Talks
Agentile at Events
These topics are designed to help teams think clearly about AI-native engineering: how decisions change, how guardrails work, and how roles evolve when AI does real work. Available for conferences, leadership offsites, and community events as a session or keynote.
The Decision-Speed Gap
Leading engineering teams when AI moves faster than your org chart
Delivery moves at machine speed. Decision-making still moves at meeting speed. The gap between the two is where quality, trust, and team confidence erode. This talk names the problem, shows where it hides, and shares the patterns that help leaders regain control without slowing things down.
Best for: Engineering leaders, VPs, CTOs
Codifying Trade-offs
Security, cost, and compliance as agent guardrails
In agentic systems, defaults harden into reality before anyone has the familiar conversation about what matters. This talk covers how to make security a path agents walk inside, cost a constraint that shapes choices, and compliance a gate — not an audit. Grounded in the architecture of Git-Ape, an open-source multi-agent platform framework.
Best for: Platform engineers, architects, engineering leaders
Multi-Agent Orchestration
What adversarial and cooperative agent systems have in common
Lessons from building two multi-agent systems — a detective game where nine AI suspects lie and deceive, and Git-Ape, a cooperative infrastructure deployment framework. Different domains, same structural problems: state management, coordination, and knowing when to let an agent run vs when to stop it.
Best for: Engineers, architects, agent builders
The Agentile Operating Model
How teams, roles, and decisions change when AI does real work
Agile assumed all work is done by humans. That assumption no longer holds. This talk covers the operating model for what comes next: how PMs move upstream toward intent, how teams become cells instead of pipeline stages, and how the ISEE principles help organisations structure speed instead of just adding it.
Best for: CTOs, CIOs, CPOs, engineering leaders
