lead
Project Management
Agile or traditional, all the way to rollout and training. Decades as head of development.
Developing with AI
Since 2026, AI has been a permanent development partner in all my own projects – within a fixed workflow in which every decision stays traceable.
- 1 decide
- record each architecture question as a decision, with alternatives
- 2 plan
- AI proposes, I approve – nothing happens without asking
- 3 build
- small steps, built, tested, checked against the decisions
- 4 refactor
- keep tidying the structure before legacy builds up
- 5 document
- in plain language, so knowledge doesn't vanish in the chat
