I'm an AI Architect with 18 years in software engineering. I currently lead the rollout of AI tooling and an AI-enabled SDLC at a global insurance company, and I run TrolleyRelay, a production SaaS built by one human directing AI agents through a fully gated delivery process: hundreds of PRs, more test code than product code, and every rule in the process traceable to a real incident that produced it.

My current talk and article series, "You can't install an AI-SDLC", is about what it actually takes to run AI-driven delivery accountably: quality floors, review and judgment gates, agent identity and attribution, and infrastructure that keeps agents constrained, observable, and reviewable. Nothing in it is claimed practice; it is all demonstrated, dated, and public.

Before the AI wave I spent most of my career in LegalTech and HealthTech, and co-founded Realta Logic, an Australian startup digitising regulation and making it operational, built on two decades of CSIRO research. My earlier talks sit where those threads meet: domain-specific languages, graph databases, and turning complex regulation into something visual and computable.
