About allan_s
* A startup needs hands-on technical leadership without a full-time CTO * A team ships too slowly and nobody knows exactly why * Tech debt has become the elephant in every product meeting
I'm a proponent of the boring stack: ingenuity should reflect in the simplicity of the solution, not in its complexity. Currently helping companies use AI without the BS.
