What I do
Consulting
Full technical ownership: architecture, implementation, deployment, and accountability. End to end.
Corporate Training
Structured learning programs built around your team's actual stack, level, and real challenges.

What I have built solo
RuntimeIQ
runtimeiq.dev ↗
A diagnostics and observability platform for IIS-hosted ASP.NET Core applications. Designed, built, launched, and maintained independently.
The True Code
thetruecode.com ↗
A technical blog on architecture, production systems, AI, and software engineering.
Type 'the true code' on Google and you will find it in the top 3.
Live tools
tools.thetruecode.com ↗
A collection of tools built and deployed independently. Live in production.
A selection of training programs delivered
End-to-end software delivery
Covered the full delivery lifecycle: architecture, development, CI/CD with Azure DevOps, deployment to Azure, observability with Datadog, and user analytics with Mixpanel and Google Analytics. Cloudflare for DNS, security, and performance.
RAG and MCP in practice
Hands-on program covering retrieval-augmented generation from the ground up and Model Context Protocol integrations. Teams built working RAG pipelines and MCP-connected tools during the sessions.
Building with Claude
Practical program on integrating Claude into software products. Covered the API, prompt design, tool use, agentic workflows, and real-world patterns for engineering teams building AI-powered features.
System design and architecture
Practical system design for teams who need to make real architectural decisions without a dedicated architect. Covered distributed systems thinking, scalability trade-offs, API design, and how to make and document technical decisions with confidence.
Practical AI engineering for software teams
A ground-up program covering how modern AI systems are built: models, APIs, embeddings, vector databases, and prompt design. Progressed into agentic systems, tool use, and multi-step autonomous workflows. Teams left with working implementations, not just concepts.
