From Breaking Computers to Empowering AI Craftsmen
The Same Curiosity That Solves Your Developers' AI Challenges
Where code meets consciousness - hackers&wizards
At ten years old, I dismantled my father's computer piece by piece, driven by a relentless need to understand how things really work.
Twenty years later, after building systems as a developer, designing platforms as a software architect, and leading teams as a CTO, I noticed a troubling pattern: enterprise development teams were becoming less productive despite better tools, experienced developers were increasingly frustrated with their daily work, and code quality was declining even with talented engineers.
That same curiosity that drove me to understand broken computers led me to investigate what was really happening. The answer surprised me: it wasn't the developers or their skills—it was how they were being forced to interact with the new generation of AI engineering assistants.
The result? As a Context Engineering Practitioner, I help CTOs overcome developer resistance to AI assistants by transforming AI frustration into reliable productivity. Through agentic engineering practices, developers convert from AI skeptics into confident AI craftsmen who preserve programming joy while managing technical debt from generative AI through systematic AI development.
Established Expertise in AI Engineering Assistant Excellence
The Developer Challenge You Are Facing
Your experienced developers seem increasingly frustrated. Code review cycles are taking longer. Technical debt is accumulating faster than expected. Team velocity is declining despite having talented engineers.
When you investigate further, you discover the pattern: Your developers tried AI engineering assistants. Half disabled them, others create code that makes architects cringe. You're facing classic developer resistance to AI assistants while managing technical debt from generative AI—symptoms of a deeper productivity crisis affecting enterprise development teams.
Through context engineering vs prompt engineering approaches, I teach your developers systematic AI development techniques that go beyond traditional prompt engineering. Advanced context engineering practices convert developer AI frustration into reliable productivity while preventing AI-generated technical debt.
The Result
Transform developer resistance to AI assistants into AI assistant mastery. This isn't just theory, it's the validated result of applying context engineering practices to systematic AI development. Reduced cognitive load, restored programming joy, and sustainable developer productivity.

Guiding Values for Developer Empowerment
These values inform every engagement, from discovery conversations to AI excellence programs:
-
Authenticity
"We write code, we scale teams, we know the pain firsthand"
Software engineers and architects first, consultants second. Every solution comes from real experience building and maintaining systems, not theoretical frameworks.
-
Empowerment
"We enable teams to succeed without us"
Focus on internal capability development rather than creating dependency. Every engagement transfers knowledge and skills so teams can continue improving and solving problems independently long after we're gone.
-
Excellence
"We prioritize quality because it delivers sustainable speed"
Long-term developer productivity stems from excellent engineering practices that reduce cognitive overhead and preserve programming satisfaction. Clean code, solid architecture, and proper tooling aren't obstacles to speed - they're what makes true efficiency possible.
-
Humility
"We bring experience, but every situation teaches us something new"
Framework each engagement acknowledging our experience is valuable yet incomplete. Every team, challenge, and context offers fresh insights that make us better mentors and engineers.
