Building

Websites, apps & AI tools — shipped

Real, working software in your users’ hands. Designed mobile-first, accessible by default, and fast to launch — the same way I build my own products in the open.

Marketing sites & landing pages

Fast, accessible, mobile-first sites that load quickly and convert — from a single landing page to a full multi-page site with a working contact form.

Web & mobile applications

Product features and full apps — dashboards, portals, and customer-facing tools, built on a modern stack and designed around real user flows.

AI tools, agents & automations

Agents, automations, and AI-assisted workflows that do useful work reliably — with the guardrails and verification to know they’re actually working.

Dashboards & data products

Turning data into something people can read and trust — clear reporting, risk views, and decision-support tools that earn their place.

AI, done honestly

Where AI actually helps — and how to make it reliable

I’m not here to sell you a chatbot you don’t need. I build with AI agents every day — shipping AI-powered tools in the open and writing about what works. What I bring is judgment about where AI genuinely earns its place, and the engineering discipline to make it trustworthy, not just impressive in a demo.

Context engineering · signature

The real bottleneck in AI work isn’t the model — it’s the context around it. Getting the right information, memory, and structure to the agent (and to the humans steering it) is what separates a reliable tool from a confident guess. This is my strongest edge.

Agent design & orchestration

Scoping what an agent should and shouldn’t do, designing the tools it can call, and wiring multi-step workflows that stay on the rails.

RAG & retrieval

Grounding answers in your data with retrieval-augmented generation — so outputs are based on real sources, not the model’s imagination.

Evals, reliability & silent-failure detection

Measuring whether an AI feature actually works, and catching the failures that hide — the basis for ToolWitness, my open-source tool-verification framework.

Tooling, MCP & integrations

Connecting agents to the systems and data they need through the Model Context Protocol and clean integrations — with the guardrails to keep that safe.

Guardrails, safety & data integrity

Cross-source validation, honest failure states, and privacy-aware design — so a broken feed or a hallucination can’t quietly become a wrong decision.

Consulting

Direction, momentum & delivery you can count on

For teams that need a clear plan and the discipline to ship it. Ten-plus years leading complex technology programs — in regulated medtech, enterprise AI, and lean startups.

AI product & delivery strategy

Where AI actually helps your business, what to build first, and how to ship it responsibly — from opportunity to roadmap to delivery.

Technical program & product management

Embedded senior PM/TPM leadership for a critical initiative — aligning teams, unblocking delivery, and keeping the work moving.

Roadmaps, prioritization & governance

A roadmap your stakeholders believe in, a prioritization model that holds up under pressure, and just enough governance to keep quality high.

PMO setup & delivery operations

Lightweight delivery operations that fit your team — cadences, metrics, and rituals that create momentum instead of overhead.

Frameworks I work from

Product judgment, program discipline

These aren’t buzzwords on a slide — they’re how I actually ran products at Dexcom (FDA-cleared medical devices) and delivered programs as a senior technical program manager across Sony, Intuit, and ServiceNow.

Product strategy

Build the right thing

Start with the user & the unmet need
Design Thinking and the Double Diamond, jobs-to-be-done, and real user research — understand the problem before committing to a solution.
Set a North Star, then prioritize
A guiding metric and outcome, with opportunity-solution trees and RICE / MoSCoW prioritization to decide what earns the roadmap.
Define it clearly
PRDs and crisp acceptance criteria that align engineering, design, and stakeholders on the same intent.
Rigor when it counts
From regulated medtech: design controls, risk management, and human-factors thinking — useful anywhere safety and trust matter.

Program delivery

Actually ship it

The right cadence
Agile / Scrum where it fits, phase-gate governance where regulation or risk demands it — matched to the team, not imposed on it.
Capture everything
Meeting notes, action items, and a living task list — with RAID (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) tracked so nothing falls through the cracks.
Dependencies & critical path
Mapping what blocks what, and protecting the long poles, so launch dates are real and surprises are rare.
Process & data discipline
Lean / Six Sigma for process improvement and CRISP-DM for data and ML work — structure that creates momentum, not overhead.

How we work together

Built with you, not just for you

Collaboration is the point, not a slogan. I work embedded with your team — capturing every decision in notes and action items, working a shared task list against a clear critical path — so the result is something you own and understand.

Discover & set the North Star

We start with your users, your goal, and your constraints — a free intro call, then a focused look at the real problem and the one outcome that matters most.

Plan the path

A scoped plan with a task list, the dependencies named, and the critical path called out — so the timeline is real and the risks are visible up front.

Build with you

Short cycles, visible progress, and check-ins with notes and action items captured every time. You see the work as it happens and steer it — no big reveal at the end.

Hand off & support

You get something you understand and can run — clean handoff, documentation where it matters, and support options if you want them.

Who I work with

A good fit for teams that want a partner

Small & mid-size companies

Teams that need senior delivery and real software without standing up a whole department to get it.

Founders & early teams

Founders turning an idea into a shipped product — and who want a strategist who can also build the first version.

Nonprofits & mission-driven orgs

Organizations that need an accessible, trustworthy web presence and tools — built thoughtfully and within budget.

Engagement models

Ways to work with Program Edge

Every engagement is priced to the value and outcome, not the hour. Pick the shape that fits — or we’ll find it together on the intro call.

Fixed-scope project

Build a defined thing

A site, an app, an AI tool, or a specific deliverable with a clear scope and timeline. One price, agreed up front.

Best for: a website, a launch, an MVP, or a well-defined feature.

Advisory retainer / fractional

Ongoing partner

A recurring block of senior product, program, or delivery leadership — embedded with your team on a regular cadence.

Best for: a critical initiative or a team that needs steady senior guidance.

Advisory sprint

Short, focused engagement

A time-boxed sprint to unblock a decision — an AI roadmap, a prioritization reset, a delivery review, or a build plan.

Best for: a specific question you need answered well, fast.

Every engagement is scoped to your goals, so there’s no one-size price list. Book a free intro call and you’ll get a clear proposal with scope, timeline, and price before any commitment.

Not sure which fits? Let’s talk it through.
