There's a hidden truth in sprint planning
I'd rather deliver fewer tickets that are truly done than more tickets that will be reopened.
Quality integrated early slows apparent velocity but increases real velocity, because rework is invisible drag.
The most efficient teams are not the fastest in a single sprint. They're the ones who revisit the least.
A ticket isn't done when it moves to "done." It's done when it doesn't come back.
A project falling apart, fifty-odd UI defects and no source of truth, and what staying in it taught me: friction only sharpens you when there's something steady to work against.
The story of building Genie — from personal experiment to organizational platform — and what building it changed about how I work, what I'm capable of, and how others engage with me.
What designing for agentic systems actually looks like — mapping real workflows, defining agent behavior, setting guardrails — and why the skills designers already have are the ones that matter most.
I lead design work where systems, code, and AI meet—building the practices and platforms that let cross-functional teams deliver meaningful products efficiently and sustainably.
