For the past 18 months, I have been singularly focused on the AI transformation of software engineering — not as a side interest, but as a full professional pivot. I have immersed myself in LLM capabilities, agentic architectures, prompt engineering, MCP integrations, multi-model orchestration, and AI-native development workflows. I've shipped AI-first policies and tooling in production, built open-source developer tools for the AI ecosystem, and published practitioner-level writing on what AI-native engineering actually looks like when it's not a demo. 28 years of systems thinking didn't become obsolete — it became the foundation.
