# Consulting

Practical AI adoption — for engineering teams and the people who depend on them.

I help organizations move from "we tried ChatGPT" to shipped workflows: coding agents, tool use, isolation, and measurement. Ten-plus years shipping at Fortune 100 scale; today I build and publish agent harnesses in public (Sub8, Xplor, GrokTerm, grok-bench).

 - Fortune 100 platforms · 10M+ customers
- SpaceXAI Grokathon 2026 · 3rd + Most Users
- DoD DC3 VDP Researcher of the Month · March 2026
- 144 public repos · agent tools shipped in production

## For developers

Engineering teams shipping with Grok Build, Cursor, Claude Code, or internal agents.

### Coding agents & harness design

Grok Build, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex — how to run them without losing the repo.

 - Supervisor/worker patterns: talk without killing in-flight jobs
- Computer-use isolation (VM sandboxes, secrets, host boundaries)
- MCP, ACP, tool-call loops — what to measure after post-training
- Long-context failure modes and compaction strategy

### Ship AI-native software

From prototype to something your team can maintain.

 - Browser/agent gateways (Chromium internals, CDP)
- Terminal hosts, voice + PTY for agent workflows
- Eval harnesses before you trust the demo
- Security review instincts (white-hat background)

## For non-developers

Leaders, product, ops, and teams who need AI workflows that survive past the pilot.

### AI adoption for non-developers

Leaders, ops, product, and teams who need AI that sticks — not another pilot.

 - Pick the right tool for the job (chat vs agents vs automation)
- Workflow design: where humans stay in the loop
- Policy, data boundaries, and what not to paste into models
- Training sessions that use real tasks from your org

### Executive & team enablement

Cut through vendor noise. Decide what to build vs buy.

 - Honest capability map: what frontier models can do today
- Pilot → production checklist (no fake ROI slides)
- Vendor evaluation without the influencer tour
- Hands-on workshops for mixed technical levels

## How we can work together

### Discovery call

  30 min

Scope fit, your stack, and whether I can help. No pitch deck.

### Workshop

  Half or full day

Hands-on for devs or mixed teams. Your repos, your tools, your constraints.

### Advisory

  Ongoing

Architecture reviews, harness design, eval strategy — async + calls.

### Implementation sprint

  1–4 weeks

Ship a concrete slice: sandbox, gateway, agent workflow, or internal tool.
