Background

Where I spend my time.

Still writing code, still teaching, and still turning up to argue about it on stage.

AI educator

Teaching engineers to use AI well on real software, not demos — where design thinking, code quality, and a bit of discipline still decide the outcome.

How I teach

Tech coach

Working alongside teams on TDD, BDD, refactoring, and continuous delivery — improving how they build rather than handing over a report on it.

How coaching works

Published author

Three books on TDD and AI-assisted coding, including Test-First Copilot, plus two published papers on agentic refactoring and AI-assisted delivery.

Books and papers

SaaS entrepreneur

Cofounder of Ampyard, where we build and ship our own products. It keeps the advice honest — I run into the same problems you do.
