Lead Data & AI Engineer

About Me
#

I work on data and AI platforms. These days that means a lot of Snowflake, dbt and Python, and building AI systems that end up making real decisions in production rather than staying in a notebook.

Before that, about ten years of full-stack development, mostly Go and PHP. It’s probably why I care about the unglamorous parts: what breaks at 3am, what a colleague will have to maintain after me, and whether the thing actually works outside the demo.

Outside work there’s a homelab that got out of hand, a CNC I’m slowly learning to use, and a few side projects in Rust. Some of it ends up on this blog.

2026 is the agentic hour. We barely write the code anymore. We say what we want, a model writes it, we reread, we rerun. That is not a reason to drop good practice.

You have to dictate it.
