Speaking
Talks on building software, engineering leadership, and making AI work in practice.
Owning the factory
Why engineers need to shape the systems that write their code
madewithlove · Internal talk · 7 October 2026
As AI takes on more of software delivery, engineers have a new system to shape: the one doing the work. Through our experiments at madewithlove, we explore what it means to take ownership of that system. And why building the factory is becoming part of the job.
Building the AI Agent Harness
Xebia's Spring AI Jam · 20 April 2026
A year ago, we were vibe coding; today, most engineers are at agentic engineering. The next step is building the harness: the system of skills, hooks, and conventions that makes agents reliable without micromanaging every step.
A taste of how I think
Short videos on the ideas I talk about: working with agents, building trust, and learning when to get out of their way.
