Help Engineering Teams Thrive with AI | Agentic Engineering Advocate with 20+ Years CTO/Architect | Speaker with 40+ Conference Talks

Faster Delivery. Better Code. Fulfilled Teams. - hackers&wizards

Driven by relentless curiosity, I dismantled my father's computer piece by piece when I was ten. Twenty years later, after working as a developer, software architect, and CTO, I found that engineering teams were fracturing under scattered AI adoption. Senior developers refused to touch AI, calling it "not real engineering." Early adopters worked in isolation creating code nobody else could maintain.

As founder of hackers&wizards, I help engineering leaders transform AI chaos into systematic practices that work. Using context engineering foundations instead of prompt engineering tricks enables teams to move from individual tool experiments to coordinated practices. Your skeptics become advocates. Your velocity genuinely increases. Your developers love building with AI.

My enterprise experience spans OTTO, Breuninger, and BLUME 2000, where I led 70+ developers and generated significant revenue impact through technical excellence. Today I focus on helping engineering teams evolve from writing code to guarding its health. I'm also a founding member of Hacker School and active in developer empowerment.

  • I work with: Context Engineering, Agentic Practices and Team Transformation
  • I'm building: The hackers&wizards Community for senior developers
  • Ignited: 30+ Teams, 15+ Elevated
  • ping me about context engineering, agentic practices, developer AI resistance, enterprise AI adoption
