- Why AI adoption needs migration discipline
Rolling out AI agents across a company is a migration, whether we call it one or not. It deserves the same care around governance, integration, accountability and cost.
- What bank switching and ATM flows taught me about reliability
A cash withdrawal looks simple. Following one end to end taught me most of what I know about building systems people can trust.
- From the data centre floor to AI agents
Nineteen years ago I was racking servers on night shift. Today I direct AI agents. The skills turned out to be closer than I expected.
- The dashboard said deploys cause incidents
Two lines moving together on a chart feel like proof. Usually they are just an invitation to ask better questions.
- A boring framework that explained regional fintech
PESTEL looks like a school exercise. In Southeast Asian fintech, it turned out to be a very practical way to see risks that code reviews never catch.
- The bias that almost picked our database
Smart teams still make biased decisions. A few simple habits can catch anchoring and confirmation bias before they become expensive.
- The quiet power of the person who connects teams
Some of the most valuable people in an organisation sit between groups that rarely talk. Learning to spot and support these brokers changed how I staff projects.
- Pricing your platform team like a product
Internal platforms often charge by cost, which makes them look like overhead. Thinking in terms of value changes the conversation with the business.
- Two kinds of leadership in one incident room
During an outage, people need clear instructions. Afterwards they need a reason to care, and good tech leaders learn to switch between the two.
- Technical debt has an interest rate
The time value of money explains why small shortcuts become expensive. Treat technical debt like a loan and the trade offs get clearer.
