Now
Last updated: 8 July 2026
Right now I'm on a sabbatical, and I'm spending it going deep on applied AI — not the hype, the practice. What it's actually like to build with it, live with it, and point it at your own life instead of a pitch deck. I'm writing as I go — the log's below.
The NoCode CTO
I still run The NoCode CTO — senior technical judgement for founders and leadership teams who need a CTO's read without a CTO's salary. Strategy, product, and the honest "should you actually build that?" conversation.
AI Sabbatical
The running log of the sabbatical: what I'm learning about applied AI by using it on my own life, the prototypes I'm building, the things I've torn out and rebuilt, and where I think this is all heading. New posts as they land.
