Live02 — The EngineRoots in scripted AI, long before generative AI
Platform professionals will carry their own agentic SDLC.
The advanced offering of a modern product leader isn't a résumé of past projects, it's a system. A personal, portable software development lifecycle, run by a coordinated team of AI agents, that the individual owns, improves, and carries everywhere.
I've been building mine since the scripted-AI era, long before generative AI, so by the time the rest of the world arrived, I was already years ahead. It takes a raw idea and carries it the whole distance, to a deployed, global platform, with the discipline, review, and testing that keep the code genuinely good at every step. It was ready before the organizations were; when Grant Thornton matured enough to use it, I bolted it on, improved their system from the inside, and kept refining. No matter where I go, I always have my agentic SDLC, and it compounds.

What makes it different
01
Spec-first, always
Every change runs a full OpenSpec lifecycle: proposal, design, specs, tasks, implement, document. Intent is written down and agreed before a line of code exists. Nothing ships on a vibe.
02
An org, not a bot
Not one chatbot: a coordinated team of specialized agents, 26 templates deep across planning and execution, working under an orchestrator with domain routing.
03
Adversarial quality
Five validation layers and five testing tiers, including 'defeat' tests written to break the code, and real-browser verification where screenshots are read back and checked with actual eyes.
04
Full operator control
Agents propose the work; I approve what ships. Every run stays visible end-to-end, and security and quality gates are built into the pipeline itself, not bolted on after the fact.
05
Self-improving
Persistent memory and pattern-hunting mean the system learns from every build and catches its own repeat mistakes. It gets measurably better the longer it runs.
06
Portable & owned
Entirely mine, built over years. It bolts onto whatever organization I join and improves their system from the inside, and it learns and grows as I do, sharpened by an obsessive habit of learning something new every day.
