Software Engineer at Microsoft
I build agentic development workflows and AI-powered systems at GitHub. By day, I help shape how developers work with AI coding agents. By night, I run my entire family's life through an autonomous agent mesh — and write about everything I learn along the way.
Building at the intersection of AI and developer experience
Agentic Development
Designing agent architectures, governance frameworks, and context engineering patterns that let AI agents ship production code safely.

Hands-on agentic development consulting for teams adopting AI coding agents. From architecture reviews to full workflow design and implementation.
Work With Me →AI agents should be governed collaborators, not black boxes
The teams that win with AI aren't the ones running the most agents — they're the ones who've built the best systems around them. Trust comes from structure, not hope.
Agents Should Be Governed Collaborators
AI agents aren't magic — they're software. They deserve the same rigor we give any system: tests, guardrails, observability, and clear boundaries. Build trust through governance, not faith.
Context Is the New Code
The quality of what AI produces is a direct function of the context you give it. Great instructions, great architecture, great test suites — that's the real competitive advantage.
Ship It, Then Iterate
Working software over perfect abstractions. The best way to learn what works is to put it in front of people. Every day I ship something — an article, a feature, a workflow improvement.
Transparency Over Black Boxes
Every agent decision should be traceable. Every workflow should be auditable. I build in the open and write about what actually works — not what sounds impressive.
Father, husband, builder
I'm a Software Engineer at Microsoft working in the GitHub organization. My background is in cloud architecture, DevOps, and full-stack development — but these days, I spend most of my energy on agentic workflows: how to make AI agents productive, safe, and useful at scale.
I created htek.dev as a platform for developers who are figuring out AI-assisted workflows alongside me. Not theory — real, practical patterns I use every day. 70+ articles and counting.
The most ambitious thing I've built isn't at work — it's at home. I run my entire family's life through an autonomous agent mesh: meal planning, budget tracking, childcare logistics, home maintenance, health coordination, content scheduling. Over 30 specialized agents that communicate with each other, create tasks, send notifications, and make decisions — all governed by a family constitution that ensures nothing important falls through the cracks.
It sounds excessive until you realize it's the same principle as production infrastructure: observability, governance, and clear ownership boundaries. It works because the agents are collaborators, not black boxes.
Let's build something together
I help teams and businesses adopt agentic development workflows, build AI-powered products, and ship faster with modern tooling.
