My current focus is Agentic AI: how software can act, where it needs boundaries, and how to tell whether it works. I write about the decisions behind the systems.
Model selection comes up too early in most agent design reviews. Before choosing a provider, label every step in the production path with what it is actually allowed to do.

Assistant, workflow, agent is not a maturity model. Each is a different trade-off between predictability and adaptability, and the architectural question is where a process genuinely requires judgment.
Read insight
Most conversations about Agentic AI start with the model. From a solution architect's point of view, that is the wrong starting point. The unit of design is the loop the model sits inside.

Notes from people I've built and delivered with.
