What he does now

Thomas builds and runs software with AI agents every day. He helps companies work this way while building his own products the same way: AI-agent lanes working under written specs, quality gates and automated review.

He works with companies such as:

  • a payments systems integrator for banks
  • a cross-border remittance provider
  • a retail point-of-sale payments provider

He knows payments and how to work in regulated environments, but your business doesn't need to be in payments.

How he works

  • He teaches, your team builds. Workshops set the method up on your own repositories, so your engineers run it themselves after the day.
  • He advises, you decide. On a retainer, he helps you govern how your company uses AI and weigh the decisions you make. Your team does the work.
  • A person decides what ships. Agents do the typing; your engineers keep the judgement.
  • A written scope and price. You know what you get and what it costs before anything starts.
  • Online. Workshops and advice run online, from the Sunshine Coast.
