Requirements

• ▹Pragmatic technology instincts: proven tools by default, able to defend the exceptions
• ▹Founding-engineer, consulting or forward-deployed experience: comfortable owning outcomes inside someone else's domain
• ▹Daily working relationship with AI tools and agents, as instruments you build with and build for
