what good AI-augmented work looks like, and I know what slop looks like, because I see both constantly.
