Migrating Amazon ECR Images Between AWS Accounts with a Simple Bash Script
A lightweight Bash script for migrating Amazon ECR images between AWS accounts. The script uses Docker Buildx to copy image references directly between registries, preserving tags and multi-architecture manifests without requiring a local pull, tag, and push workflow.
Building AI-Native Engineering Teams Without Losing Engineering Discipline
AI-native engineering is not about replacing engineers with prompts. It is about redesigning the development system so small, senior teams can use AI across planning, design, implementation, testing, review, and operations without losing control of architecture, quality, or security. This article explains how founders and technology leaders can combine Domain-Driven Design, spec-driven development, TDD, curated context, and automated guardrails to ship products in weeks rather than months while keeping the codebase maintainable and production-ready.
No Backend Needed: Running Python in React with Pyodide
A step-by-step guide to integrating Pyodide into a React + TypeScript + Vite app, loading Python packages like NumPy and Matplotlib in the browser, and generating client-side data visualizations from CSV revenue data.
About
Who I work with
I work with organizations making important decisions across AI, AWS, security, and production readiness — especially when internal complexity is growing faster than architectural clarity.
- Teams moving AI from experimentation into production
- Organizations building secure, governable AI systems on AWS
- Leaders managing architecture, security, and scale at the same time
- Companies that need sharper technical judgment before complexity compounds
Track record
Selected experience
- Designed secure AI and cloud operating patterns for regulated and production-grade workloads, including identity boundaries, deployment controls, logging, and review gates.
- Built and reviewed AI agent designs for enterprise use cases, including governance, control boundaries, and production readiness.
- Led AWS architecture work across security, scalability, resilience, and cost optimisation.
- Advised senior stakeholders on architecture decisions across AI, cloud, platform modernisation, and security.
