I lead a Cloud FinOps practice at an IT services firm, where I have spent 20 years shipping enterprise software that has to survive governance, security, and real budgets. Nights and weekends I run GenAI Unplugged, where I build AI products and systems in public and teach non-technical founders and creators to build real systems, not just use AI. I live on both sides of the AI conversation: the enterprise world that asks “will this survive production?” and the solo world that asks “can I ship it this weekend?”
