Senior Delivery Manager · AI Adoption and Applied AI
15 years of software engineering · 4+ years of international delivery
I spent fifteen years writing software for enterprise platforms, then moved to the other side of the table: today I run international technical programmes, with budgets, suppliers and demanding clients. Alongside my job, I am designing and building a multiplatform game, still ongoing, by directing a team of AI agents as if they were suppliers. I bridge the people who build, the people who decide and the people who pay.
Career
From code to delivery
Nearly twenty years in one line: first analysis and code, then leading teams on a SaaS platform, then programmes with budgets and clients across eight countries. Since May 2026, a product of my own on top.

What I'm doing now · since May 2026, ongoing
Street University: a real product, being built with AI agents
Alongside my job I am the technical owner and PM of a cartoonish online multiplayer game (Godot 4), in closed beta on Google Play and TestFlight. The code is written by AI agents I direct as suppliers: tickets, closed briefs, testing kept separate from building, and an approval gate on every batch. The game is the use case; the result is a measured way of delivering software with AI.
- Backlog, sprints and releases: every batch starts from a closed brief and ends with a changelog and a test log.
- A team managed like suppliers: four Claude agents with distinct roles (architect, builder, tester, utility) and OpenAI Codex as a second supplier.
- One-command release pipeline, from merge to both stores, with automatic guards and human approval gates.
- Costs run like a P&L: the token budget is read before spending, reported per sprint and frozen at 90%; the rules saved about 4 million tokens in two weeks.
- 80 beta testers on two stores: onboarding, session telemetry and an incident loop on Jira; reports and player interviews turned into tickets, with triage and priority per release.
How the work flows
I decide. A first AI session splits the work into batches, two rosters of agents build them, and every batch passes a gate before it comes back to me.
Side projects
Hands on the tools
A course for people who don't code
How to work with an agentic assistant: from chat to agent, context and memory, the brief, skills and commands, agents and orchestration, external tools, the cycle and its gates, what to do when it goes wrong.
8modulesLab at home
Large language models running locally (LM Studio, 30B models), and a home automation setup on Home Assistant, MQTT and Zigbee2MQTT. Where I try things out before I recommend them.
