Lessons from building with AI: architecture decisions, tradeoffs, and what still requires human judgment.
Your development workspace may be able to read production data. Unity Catalog did not block it. By default, catalogs can be accessible from every workspace attached to the same metastore, subject to privileges.
AI in Action
Building an architecture analyzer where a fabricated citation is unrepresentable — proposer/verifier split, evidence spans from disk, and a CI release gate that treats a compromised proposer as hostile.
Four live apps across a month — four runtime AI postures, one pattern underneath. What AI accelerated, what stayed human, and the architecture principles that connect the series.
Streak theater teaches you to protect the chart. HabitCheck keeps week truth in code, puts AI behind consent, and coaches recovery — without fake completion.
Shipping an AI demo is easy; shipping AI people can trust is harder. Eight dimensions, deterministic scores, and hard gates the model can't talk its way past.
How product thinking, reference architecture, and AI-assisted engineering shipped a production-ready local-first PWA — with judgment remaining entirely human.
How practical engineering, domain architecture, and AI-assisted development shipped a production retirement calculator — from wizard UX to Monte Carlo projections.
Architecture in Practice
How agentic AI integrates with Sitecore CMS — personalization agents, vector search + RAG, AI-enriched content modeling, and workflow automation as platform infrastructure.
